An eighteen-year-old young man was shot in the head while traveling on the Central Expressway (US 75) in Dallas Saturday (Sept 8) in an obvious case of road rage. No one has been caught yet, although there are leads that the police are following. All I know is that a young man is dead, and that he is only one of hundreds who will die in similar situations this year.
When will the madness end? It is heartbreaking. Here is an article on the story: http://www.msnbc.com/local/KXAS/NBCDQTI3GRC.asp ------------------ |

Traffic gets so snarled up here in the DC metropolitain area its projections are almost the number one spot for "in car" travel time during peak hours. I personally ride the bus to the Metro saving my sanity. I have almost been hit walking to the Metro! Just last week the pedestrian walk sign turned white for walking..so I looked both ways, nothing. by the time I got half way across the turning lane people sped through the intersection and almost hit me! When I pointed to the walk sign the first lady started cussing and honking at me! I almost lost my cool but just laughed it off. All the people did was get 20 feet up the road only to stop anyway. Imagine if I was to have walked up and knocked on her window and asked her why it almost cost my legs to get 20 feet up the road...deciding a long time ago that its not worth it..I dont do things like that. Its like a big road rage here What about that guy who threw the doggie out into traffic...there are alot of time bomb drivers out here. It seems like they all get behind me or in front of me somehow. Oh how I miss driving country roads. Where all you see is wildlife and nice people waving at you when you drive by.
Sorry for going off the handle SlackerBoy. I say invest more tax dollars into getting all these daily commuters off the road somehow. More access to public transportation,work at home stations,defferd(sp) tax dollars to promote public transportation,heavy fines for road rage offenders.Public beatings...well, just a thought. ------------------ *\Conan/* |
