A 43-year-old man in Michigan was shot and killed on Tuesday in what sheriff’s officials said was a road rage incident that took place while the victim was en route to pick up his children from their first day of school, according to the Livingston Daily newspaper.
Derek Flemming, the victim, was driving with his wife in Genoa Township, Mich., when a pickup truck nearly hit their vehicle and then cut them off at a traffic light, the victim’s family attorney, William Moore, told the newspaper.
Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte said that, while at the light, Flemming got out of his car and approached the truck to ask what the driver’s problem was. Bezotte said witnesses of the incident reported that the driver of the truck rolled down his window and shot and killed Flemming.
Moore said the driver of the truck was 69-year-old Martin Edward Zale.

Thank you, NRA, for continuing to induce paranoid lunacy in the mentally unstable in this country.
Road rage will always be a factor in our stress-filled society. But, if everyone didn’t have a weapon ready to fire, maybe the outcome wouldn’t be fatal.
Will the NRA provide counseling for the traumatized gun?
Has the NRA been asked for comment on the incident yet?
Fuckin redneck teabagging murderer. I hope he dies a horribly painful death.
