    The last few years I have been saying there is a lot more anger on the roads.

    Hmmm. Interesting that the race of the involved parties was not mentioned like it usually is.

    I haven’t noticed a lot of mention of race in stories about such things, but why waste words when they printed a picture of the guy?

    Lawlessness is being encouraged by some politicians. It won't get better anytime soon. Choose your representatives carefully.

    And this #### right here is why mr smith and mr wesson ride shotgun with .44 ways to protect me. People are being encouraged to be more violent and police are getting more and more scarce with the whole defund the police crap going on. Less cops and everyone being encouraged to hate each other leads to #### like this becomeing the norm NOT the exception. And its only going to get worse.

    And we drivers are a particular target. Slow moving, usually assumed to be far alt right regardless of our actual politics, always carrying valuable cargo, that lingering rumor that we drivers have a ton of money and usually in remote areas.

    I liked the pre-smartphones days when left lane occupants knew they had a few seconds to use the left lane and move right or they would be shot. Now everyone is a VIP in the VIP lane watching videos for hundreds and hundreds of miles.

    You see the clip in that gun? It's bigger than he is.

    I hope he's not shooting at another black person, cause black lives matter.

    Magazine not clip. There is a huge diffrence, also that gun looks like an uzi or semi auto uzi varient. So a pretty #### expensive either way legally speaking. You cant get an uzi for under $1000 and usually around $2500+ with pre ban autos in the 4500-10500 range depending on condition. However they are quite easy to make from parts kits as well or even from scratch hence why they are so common on the less legal front. About as hard as an AK speaking from experince.
