The Rages of Sin

Like a lot of things these days, road rage just ain’t what it used to be. A man on a freeway in Florida cut off a woman while changing lanes so she shrugged her shoulders as if to say WTF? That was his cue, of course, to start chasing her and her carload of kids. Chased her, then pulled out a gun and pointed it at her kids. She dodged him. So he grabbed an assault rifle, a perfectly logical response to the situation, but before he could mow down anybody, he shot himself in the leg and crashed his car. I believe what this calls for, to prevent further injuries like this, is the installation of assault rifles on the hoods of cars in Florida. Road ragers are people too and have the right to not shoot off their legs when pursuing mommies and kiddies with murder in their heart. It’s in the Constitution.
