Football season started. Check to see if the local team has been losing. I know there is a correlation between a rise in domestic violence and the home team losing.

Sam
Are you implying that the footballers are violent, or their rabid fans are violent?

Just curious, I have no real stake in the matter either way.

Have you all seen the case that is on trial in Florida? Guy gets cut off in traffic by two other guys, he follows them everywhere. The two guys call a brother, and the brother meets them somewhere and get out...all the while still being followed. When the Road Raging follower charges at one of them with the car, the brother getting out of his truck close by opens fire with a shotgun loaded with slugs, killing the 5-year old girl in the back seat of the Road Raging followers car. Pretty jacked up situation.

I get Road Rage some times, but not enough to follow someone for over 20 miles as in the situation above. Key is to just let it go and act mature. That way someone innocent and oblivious to the conflict does not get hurt or killed.

I don't know if you guys heard abt this but in Metro NYC a motorcycle rider was killed after being dragged by a road raging cager. The motorcycle actually blew up which obviously instantly killed the rider. Why did the cager go mental you ask? Beause he was passed by the motorcyclist in "an aggressive manner".

I hope the ****ar gets dragged by Bubba in jail.

Harpoon is wise,

I am a victim of Road rage in my car. I would has out the whole story but we'll leave it at; beaten up while strapped in my S with the top down at a light. I now have no feeling on the left side of my face.

Be careful out there. You wait patiently at an ATM for someone to conclude business, we should have the same courtesy on the road.
