Just got home van totaled guy ran red light [View all]

I was in an intersection turning left.Waiting for cars to pass the light turned red and cars kept coming through.I blasted my horn.And after the last car went through I started to turn that another car came and hit me. The guy had a gun on him and was younger. And said no hard feelings. Dude, I said you ran the red light. He goes, I will see you in court. It was yellow. I'm just kind of p***** because there's plenty of witnesses to sing.It wasn't my fault and the cops giving me a ticket for going through the red light.Also , because I was past the white line in the intersection.... Right now I'm trying to relax.So i'm having a shot up vodka but i'm pissed
