Default Am I in the wrong?

Ok let me paint the picture here. It was a beautiful day yesterday. As a matter of fact the past couple of day have been gorgeous. 80+ degrees and my top and doors have been off the past 3 days. I was at a red light, birds were singing and even had a lot of people complementing me on my jeep, even though I know them (I live in a small town) lol. As I was waiting for the light to change I happen too look down and thought that would be a cool picture.

I was minding my own business and up rolls a jacked up ram 2500 cummins. Heck I was looking at the rims and noticed the guy scowling and proceeds to rev the dang thing up and blow black soot, cause it was a stove pipe coming out the back, all over me and my jeep. I let it go, you know what ever, right? He done it again. Then a third time...on that last time, I was sent into a world of pissed off that I haven't been in awhile. So I pulled the small fire extinguisher I have and proceeded to spry him through his passenger window! Evidently I shot his woman aswell but at this point, for all I care, she was collateral damage. So he gets out and I fill his face full! Now during all of this...a town cop is a car behind me. He gets out, I went to school him, a good friend of mine, and he breaks up the fight, even though the douche couldn't see. Anyways he stomps off yelling he's gonna sue and drives off.

After I calm down and stop seeing red I ask my cop buddy if I should worry, he said "naw"(were country boys) that he saw everything and he had my back. He looks at me and starts laughing. Says I can't believe you shot him with a fire extinguisher. We laugh and talk for awhile.

So my question is: was I in the wrong? And if so, how would you have done it differently?

I probably would have done the same thing. I definately would have made sure I didn't get anybody else messed up. I hope you apologized to the lady and offered to clean any clothing or whatever.

Not in the wrong. That's hilarious. I would have pulled him out the first time and left him in the street wishing he hadn't. Told his girl to hop in the jeep and enjoy a real mans ride cause she knows she wants to anyways. lol. All kidding aside that's hilarious how you responded.

You handled yourself the way you should have. If you had reacted after the first time, it might've been a little overboard. The third time he did it though, all bets are off in my opinion. You gotta stand up for yourself at some point. Well done!
