Some people go apeshit when you try to take a picture of their vehicle on a public street. Sometimes if there is someone in the vehicle the best thing to do is ask to avoid a confrontation or try to do it from across the street. If that fails, and they assault you, hopefully you will get a shot of them or their licence plate number which would help if you want to press charges.

He's probably paranoid from using too much of his own product (they sell more than Ice Cream)

My issue with Mr. Softee is price gouging-in Brooklyn a cone can be as low as $1.25 and elsewhere as high as $2.25. I have also heard that the "ice cream" is made of stuff I don't even want to think about. I do enjoy seeing the trucks-a sign spring has arrived.

Sounds like he's not such a softee after all...
