Re: A look into road rage
The economy is driving (no pun intended) people over the edge. A guy in the Friendswood/League City area off-ed himself the other day with a handgun in his house. His wife was pregnant (about 5 months I believe) and he had lost his job. Some people look for a way out and only hurt themselves...others want to take as many with them as possible. Terribly sad.

Re: A look into road rage
So basically, it can only be a hate crime if you perpetrate your road rage against a Hyundai, Suzuki, BMW, etc. If its a Ford or Chevy you don't have to worry about the extra hate crime penalty 
Honestly though, stories like this worry me. Living and driving around Houston we've all "accidentally" cut someone off or tailgated or gesticulated the ire of our fellow drivers at one time or another. I remember reading a story a few years back (as I recall it was used as an argument against carrying firearms) where a man angry at another driver on I-45 started shooting through his passenger window at the offending driver. Unfortunately, his wife was sitting in the passenger seat and he was emptying his gun right in front of her face. Fortunately, I don't think anyone was hurt; other than the wife who had a ruptured eardrum.
