I am sure this type of story has been discussed a hundred times but, I wanted to share this. Everyone please think, think, think!
Yesterday, here in Oklahoma, two guys got into a "pissing" contest, in their cars, on the turnpike between Lawton, Oklahoma and Oklahoma City. Well, the drive is about an hour. Who knows where the "highway disagreement" began but from what I gathered they were doing the usual, giving the "finger", throwing trash out the window at each other, yelling, etc. Two cars, car 1 had one guy in it, car 2 had a group of guys. No these were not your usual BGs, none of them have any kind of record, they are 30-something years old, guys with jobs, families, etc.
Well upon arriving in OKC, one car began to follow the other. So the first driver pulls into a "quick mart". Jumps out of his car and starts yelling at the second driver. Well, the second driver, rather than staying in his car and better yet driving off. He gets out with his pistol and shoots the guy. Died, 1 shot, in the parking lot. Terrible tragedy! Just like that in under 2 seconds, his life (shooter) is almost as over as the man he shot. Murder I. . .he gets life. . .or lethal injection! Over what, getting cut off on the highway, following to close, or maybe the unthinkable. . .not getting out of the way quick enough!
Guys it isn't worth it. Don't loose your temper over the little things. Be cool and use your head. Thanks for letting me vent on this.
