    It wouldn't surprise me the least if the murderer yelled "go back to your country" while gunning down the poor soul. But no one will call this terrorism... and before you jump the gun (pun intended) I am South American so I know what I am talking about.

    Chicagoland 4 pm on a Friday, I'm guessing road rage.

    RIP driver.

    Hate crime? Racism?

    God grief man....why even go that route? Sounds like silly lib drivel.

    Road rage would be my first thought as most everyone....

    That's my assumption without any other details. Truck driver might have made an innocent mistake to one degree or another. The other vehicle occupant(s) took it very personal and it instantly escalated.

    But today with our screwed up society that largely has no moral center and/or harbors extreme hatred for other "groups", who knows?

    Or, this may also be the beginning of a mass-murder spree by a sociopathic killer who thinks truck drivers are the problem with the world. But I hope not. Either way, I hope somehow the individual is brought to justice.

    Out of curiosity, checked DML Logistics website; it's simple and not much on there. His company is out of Miami.

    He was from Florida, probably of Cuban descent and likely did not look Mexican.
