Just a few articles as food for thought. I'm not real happy with me being painted as a country bumkin, peace sign sucking, flower child, but hey thats the nature of the beast in an anonymous internet. Either way, I'm pretty adament in my stance that what dumpstervegan did was *not* justified regardless of where he lived and commutes - and if you knew me you'd know it takes a lot to say that. Read on I'm sure your rage will grow. Mine did.
To me Cars are weapons, I dont ***u with people with guns, I don't u*** with people with cars. I still get mad, I still behave badly, but I feel pretty stupid and bad afterwards. and temper my reactions accordingly
It's a slow day, good for the soul - I wish I was arguing with another group besides my own tribe, oh well.
I love this one... I bet the cyclist was TOTALY JUSTIFIED! in what he did to the big bad SUV - 'course he's still dead, died a miserable death, but hey the driver got his too. 2 lives lost that day.

A bullet in the chest, wasnt worth the arguement if you ask me - I'll fight for something I am willing to throw my future and my wife and 2 kids future away on, the right of way on a road IS NOT one of those things

It took me exactely 17 minutes today to research this and another 20 to compise posts. 37 minutes to re-enforce fighting a car or truck on thier terms is a losing battle.
