Road Rage Shooting Caught On Dashcam, What Would You Have Done?

Summary

A road rage incident in Orange County’s Wawayanda involved an off-duty Kingston police officer, Anthony Simon, and driver Wallace Fisher. It started with tailgating, brake-checking, and swerving after a car wash, escalating when Fisher exited his vehicle, possibly with a knife, and approached Simon’s truck. Simon shot Fisher twice in the neck and shoulder, leaving him in critical but stable condition; no charges filed yet as police investigate.

The video host condemns both drivers for initial escalations but stresses never exiting your car during road rage, as it turns into a physical confrontation where self-defense can justify lethal force.

Human ego fuels road rage like Russian roulette; stay in your vehicle, create distance, and avoid playing to stay safe.

Key Points

  • Road rage began with mutual aggressive driving: tailgating, brake-checking, and blocking.
  • Fisher approached Simon’s truck aggressively, possibly armed, prompting shots in possible self-defense.
  • Never exit your car in road rage—it’s escalation, not defense.
  • Ego makes road rage deadly; the winning move is not engaging.
  • Even justified self-defense risks legal consequences.
