Road rage horror

[Shane]

Just tried to compose myself for a rant. No real structure to this - I'm still stunned.

 

An old acquaintance (from my cycle club days) was stabbed to death two evenings ago following a small collision (in his car not on his bike) in Worthing. He was in his 70s and really laid back guy.

 

What kind of person gets out and knifes someone?

Why was he carrying a knife anyway?

Madness! Utter madness!

 

When people bump into each other in the street they just laugh and apologise.

Why on earth do people react so viciously when they are in their tin box?

 

Good job guns are so hard to get hold of over here.

 

God rest yer soul, Don - goodbye.

I was shocked to hear it also . I know Findon village . I used to go to Cissbury Leathers years ago . The old boy seemed like a real nice character . I can only imagine the nut case was on drugs .

That is terrible! Sorry to hear. Some crazy people out there that make life changeing decisions in a moment without thinking.

[Steve Bullman]

Sorry to hear he was a friend. I read about this yesterday. Wonder if there was more to the story? Unbelievable that someone would do something like that for such little reason

Utterly shocking and sad story. Some people out there must be carrying around a huge amount of latent anger in them - add instability to the mix and here is the result. Really sorry to hear this.

As said , who drives about with a knife in their car and what kind of nutter would actually use it .

Really sad story .

Totally agree, Rob. There are a lot of very angry, confrontational people out there and driving seems to heighten the aggression for some reason.

Just read this in the headlines.

 

What the hell is the World coming to?

 

RIP Don.

My Father and I both knew Don from cycling 'Audax' events in and around Sussex.

The culprit has destroyed a family and in doing so has destroyed his own.

I hope he wakes up every night in his tiny cell with this on his mind.

Carrying a knife should be no lesser crime than carrying a gun
