Update: The Harris County District Attorney's office has officially accepted charges, and Precinct 4 constables are actively hunting him down. ​A Houston man pulled a machete on a woman, and the reason why is absolutely terrifying. ​The victim was driving near Grant Road and Highway 249 on Thursday morning... when she simply slowed down for an active school zone. ​The suspect cut her off, threw his truck in park, grabbed a machete from his back seat, and explicitly threatened to cut her head off before continuing to follow her. ​ ​People are completely losing their minds on the road,show more

He would have died there in the street had it been my wife or I.

Exactly. You pull a machete in traffic over a school zone, you shouldn't expect to walk back to your truck.

@arcagent2 This is how you end up on a tee shirt at a fish fry benefit. It’s Houston. We all packing

@DesireeAmerica4 Good plan

She should have been armed and shot him on approach and this would already be over! And no taxpayers dollars would go to investigating his whereabouts, his trial, his time in jail, his food/clothing/medical/etc. And it would also serve as a deterrent for other would be road maniacs out there.

Instead of a permanent solution, the taxpayers are now going to foot the bill for his public defender and his three hots and a cot.

Exactly my point. I prefer the permanent solutiin for maniacs with machetes! The dude chose violence and I say let the FAFO begin! Why the rest of the world doesn't see our position on this is mind numbing!

Reason 627 for the second amendment. Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.

Texas is the absolute worst state to play samurai in morning traffic. He is incredibly lucky she wasn’t carrying

Someone has to know this moron.

You in Texas?

Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Carry. Train. Did I mention, carry?

Dude got lucky and went up to the one car that didn't have someone carrying a firearm.

@janet12g Never bring a knife to a gunfight

I would not hesitate one second putting that car in drive and flattening him into nothing.

@cadellemarie3 She should have run his fat ass over

@BrightEyesAZ Being arrested probably saved his life. He was bound to run into someone with a .308 bullpup truck gun.

People are much more dangerous now then decades ago . Our Society has lost thier minds, great job politicians, the media, education system and the courts. We see it here often. Very sad.

If you come at my car with a machete, I'm going to run you over. Are we really expected to sit there and allow any maniac to attack us??

Very dangerous thing to do in Houston. He's very lucky to walk away.

So in Texas, you could legally shoot him for approaching with a machete?

That dude walking up with a machete would have been a speed bump after I floored it over him.

I will tell you this without telling you this, Monday would have come with one less ugly heart

I live in TX and would have done this

Would have been his last rodeo...

Texans get road rage disproportionately b/c their politicians are actively giving away their once great state to 3rd world immigrants. Texans watch like helpless children and do nothing. Road rage, buying big trucks, wearing boots to appear tall, and cliché 2A bumper stickers are coping mechanisms for a conquered populace.

Whoa, I really do need to get my license to carry very soon….this is down the road from my house.

@lisa_sitko This is why you have your sidearm on you. He approaches the car threatening you and double tap, threat neutralized.

In Houston, that's a good way to get yourself shot. Bringing a machete to a gun fight isn't very smart... 🥴

Maaaan fuck him but that can’t be the whole story lol. If so then man ppl have truly lost their damn minds out here

Arrest this lunatic and quickly.

@InYourDreams64 Try that on me down here in Florida. My gun's quicker than your machete swing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@VoluntaryOnly From the Congo?

People....CARRY A FIREARM!! This is the EXACT use case on why you need to carry. This is Texas. That woman would've been well within her rights to shoot him dead. Don't be a victim.

Time to start deleting people on the spot. You walk up with a machete and it's no words just hollow points.

Fact : it’s a Texas - why wasn’t the driver armed and used appropriate force?

Amazing that he wasn't shot in Houston. We are a carry state and nearly everyone is packing.

@IamthatIam321 Bring a machete to my car. I’ll give you lead poisoning.

Driving in Texas isnt what it use to be - the new comers do not understand our driving laws, or being courteous and friendly. So many idiots. IDK this guys story, but I’d have been on the phone with the sheriff’s department explaining that I was being forced to defend myself.

@jstratton90 Approach my vehicle with a machete….make your peace with God
