    Sure it’s the driver. And the drivers need to be more aware of the weapon they are wielding.

    Simple example, i am crossing the street and a driver is making a turn. Instead of waiting behind the stop line until pedestrians finish crossing, they start turning their car slowly into the crosswalk just to save less than one second. Almost every driver does it, so you can picture it in your head.

    I consider this like someone pointing their weapon at me… I am directly in your crosshairs and your vehicle is inching toward me… Its impatient, aggressive, and totally unecessary.

      I mean…yes? What you’re saying isn’t wrong, it’s just completely misplaced in THIS conversation.

      We’re talking about a guy who strapped a bomb into his car, and committed an act of terror in a crowded building.

      That’s not a driver getting impatient, and not realizing what they’re doing. That’s someone who fully realizes what they’re doing, and what they’re doing is intentionally committing an act of mass murder.

      What you’re saying isn’t wrong, but it’s completely irrelevant to THIS conversation.

        It speaks to the creeping, unconscious normalization of vehicular violence and aggression that is culturally accepted.
