I was in the 993 one day and had just pulled out of a parking lot onto a service or frontage road to turn onto the hwy. At the red light by the hwy. onramp, I heard some guy yelling and there was nowhere for pedestrians to be nearby. I couldn't have been his target, as there were no cars around between where I pulled out of the lot and up to the red light. But I watched a nut running up from his car to yell at the guy next to me. The guy had a real death wish, but it didn't go beyond that and the victim pulled away as soon as the light turned.

In a fatal road rage incident a few yrs ago the good guy was boxed in at a red light when his attacker got out and walked up to his door with gun in hand. Good guy was a soldier just back from the sandbox and shot the bad guy multiple times, even knocked some teeth out with his rounds. Bad guy turned out to be a retired sheriff's deputy, who knew very well he was starting a gunfight. And plenty of folks who knew him said they weren't surprised to learn how he died.
