We know some people have a serious addiction to fast food, but a road rage beating in a Whataburger drive-through seems a little extreme. But it seems like people fly off the handle all over the place these days as entitlement runs high and little grace is extended towards others.
Road rager attacks teens in scary situation caught on video.
The incident in question happened recently in Houston as a tired ER nurse ended a long shift and decided to grab some food on her way home. She told KPRC she accidentally bumped into an SUV that was in line in front of her.
That’s when the woman in the other vehicle got out and the nurse rolled down her window to apologize. But the other driver decided to yell at the victim, then deliver a beating which left her literally bruised and battered.
It sounds like the collision was at such a low speed it probably left little to no damage on both cars. But it was enough to send the other woman spinning off in a violent tirade as she spewed profanity and in general acted unhinged.
Something has happened in society over the past however many years where if anyone does anything which offends you while you’re in your vehicle, you’re apparently entitled to inflict physical harm on that individual. We’re not sure where this came from or why it’s accepted by so many today, but it’s a disturbing proposition of might equals right.
Road rage has become far too common lately, a sentiment we know people all over the country share. Yet there’s a portion of the population which thinks it can deliver whatever beatings or other forms of retribution it so pleases without any consequence.
Something needs to change.
