You don't know why someone is speeding, and it's not your job to enforce traffic laws. There was a story I remember reading a while back of someone's friend having a chainsaw accident, and them watching their friend bleed out in their car because some dumb piece of shit figured they'd play traffic cop and blocked them in traffic. If you see someone driving aggressively, just assume they're driving that way because they're about to shit their pants, and let them go on their merry way. Report them if you want, but don't endanger yourself and others trying to be a "hero"

I'd rather not take my eyes off someone tailgating me to change lanes and get conned again

My jesus in fucking christ, your eyes should be on the road in front of you, apart from brief checks of your mirrors, and brief head checks while lane changing.

You might be the bad guy

Maybe...

Though, because a lot of details could be missing, passing judgment one way or the other could make one liable to something not unlike shaming a victim.

There may also be a possibility that I'm making the whole event up to create a laugh or just to rile people up, such as some people who may have a narrow idealistic views. This is a channel intended for entertainment on the internet after all.
