You shouldn't have been in the road. And he didn't hit you with his car. In this situation you're the one causing a "danger to the public". You are in the wrong!
I think you should be disciplined. Maybe you'd learn how to safely cross the street.
You also should learn about not physically lashing out at other peoples property. There was never a reason for you to hit his car.
The biggest lesson you should take away is that you never know who you're fucking with. Dude could have done a lot worse than bitch-slap you and throw a sandwich.
You need to stop acting-the-fool before you piss off the wrong person.
You suffered no injury (other than your bruised ego). There is absolutely nothing to be gained from fucking up this guy's life with legal trouble.
What are you hoping to prove? What does "justice" look like to you in this scenario?

What are you hoping to prove? What does "justice" look like to you in this scenario?
How can you say that I shouldn't have been in the road? How else am I supposed to get from my car's parking spot to the Harris Teeter?  Like I said, there was a safe amount of distance between myself and the approaching car so I started my cross and the car didn't slow down at all. I don't know if you just don't know how to read or not, but like I said: the car would have hit me if I didn't stop and step back while crossing the road. Obviously, having to do that in a parking lot is just not right because the car should have seen me starting my crossing and slowed down. So, this angered me and since the car was literally one foot from my body after I had to step back to save my own life I impulsively swung my empty plastic shopping bag at it. It's like almost getting punched in the face by a dude wayyyy bigger than you so you then decide to hit him with a single feather. I guess some people are afraid of feathers and have to fight some one because of it. They need to get a grip on life.
I may not have mentioned this one fact yet, but right next to where I was crossing the road there is a giant, bright yellow speed bump. Sooooo all signs point to the fact that the guy should have slowed down and let a pedestrian walk to the Hairy Teet in peace.
I do agree with "The biggest lesson you should take away is that you never know who you're fucking with. Dude could have done a lot worse than bitch-slap you and throw a sandwich."
And you're wrong with the last part. The justice I'm seeking is two-fold:
1. Teach this guy a lesson that he needs to drive slowly in parking lots because people are walking around and he could easily kill some one with his car. 2. You can't assault some one for no reason.

That's true, but I wasn't looking for action. I was looking to go buy some groceries. You and others keep thinking my ego is injured for some reason. My ego is doin' great. Sorry to burst y'all's bubble on that.

Now, suppose you had not smacked his car with your sack. Suppose he drove on with you shaking your fist in the rearview. Would you have called the cops then? Yes or No.
If so, then why did you not just do that? You lost your cool and whacked your sack, just as he lost his cool.
If not - If you would not have called the fuzz & had he not gotten out of his car, then maybe the concern isn't over his driving and public safety then.
I hope you can admit to some of this, and see it in another way. Please be cool and drop these charges man. Come back to us! We want the lady slayin piano playin lifeiswhatyoumake back. 😎
It tells me that you must not understand my story clearly, or that you can't read properly.  I wish I had video of the encounter.
"Now, suppose you had not smacked his car with your sack. Suppose he drove on with you shaking your fist in the rearview. Would you have called the cops then? Yes or No."
I would have tried to see if Harris Teeter had video of him ignoring my presence and nearly killing me. If they did then I might, yea. That would perhaps be a reckless driving charge. We can't just let people in cars do that to people in a parking lot. The reason I didn't do that is because I became angry when I had to stop my crossing and step back to save my life and I impulsively swung my empty plastic bag at his car as it was within arm's reach as it drove past me. If the car had just kept driving at that point then I would not have called the cops.
Yea, I admit I did lose my cool (who wouldn't lose their cool having to step back to dodge a car in a parking lot after you started a normally safe crossing?), but not as badly as how much the guy lost his cool. Since he lost his cool wayyy worse than me he is the one in the wrong in the eyes of the law, I presume. And the guy can't say he was acting in self-defense because that's obviously not true. He was the aggressor.
The lady slayin piano playin lifeiswhatyoumake is here because he stepped back and didn't let himself get ran over by a car.

look, my dude, I threw a bike lock at a car that almost ran me down on my bike one time, but i did that with every intention of beating some ass or catching a beatdown should it have connected. People are touchy about their cars. If you fuck with their car in any way, they're probably gonna want to fight you. I honestly don't think anyone ITT thinks you shouldn't be able choose to instigate a fight with some dude that almost ran you over should you desire such, it's just the cop calling that has everyone up in arms, since you should have known at several points that a fight was about to break out.

