OP, glad you're safe. In future, please rethink giving the middle finger to anyone anywhere. There are a lot of mentally ill people who are not supposed to drive but are on the road anyways. One time a woman driver showed me what looked like a 7 inch knife because I honked when she didn't turn right after lights turned green and it's been a few seconds she's been sitting. That was on Newbury St. These days it's best to keep your head down and ignore unless someone directly attacks you, no guarantee anyone will show up on time to protect you. Better safe not engaging psychos out there

My god really? Do you think these folks do this because they know there won’t be any ramifications? you run that risk of what this guy ran into. But I’d have run back at the guy not away from. choose your battles wisely.

I will continue to flip folks off but I sure hope I don’t get beat up like OP

Your getting downvoted for trying to save lives out here. Half of your downvotes themselves wouldn’t flip ppl off, I promise you

Not sure why this is being downvoted. This is sound advice. Sucks that this happened to OP, but flipping someone off can instigate the wrong person in the wrong ways to do the wrong things and if you’re not carrying (which I doubt anyone in Boston does) then you might feel very unsafe.
