Road Rage Kills

Early saturday morning, two men got into a road rage fueled argument at the Marina Green in San Francisco. This is about three blocks from where we live.
A little while later, the two men found themselves at a stop light at Marina Blvd and Scott St (two blocks from our home) where 26 year old Darren Mears got out of his car.
When he approached the other driver, the guy pulled out a gun and shot Mears dead. BAM, done. 26 years old, game over. No one was willing to just be the better person and let it go. Was it worth it? The other guy was in a beat up white pick up truck with a rack on it. He shot Mears and drove off into the night. Will they ever catch the guy? Probably not.
So, the next time you find yourself getting all riled up at the old lady driving next to you, think twice about rolling down your window and pelting her with words, rocks, coffee or spit. You never know what that crazy old bitch might whip out and shoot back at you. Seriously. It could all be over in a flash.
Driving is not a personal thing unless you make it that way. Just remember, everyone on the road is trying to get somewhere. They see other cars as obstacles, not people. So, they are not trying to deliberately piss you off (usually). Just take a deep breath and think of Darren Mears when you are in that moment of road rage. Is it really worth the risk?
