I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. - Charlie 'I got shot in the neck" Kirk
I mean, his death shows us the upside.
I don’t get it. Like, I get that you’re being glib and possibly ironic, but I don’t get what you are trying to say, other than you are happy charlie got murdered in front of children. Whether I assume you are for or against gun proliferation, your comment is still self-contradicting, just in a different way. Maybe if it was supposed to be a joke you should have spent some more effort on it. Right now you’re just telling us you’re a broken person.
Charlie Kirk got what he deserved.
Have you ever heard Charlie Kirk speak? I’m tired of Conservatives coming in here and trying to rewrite history. I don’t condone political violence but why are we acting so shocked the he got shot? The vile things he would say regularity, he is no patriot…
I heard charlie kirk used to fist his own ass
Okay, as I understood, this sub is dedicated to car accidents. But this particular one is more like a shooting accident with involved cars. I mean, cars weren’t the reason of child’s death. Or does this still count?
Absolutely. Do you hear about road rage between bicyclists? Driving a car turns normal people into monsters.
Do you not ride a bike on the street? After about 2 minutes of dealing with motorist, I am so full of fear and adrenaline, I’m ready to throw hands at an elderly woman.
I’m willing to bet it’s just that more people drive than cycle here. People are violent. People fight in public transit, people fight in the street. I’m sure you could find instances of bicycle rage but it’s not reported on like road rage.
I’m convinced that something unique about being enclosed in a car makes it worse. The depersonalization of interacting with other objects instead of other people since you can’t really see the drivers inside all that well. The defensiveness that comes with the fact that a car is not only one of the most expensive things but also that the interior feels like an extension of your private space even though you’re in public. The feeling of power that comes from operating dangerous heavy machinery, and worry that others are doing so too but getting it wrong and endangering you, etc.
Maybe. I can see that playing a small part, but I still think it’s just people doing what they do best, being selfish assholes

I think if there were more cyclists that bike rage could be a thing too. You touched on it in your reply. It’s the endangerment. The threat to self and property.
Definitely with cars, the property and safety issues are magnified, so I think that all things being equal, if we magically had bikes as primary transport you’d still see road rage, but less than with cars.
Compare this community to the ban pitbulls community and tell me there’s a difference
That’s maybe one of the three factors I mentioned, and even then cyclist-cyclist collisions are much less common or severe than automobile-automobile ones. There’s a reason even the busiest bike path intersections don’t have fancy safety devices like traffic lights, after all: they don’t need them.
Well, let’s get rid of the cars and find out!
It’s the fact that people can be cowards in the privacy of their car. Think about all the road rage you see in grocery store aisles. Exactly.
This community is related to basically anything negative regarding cars. As such road rage is very much qualified, as it’s a very much car-induced problem, both directly (as in people in cars are implicated) and more indirectly (as in car-first infrastructure is bad for everybody involved, including cars, and pushes for this sort of things to keep happening)
