It is not a bad thing to defend oneself, whatever, WHATEVER the social rules try to say at the time. Rules change, human nature, not so much.
Do not dare to try to legislate someone's reaction to what they feel to be a lack of respect and insult, who the hell are people like you to impose that kind of rule?
OKAY.
Hypothetical situation, someone see's your Political Yard sign and Moons you, What do you do? Obviously car chase comes to my mind first, that is much more offensive than the finger.
Do you not see the absurdity?
If anybody comes to MY house and goes out of their way to insult ME...damn right I will chase them and try to catch them.
Why would I not?
What are you saying here, that I should just not be bothered about people singling me out specifically...in this day and age...what world are you living in?

You could say the same thing about the woman who gave the man the finger. If he was offended by it, tough - right?

1. That's absurd and redneck.
2. Because if you leave your home and follow me to my home, I'm going to kill you with guns.
3. Yes, I'm specifically saying you shouldn't give a # about some bitch driving by your house. Especially if that's just that, some #ing bitch driving by. She didn't get out of her car, she claims to have not even said anything. And you know what? Who #ing cares? A real man would obviously just mentally tag her as a stupid #ing bitch and move on. He made the least adult possible move.
Throwing a rock at her car would have been more acceptable by societies standards.
Chasing someone is a psycho move.

How do you know he hasn't contacted the authorities prior to this?

I suppose you call the police for indecent exposure.
Obviously you call the police if anyone is bothering you at your home.
She could slow down and frown at him every day for all I care, he should have still called the police and not chased her.
'Redneck' unquestionably, no plan, just going to chase her.

I just don't see how a finger is aggressive. Now, holding up a knife or a gun or a bomb - THAT would be aggressive. A finger is just a finger like a sign is just a sign.
If a finger means something, then a sign can mean something too. For some people, a sign putting a woman presidential candidate in prison is "fighting words".

I find these two ironic in their juxtaposition.

EDIT: My point. If you have the balls to insult me, insult me to my face.

For me personally, neither is worth too much trouble.
One is an aggressive action, the other is a campaign sign in the front yard. You're being purposely obtuse here.
