I think she WAS tailgaiting him. \\;\\\\\\;Not something we riders appreciate.
 \\;\\\\\\;
I think he should have turned the corner and rode on.
 \\;\\\\\\;
I think she had no reason to shoot him.
 \\;\\\\\\;
I think her son did taunt him.
 \\;\\\\\\;
I think she needs some kind of consequence for what she did, and so does her son.
 \\;
I think I've learned a lot from this and will remember it while out there on my bike or in the car.
The only thing I learned from all of these post is that there are people on here that think its okay for a woman to shoot firsttalk and let her \\;son kick later. I wonder if those same people have ever watched someone die over foolish crap. Ever thought of the waste of life and how this could have gone so many different ways. I pack a pistol. I have never thought of using it to settle a disagreement that doesn't already involve weapons. I may lose on the draw but all I try for is my turn. To give better than you got. I will take a life if I have too but its not done lightly.
Here's another \\; news article
This one from WHAS Channel 11 - The ABC affiliate
It adds some interesting details previously unkown.

Motorcyclist shot in the chest "Road Rage" incident tells his side of the story
6:05 PM EDT on Monday, June 30, 2008
(WHAS11) - The motorcyclist who was shot in a road rage incident earlier this month is out of the hospital and talking to police.
From the time Wesley Mosier junior got off his motorcycle until the time Yalanda Parrish shot him was a total of eleven seconds.
But what happened during the seconds before the shot was fired is in dispute Larry Wilder, Mosierâs attorney, said his client was gunned down in cold blood.
âThe window was partially rolled down and she told him that âtoday was his lucky day.â he asked what she meant and she said âIâm gonna kill you,â says Mosierâs attorney.
According to Mosier, before he could turn around and leave, Parrish, quote,â Pulled a gun, turned it sideways gangster style and shot him in the chest.â
But Parrish told police Mosier was trying to attack her.
âHe ran up to my car, opened up my door and hit me with a fist,â Parrish can be heard saying on the 911 recording.
Wilder says if Parrish ever did feel threatened, she had plenty of chances to get away from Mosier. Almost all witness accounts say that trouble started between the two motorists more than a mile away as they drove down 10th street, otherwise known as Highway 62.
Wilder says Parrish should have noticed Mosier even had a handicapped license plate on his motorcycle. Wilder says Parrish had 41 possible routes of escape during the time she and Mosier were driving together in traffic for more than a mile.
He said she should have never perceived him as a threat, since she should have seen his handicapped license plate and the manner in which he approached her car.
âHe had on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Clearly, he had no weapon. Clearly the reports indicate she opened the door,â says Wilder.
Police have also found a new witness who claims to have had a problem with Parrish in the past, bringing the total to four different reports in which she allegedly threatened or attacked someone.
She is identified in a police report as Parrishâs former mail carrier, who Parrish allegedly stalked and attempted to run over with a vehicle.
It is important now to note that no one has been charged with anything in connection with the road rage incident.
We called Parrishâs attorney at his office and on his cell phone, but we have not heard back from him.
The Clark County grand jury will likely hear the case on July 9th .

Almost hitting somebody, or Almost causing a wreck is NOT justification for INTENTIONALLY shooting somebody. \\; \\; NOW, if they almost (intentionally) hit you or almost (intentionally) wreck you once, and THEN are trying it a second time.......that opens up a whole 'nother can of worms. \\;

I say fry her and her son...As was stated previously in this thread, you cannot block a vehicle in with a motorcycle. If I were to feel threatened in this case, I would have rolled right over his \\;bike while he parked it in front of me (with him off it of course). To me, this would have been a better option than pulling the trigger in this case. Plus it would have immobilized the vehicle to prevent pursuit and then called 911. I do not believe he got off his bike to just "talk" with her. He was pissed and there is no doubt in my mind he was threatening. Stupid move on his part but a "stupider" move on her part when she had much better options. \\; Deadly force is to be used only as a last resort. Plus she has a history of bad judgement and actions.
