Or the Southern California freeways. It seems like there's a couple of
freeway shootings a week lately.

One kind of interesting one was where the "victim" survived. They let
slip that he had cut across three lanes of traffic just before the
shooter shot one of his tires. They interviewed the kid. His name
was "Kyle", and he had a shaved head. And apparently didn't see
anything wrong with cutting across three lanes of freeway traffic
because you've forgotten that your exit is near.

Those are the kind that _need_ shooting, AFAIC.

Cheers!
