If you have a driver’s license, or in some cases even if you do not, then you know how frustrating it can be to simply traverse the highways and byways of whatever city you may be living in. Road rage is a real and dangerous phenomenon and when you mix high tempers with short fuses in a high-stress situation you can often time witness a recipe for disaster that can even escalate to criminal behavior.

There is nothing more frustrating than dealing with a crowded parking lot. Imagine the mall parking lot the day before Christmas or the day after Thanksgiving and you begin to realize just what type of situation could cause a person to have a mental breakdown. During these types of situations, not everyone makes the best decisions or acts in a respectable manner. Situations, as described above, can and have led to physical altercations.

What we witness below at first appears to be a parking lot scuffle over an empty space but as you will witness below, escalates very quickly. The gentleman in the red jacket appears to be outnumbered but upon closer inspection, it would seem that he just isn’t getting much help from his buddy. At one point the man is quite literally running away from his attackers.

There comes a point in time when a man has exhausted all of his resources in a parking lot scuffle so there is only one logical thing to do…grab an axe! Quickly opening up the trunk of his car the man in the red jacket grabs the weapon and decides it is his turn to go on the offensive.
