6 Year Old Killed In Road Rage Incident

This is so sad. That poor mother will always blame herself. I'm not subject to road rage myself, If someone wants to cut me off I don't care a bit, unlike my husband, I don't always think I'm going to a fire and every second counts, but I know lots of people who do get easily angered on the road and I think we need to keep that in mind before we start -- or continue --incidents.

We were stepping out of Walmart into the striped area yesterday and a woman flew by almost hitting my husband, looking down at her phone. with pedestrians everywhere. What is wrong with people?
 

I just read this in the news... How absolutely devastating!! In this day and age of road rage, why that mother thought it would be ok to flip the bird at anyone while having a child in the car is beyond me, and rightly she should be blaming herself for the rest of her days!

the shooter was in the wrong but the mother was the catalyst!!

Drivers who are caught playing on their cellphones should receive a stiff fine and lose their license for life. :mad:

No, don't you dare throw the mother under the wheels of the bus.

If those packing guns in the USofA are that immature and void of brain cells where they look to reach for their guns to settle petty scores, then they're the catalyst.

Exactly the point that's often missed by non thinkers.
When my parents became too old to drive, I drove them everywhere, but my mother would yell at every driver she thought did something wrong & also would blow the horn. I told her, "The next time you yell at another driver or touch the horn while I'm driving, you'll have to hire your own chauffeur. I'm not getting shot for your stupidity." She never did it again.

Intelligent people who are mature and have functioning brain cells know that there ARE immature people void of brain cells & know how stupid it is to antagonize such people.

I don't buy into your babble.

But hey, if you want to go through life using yourself as a welcome mat for everyone to kick and stub the soil off their footwear on, that's strictly up to you.

That's OK. Feel free to flip off anyone you choose. We'll miss you.

Altercations and gestures are common among drivers, with no grave consequences.

That's the joy of calling Canada my home, our governing parties are intelligent enough to recognize how unintelligent it is to allow it's people to pack guns around.

@hollydolly All the "good news" from the U.S. gets reported all over the world it seems. :(

I would never, ever honk or 'gesture' to someone on the road. If the driver is driving like a jerk, they probably are a jerk and no way would I entice someone like that.

But where does it end, Remy?

Because you live in the USofA, you just allow everyone to walk on you?

Is that what the gun-culture in the USofA has created? Everyone living in fear? Afraid to say anything or stand up to anyone?
 
I'd just like to point out just because someone is driving a car, doesn't mean they have a legal license to do so. This also applies to having a firearm, equally likely to not be legally in their possession.

Intelligent people know how to stand up to someone without resorting to infantile vulgarity.

I had a feeling you'd come along and post something along the lines of what you did.

Yes, of course, violence, including gun violence has existed, and will always exist no matter what country or form of control governing parties look to implement, and it's true, in metro centres in Canada... Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton, crime rates have soared, gun violence included, but thanks to our governing parties, gun crimes aren't anywhere near as prevalent here in our country as they are in the USofA, and most shootings you hear of in our country are gang related (targeted hits), unlike in your country where reaching for ones gun is how people solve their daily problems no matter how trivial.
