Violent crime has spiked about 60% in the DFW area since 2019, including my immediate neighborhood.
Traffic fatalities have increased at least that much due to negligent, reckless and hostile driving, and that doesn't include the road rage shootings.
Poking a grumpy critter in this climate is about as stupid as it gets.
I've always wondered why it is that the road-rage nutters never meet up with each other. Certainly statistically, they would have to at least sometimes? (Or is it that they do, and one's just faster on the draw and so the other plays innocent after the fact?)
