I was going to write about something else this morning, really. But I saw this headline about a double road-rage shooting. Two men in a town in Kansas, driving in two cars, each with passengers. One made a demeaning comment to other about the sound of the exhaust from his car.

After a few minutes of exchanging barbs at stoplights, they both drive to a local strip mall. They get out of their cars, still exchanging words, and they shoot each other, fatally.

This story was reported by Channel 13 — WIBW in Lawrence, Kansas. As reported:

“This is still a tragic event that happened and one that was very preventable,” said [Police] Chief Lockhart. “This is probably the most ridiculous thing that I’ve ever heard of for people to be killed over is the pipes on your car.”

Seriously. Two men exchanging harsh words about the sound of the exhaust of one’s car can lead to a fatal shooting. Two of them.
