“A
19-year-old French youth who was shot in the head after a banal road dispute
over right-of-way was pronounced dead in hospital on Wednesday. A suspect has
now been charged with his murder…The 19-year-old youth was left fighting for
his life after being gunned down on Sunday night near the town of Giffaumont in
north-eastern France.”
Wow!
They have road rage shootings in France! This makes America not look so bad…
Except
that this report was from 2013. This was the only case of French road rage I could find by
searching online.
Meanwhile,
I was searching online for more information about a road rage shooting in
Dallas about which one of my botany majors had told me. A friend of her husband
had cut in front of another driver in an ill-advised attempt to take an exit.
The driver who got cut off followed him around through Dallas until pulling up
next to him at a stoplight. The road rage driver then took out a gun and shot
holes in the side of the first man’s car. My student confirmed that this
incident went unreported. The only road rage incidents that were reported were
those that involved bloodshed, including murder, about five of them in Dallas
just in the second half of 2017.
And
you wonder why the Europeans think we are crazy? Is this what a “Christian
country” is supposed to look like?
