WOW, that is sad...yes, I have met MANY a UPS driver I have wanted to shoot (due to the way they can drive anymore...fast, idiotic, buttholish, etc.), but doggone, I wouldn't shoot them! I USED to respect their drivers as they ran about 65mph or so and acted decent, NOW they run 75mph or more and act like buttholes...but, I STILL wouldn't freggin' shoot them because of it...SHEESH!!!

Ever stop to think how vulnerable we as drivers really are?Had a friend wounded as he drove during a 70`s truck strike.Helped another driver after an oncoming car on rt.60 in wv threw a brick into his windshield.You are at the mercy of whatever nutjob makes you his target.
On a funnier note another friend was robbed at gunpoint in the Bronx.After the robber got his wallet and was walking away,Ted picked up the ballpeen hammer he bumped his tires with,threw it,knocked the robber out.As he came-to,ZTed had gotten his wallet,the robbers wallet(with $11 init)and a nice pistol.Then chased him away!!lol
