Few days ago there was also an incident in California where the driver of a Civic got angry that a SUV's windshield cleaning fluid sprayed on his car, and ended up chasing and shooting at the SUV (even though the driver of the SUV apologized for it).
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.
Fifteen years ago, Gary Lynn Durham killed a man after arguing in traffic. For that, he did 10 years in prison.
On Wednesday morning, Durham got into another rush-hour fight. This time, Hillsborough sheriff's deputies said, the other driver killed him.
It happened before sunrise on a rural stretch of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, east of Forbes Road in Plant City.
Durham, 40, stopped his black Mazda pickup in the middle of the eastbound lane, deputies said. He got out and walked toward Robert Padgett, who had stopped behind the truck in a Ford sport utility vehicle.
Exactly why the men stopped is unclear. But sheriff's officials called what happened next "the end result of a road rage incident."
As the men argued, Padgett, 42, pulled a handgun, deputies said. He shot Durham at least once.
As the man lay in the road, Padgett tried to administer first-aid, authorities said. When deputies arrived, Durham was dead.

The roads are safer than ever. The violent crime rate is a fraction of what it was ten year ago, even a smaller fraction of what it was twenty years ago, and a smaller fraction still over thirty years ago.
There is data to back this up. It's not an opinion - its fact.
You just hear about it now because of the 24/7 news cycle and social media.

Don't know where you're getting your facts but if you google - there's an entirely different opinion.
This is actually a example of the benefits of conceal carry. Knowing what we know of this guy it's safe to say he was in fact a threat to the shooter. As a result one less dangerous hot head in the world.
I can't believe the guy only got ten years for killing a person ( intentionally ) the first time. No wonder fate had to step in.
People get more time than that for armed robbery with no injuries.
