Impossible to know for sure, and enraged people can be unpredictable. But Hicks might have a different version of events if he were still alive. Perhaps he would tell us that Sartori was not just 'looking' at him, maybe he was laughing at the road-rager, or making fun of him?
I've done that a time or two myself.
If not though, if Sartori was truly in fear for his life, I would hope he could clearly articulate in court what made him believe he was in true danger. If I drew down on everyone who said they would shoot me, I would consider myself a fool.
