Road rage:

Two men, aged 41 and 21, on a dark road at the edge of town over Memorial Day weekend. They didn’t know each other. Their lives intersected a single time, for minutes at most.

Road rage. Both pulled guns and shot each other. Now they are both dead.

What the fuck are we doing?

Other countries have sensible gun laws.

those on the left to move over. These are semi-divided or fully undivided boulevards for gawd's sakes and people turning left into residential areas HAVE to be in the left lane. Where I live some traffic cameras have helped, but I've been almost rear-ended just traveling the speed limit and coming to a stop at a RED LIGHT.

It isn't always males or even young males, either. But the worst certainly seem to be.
