    Not even gonna bother quoting BuddyD, but mass shootings are exactly what the Supreme Court made their ruling about.

    I also like he has thrown out multiple insults, then cant handle my opinion and has to put me on ignore.

    Lots of imature hot heads around these days that assume and dont have the self control to defuse a situation.
    I had a run in with a swift driver in st.louis last night who ASSUMED I had yelled at him and cut loose with the F bomb .
    Long story short he was apologizing profusely when I told him what I really said and we parted ways laughing .

    people are over stressed each and every day. this has been going on for years, nothing new.

    the quick release of violence settles them down, but only for a short time, till the next victim comes on by.

    it never ends, as they blame everyone else.

    Unfortunately the days of slugging it out and then buying each other a drink are long gone. I’ve witnessed 12 year olds with guns when I was growing up.


    Assumptions are needed, when we drive we always assume the 4wheeler is an idiot so we change lanes, we assume the rig in front of us is driven by a monkey so we stay back, we assume our brakes will fail going downhill so we slow down.

    In this case we can also assume these two idiots don’t have the common sense to slug it out and be done with it and continue on.

    In that regard one can assume once that rig hits the road the other team member who can’t control her anger might go ape #### while the driver is driving, causing a collision that kills a family of 4.

    So yes when two drivers are duking it out do it out of site or someone needs to get LEO involved. I don’t want these idiots on the road.

    I suppose reading these forums is kinda like watching a cat fight. Minus the boobs flopping out and hair pulling…

    And yet some people don’t want to call the cops to get stupid off the road.

    Imagine if these where two drivers with each their own rig, fighting it out then one leaves and the other follows and tries to run the other down?

    What can possibly go wrong? Everything

    Safest bet is to alert authorities let them handle it.

    Professional driver means being a Professional. These hood rats this applies to men as well don’t belong in this industry.

    I ain’t a snitch but they ain’t from the underworld either. Rules apply to the setting.
