If I were the BMW driver, I'd be making sure immigration were at the court when the truck driver and witnesses were supposed to appear.

Other than that, I'd call the BMW guy a jerk off, but he's clearly not smart enough to know which hand to use.

Let's just say that there's a proportionally high concentration of a group of people in the local vicinity of where the incident happened, who are often stereotyped to prefer a certain color scheme of premium vehicles and a very particular driving style with ethnic origins in an area that was previously part of the Russian Empire, the USSR, and is now an independent country.
There was a systematic mass murder & expulsion of this group of people about a century ago, an event many, but not all, governments recognize as a genocide.

So, while not Russian, you're close (geographically speaking).
The last name and stereotyped way of speaking were mentioned in earlier posts as well.

Fucking awesome! I've wanted to do this to the selfish, inconsiderate fuckfaces I see on the road everyday myself but I would never hurt my car lol. I guarantee the dude getting rammed said some shit and only did so thinking he would never have to deal with a confrontation like most PC pussies do in the world. He probably was also dealing with the cluster fuck known as Laurel Canyon and finally had enough LMFAO.

LAPD reported that the truck ran a red light hitting the BMW. The BMW driver went to get out of his car and the truck attempted to drive away (hence the open door). Unfortunately for the truck driver, it was attached to the front end of the BMW. The result was the videos above.

Most likely is that the 7 series started to get dragged by the truck as the driver was trying to get out scaring/enraging the BMW driver.

I’m from Eastern Europe, with a good command of English and on behalf of that entire region I’m currently struggling to find a polite way to tell you there’s a greater than 10% chance you’re an idiot.

LA if literally the wild west. Overcrowded, polluted, and filled with some of the craziest most vapid people alive.

I've never seen the number of pure crazies on the roads as I do here. These are people you shouldn't even honk at otherwise they'll go apeshit. Too many losers with poor impulse control and nothing to lose.

Well, 2 wrongs don't make it right, but looks like the Armenian driver was trying to stop some bozo who tried to run off, maybe went slightly too far, but just slightly. If I was him, I would not do it, not worth getting booked by LA's finest. I'd just call the police and try to follow the truck. Easier said than done, though. That said, I hope that this situation works out for him and he learns his lesson.

Come on, man. We're known for not using our blinkers. Not smashing into other cars in fits of furious anger
True, I definitely see your point.

My point was that this guy's "overreacting" will be used as an example of how all Bimmer owners are uber jerks/dumb jocks/etc.

Doesn't matter if it's not a typical example...it will be sensationalized to represent the "average" Bimmer owner.

Stereotypes can be fun!
