Man Who Cut Off Uber Driver Said He Had a Gun — That’s When the Driver Shoots In Self-Defense

An Uber driver and his passenger had a close call after a man cut them off on the road and got out of his pickup truck saying he had a gun.

The dash camera on Uber driver, Robert Westlake’s, car showed he had to stop on the road after pickup truck driver, Jason Boek, cut him off and stopped. Boek then got out of his vehicle and started to aggressively walk over to him.

“You know I got a pistol? You want me to f**king shoot you,” Boek shouted as he raised his arm with a dark object in his hand.

That’s when Westlake pulled his own firearm and shot Boek once, killing him.

It was later revealed that Boek did not have a gun on him, as he was holding his cellphone instead.

Watch the video below:

The incident started because Boek mistakenly thought his girlfriend, who he had just exchanged a heated text conversation with, was in the Uber.

Unfortunately for Boek, the driver he cut off was a licensed armed security guard with concealed weapons permit. CNN further reports that Westlake had just completed training to become a police officer.

In the 911 call, Westlake calmly explained that after he was threatened, he put one round center mass in Boek:

“This is a justifiable homicide all day long. You have the right protect yourself,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd stated on the incident. “This was the intent of the law.”

Judd is referring to Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which states people are not obligated to retreat first if they feel their lives are threatened.

“Here’s a message for the hotheads of the community: Don’t do that stuff,” Judd continued. “Good people carry guns and they will shoot you. A lot. Graveyard dead.”

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
