She says 40-year-old Gary Lynn Durham stopped his pickup truck, got out and approached the motorist behind him. An argument escalated between the two.

Investigators say the car's driver, 42-year-old Robert Padgett, warned Durham before he pulled out a gun and shot him. What exactly happened remains unclear, but investigators are calling it a road rage death, according to the Tampa Bay Times.


Obviously some people just don't know when to carry on and forget about it. You never know who is packing heat these days
You know who was packing heat? The RIGHT GUY!

Score one for gun rights.

There should never be any "after prison". When a crime is so severe that it justifies a prison sentence, that prison sentence should be for life. Prison is crime university. It's where criminals go to become hardened professional criminals. When we release them, we're proving to the world how stupid we are.

Anyways, unfortunate that the guy from the news link never learned his lesson even after 10 years in prison. Some might even say it was karma.

Relax, people.

Take a deep breath.

All of this road rage is beyond silly.

Apparently that douche bag never learned his lesson. I guess many people don't change.
Recently a minivan driver changed lanes without looking and almost hit my car, and immediately followed another minivan too closely and got in front of it and almost called a multi-car accident.

And, crazies like these are exactly why I choose to not be confrontational when out and about. Unless its a matter of self defense, I tend to avoid and remain calm as I don't know what crazy I'm dealing with on that particular day.