Boom. Nailed it. I think lots of us have been in situations similar to this. Completely understandable, it's life. But the pettiness of calling the cops as a form of retribution is really, really, really lame.
OP talks of teaching people lessons, but is completely unwilling to learn any himself, as evidenced by this thread and his thread over in MI&C.
The sense of self-righteousness and self-importance is strong with this one.

It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

you decided to cross as to quote you "there was a safe amount of distance between myself and the approaching car so I started my cross and the car didn't slow down at all."
clearly there wasnt a safe distance as he wouldnt have been able to hit you.
youve stepped in front of a car and just expected it to stop for you as just like here you believe the world revolves around only you. You have an entitled child mentality and all of us adults can see it but you unfortunately cant. 
Had you not swung your bag and just chilled out and waited till there was no oncoming cars like a laid back adult then he would have gone on his way and so would have you. He didnt hurt you as you have admitted and youre not disfigured or maimed so get on with your life without the unnecessary court crap. Some people drive like an asshole sometimes as youll find out after many years on the tarmac but its not your job to teach them a lesson about it.
JSB shouldnt have to leave this thread or catch heat from you snitching to admins either. Just wake up to yourself and youll see we are all just trying to help you grow up in areas no other role models have been able to influence you with.
I ask again why do you come here ?
Im sure you break plenty of laws yourself and dont have the justice system following through with that in order to teach you a lesson to not do it again. Thats what youre hoping to achieve for the guy youre pursuing in court.
It sucks things got physical and he threw some bread and poultry at you but lucky it didnt get extremely serious. By your actions it seems like you wanted to get into a fight, hes got out to give you what you were asking for and saw you didnt want to so has not just beated on you senseless.
He hasnt just randomly attacked you, if that was the case we all would feel very different.
You need to learn to not act impulsively, and im sure the scare hes had already worrying about this court crap would have taught him enough. Drop the charges and hopefully you both remember this unnecessary event in the future.

if the car had to slow down in order for you to finish crossing safely, then there wasn't enough room to initiate it in the first place.
lol at this thread. smh at the one in WAF.

