Regardless of what you were doing (which is easy to guess), a simple conversation with the guy may have been a better course of action. I hope others reading this thread don't file this one with the other great "incident" examples. Endangering others with a jason bourne inspired car chase is just not the right way to handle things.

I would have been happy to roll down my window for anyone who walks up to my vehicle in that parking lot. I've done it many times.
Unfortunately, the first I saw of the suspect, he was a few feet behind my car following me while I was doing my job. When I made a few regular-speed turns to see if he was really following me, that's when he started to get agressive. He blocked me in. He tried to crash into me. Getting out of my car would have been a bad idea. Rolling down the window after his actions would have made me a sitting target for someone wanting to do harm.
I've had a few people walk up and ask why I'm parked somewhere. I don't mind telling them and having a civil conversation. I'll even find another spot if they don't feel comfortable with me there. Unfortunately, this guy took it to a seriously dangerous level.
