4. Hubs and I drove to Cleveland, OH last week.

We spent about 18 hours total in Cleveland. During that short time, we saw three instances of mild road rage, and one of them happened to us.

My sympathy to the child's family.

5. These days, you have to assume every asshole driver has a gun.

As if traffic is not enough of a stress, you have to worry about being shot while driving.

6. Sounds like the Mother and Daughter got caught up in a rolling gun battle...

RIP! Little girl...

7. No. From the latest, the victim's car was deliberately shot at.

And the driver from the car that hit the victim's left in the other car, so those two weren't shooting at each other.

8. Kick for exposure!

I hope Houston P.D. catches the killers.

Too bad President Chump isn't targeting homicidal gang-bangers, instead of wasting our taxpayer money going after innocent, law-abiding, peaceful immigrants.

9. I hope they had a silencer

gun nuts need silencers, they say

12. Killing another person is okay,

but the delicate ears of the gun nuts must be protected while doing so.

10. Geez. Stuff like this never makes any sense when we ask why.

My heart goes out to the little girl's family.

11. Gunfuckers.

14. I saw a senerio like this in front of my old house in the South Valley in Albuquerque

Car A crashed into Car B at an intersection in front of my house. The innocent guy who was hit, got out of his car and was walking toward the car that hit him when the guy in Car A starting shooting at him. Luckily, the innocent man dodged the bullets.

15. Too fucking many gunz

in too many crazies hands is what I think

16. Can you imagine how terrifying that must have been for that poor child?

What is happening to us? Who would do that? Heart-breaking.