once upon a time, about 20 years ago, i was heading into a grocery store...
it was a saturday morning, about 10 or 11, and i was with three of my friends. we were still up early from a long night of partying the day before, and decided we needed some breakfast to offset the remaining toxins still metabolizing through our bodies. i suggested we go to denny's or some shit, but one of the group decided she wanted to cook for us. now, i don't want to sound like i'm racist or anything, but if ever a mexican woman wants to cook for you, you let her do it. just sayin.
naturally, we need some supplies.
so we head out to the store. i pull into the parking lot, locate a spot, park, no problem. text book execution. was inside the lines and everything. and this was in the late 90s, so i didn't need to bring my own bags. we didn't give a fuck about the environment. we get out, and start walking towards the doors. we're joking, laughing, having a good time, sun is shining. great day. on our path we encounter a couple dudes getting out of their car, presumably fellow shoppers. the female of the group turns and whistles at them as we pass. cat calls at one of them, "hey sexy! how YOU doin?" or something of that nature. they turn to look but don't give any noticeable reaction. we keep walking into the store, thought that was the end of it.
we did our shopping and are now on our way out of the parking lot. i stop at the end of the lane for another car making its exit to the road, and while stopped i see in my rear view mirror one of those dudes from earlier. he's walking towards my car, waiving his arms in the air. he's obviously trying to get my attention, and i couldn't tell if he was upset. i thought maybe he wanted to talk to my friend that was whistling at him or something. i was wrong.
he walks up along the driver side of the car to my window, and i roll it down. "hey man, what's up?" he replies with his fist. landing one hard to my left eye. it almost put me out. i open my door hard enough to knock him back a few feet and i get out. i was in pretty good shape back then. i had just got out of high school, attending first year college, and was still wrestling competitively. it was the off season, but i wasn't out of shape, by a long shot. i wrestled 160, but was probably closer to 180 at the time.
i square up with this guy, and he runs away into the store. i start to chases after him, but my friends stop me. now, we had blocked up traffic pretty good by this point. there were tons of people around, tons of witnesses. there was a boy scout troop doing some kind of fund raiser out front, and an old mexican woman selling tamales. i could see the tamale lady was on her phone, she was calling the cops.
so i'm hanging back with my friends and still fighting with them to let me chase after this guy when the cops pull into the parking lot. and just as they are pulling in, the guy who assaulted me books it out of the store and around the back, and into the desert behind it. the cop pulls up to where i'm standing and identifies me as the victim. he asks me where dude went, i told him i didn't know. that's when we notice that a couple of the boy scouts were off to the side of the parking lot and yelling at us, and pointing to somewhere out in the desert. they had tailed the guy as he ran out and knew where he was hiding.
with the boy scouts tip the cops find and arrest the guy fairly quickly. i didn't have to press charges, the state did it for me. and it was a good thing too, because my injuries were fairly substantial. my left orbital was pretty well shattered, and i ended up getting some emergency facial reconstruction surgery that day. the emergency part was that one of the bone fragments was fairly close to severing my main optic nerve or some shit. i could have lost my eye, i guess. they took a bone graft from the side of my skull to rebuild my eye socket.
the reason the guy hit me is still kind of blurry, mostly it was a case of mistaken identity. he thought i was someone else. he was tweaking real hard, for one thing. had been up for a few days i guess, he had shit on him too, which didn't help his case at all, which was already fucked. was his third aggravated assault charge, and he was still on probation from the one before. he ended up doing time over it.

That’s why I have a reputation for having zero tolerance for bullshit that draws attention while out. I don’t even like being with people who don’t have a background training if I’m going to some hang out spot. When that guy tried to get your attention you should have dumped it and went on your way. There was nothing “good” that he could have told you... did you see the photos of xxxtentacion? It’s so easy to get cornered even if you’re conscious of the whole thing.
People are legit fuckin nutts man, it’s bad mojo to start tempting fuckers in areas of pride.. so important to stay safe, especially with others.

That’s one good thing about all those fucked up videos you can find online, you can see how quickly shit can go south. Watch a line up of car crash videos and then go to the store, you’ll probably be more mindful of everything..

I’ve heard funky stories about those orbital breaks, how did that heal over time? Like for example when I broke my nose I got that deep deep bone pain in my brain. How did your eye feel, does it ache in cold weather etc? Did it knock your eye off aim any or make it blurry?

you know, i didn't make the connection until just now that you asked, but it all kind of makes sense. the vision in my left eye is worse than my right. when i had to retake the eye exam to get my license back after my dui, i actually failed my left eye. not bad enough to need glasses though. everything healed just fine. to look at my face you'd never guess, and because it was my own bone they used to fixed it with they said it would fuse together like it was never broke to begin with. there is still a small titanium screw in there though. and i got a mean scar on the side of my head. cant see it too good right now, but next week ill get my hair cut and post a pic.

hijacking the thread op may call the cops.
I was in mistaken identity scenario in sac town. 2 dudes in hoods kicked the door completely in, jam and all across the room and proceeded to beat the shit outta me and my buddy who where having a date like movie night(Trying to get some ass) at the girls apartment. Needless to say the comotion and shit breaking and screams and all brought the police. When they get done talking with everyone,us,lookyloos,standerbys,ect they say they got stabbings and shootings and no time for dudes with hoods. Then they take my friend to jail because you no your name gets ran everytime and he had a warrant. girls expected me to fix the door. I bounced.
