I don't see any road rage - just a man putting down a dangerous animal.

#7 JaDeadrek practiced poor victim selection. He just didn't realize that some people legally own guns and know how to shoot.

Oh do not 'black out' in Texas.
We have heart but quick finger flexors.
And if you should point so much as a joint,
make sure your're not public vexers.
