Before I choose sides here, I’m gonna have to know...
How slow was this chick driving, and was she hot?
That's a good way to get clipped. ^^^^^^^^^^^
Oh - no. I think he's saying that the guy walking up to the car on the driver's side is a good way to get clipped... by the driver moving away at a healthy pace.
So here's a question (or 3). Other than blocking traffic, what crime do we have RAS for?
Did he point the gun at her? Is there an allegation that he communicated a threat to her?
I just posted a picture I saw on Facebook. Is that a rule violation?
Not you. The subject of your post.
The behavior in that pic would likely be enough for me to respond with deadly force... in the form of gratuitous use of gas pedal. There’s no reason for someone to block my vehicle, get out, and approach me with gun in hand.
Also... if he is so mad about how slow the lady is driving then why is he parked in FRONT of her car...?
Oy vey - this is the shade of threads past!
I don't really disagree. But, that's an answer to a different question: would self defense of the deadly kind be justified.
I'm more curious about what crimes have been committed. That is the important question for LEOs getting involved.
There's always room for shoulda coulda woulda. But, LEOs are going to be constrained by what the law actually is and the events that are actually described.

In a bit of an INGO-infinite-loop/singularity event, if the guy was approaching her "to see if something was wrong" while open-carrying (in his hand) and she drove at him such that he was in fear of his life, would he have been justified in shooting at her?

I’d imagine intimidation/threat if forceable felony would apply.

Regardless of whether anyone technically committed a crime, a good LEO will appreciate information on unusual/suspicious activity in his or her patrol beat/district. Today's "not technically a crime" could be valuable information in tomorrow's road rage shooting.
Gun in hand is not “open carry”. Try not to lawyer this up too much.

I think I'm getting ahead of myself.
Let's say an officer looks up from their facebook feed after seeing that post and sees that exact car driving around town. Can the officer pull the vehicle over?
