Another Example Of Why You Should Not Road Rage

A stupid road rage incident caught on camera injured
an elderly man who was not involved in the road rage
The video in this post was captured on a California freeway recently.

In it, we see a motorcyclist and a car going at it. The motorcyclist kicks the car, which then intentionally swerves into the motorcycle.

The motorcyclist somehow stays upright, but the car goes out of control, swerves across some lanes of traffic and collides with a pickup truck, overturning it.

The occupant of the pickup truck was injured, and of course that person was the only innocent party in that collision.

The motorcyclist took off, and has not been found yet, though police are looking for him. The driver of the sedan involved in causing the crash has not been charged yet, mostly because police want to talk to the motorcyclist first bfore deciding what to do.

Here's the video:

Terrible Road Rage Incident Video: Miraculously No Injuries

A YouTube video shows one of the most dangerous road rage incidents I have yet found online

Gawd, people calm down.
Kristian Rosa, in the car, tries to cut off the motorcyclist
filming the incident. A chase between the two
ensued, reaching speeds of over 100 mph.  

In it, Rone Gonzalez, 23 has a GoPro, or cell phone or some other video device on as he's driving his motorcycle around Homestead, Florida.

The  wild video recorded by Gonzalez is at the botom of this post. Worth a terrifying watch.

Something happened that annoyed an idiot named Kristian Rosa, 30, in a red car, to start trying to chase Gonzalez and cut him off and knock him off his bike.

Both guys really put a lot of motorists in grave danger. In a desperate attempt to get away from Rosa, Gonzalez goes top speed down a four lane road, in the wrong lane, nearly causing head on collisions with several vehicles.

He was right to try to get away, and I guess his hands were tied by Gonzalez swerving all over the road to try t run him down, but still.

Meanwhile Rosa persists for miles and miles. I don't know what got him so angry, but he really needs some help with anger management.

Gonzalez, the motorcyle driver was charged with misdemeanor reckless driving and Rosa, in the car, faces a felony aggravated assault charge and misdemeanor reckless driving.

Both guys later said they regret what they did, says local10.com, the ABC affiliate in the Miami area.  A little late now.

Gonzalez said he is an inexperienced rider and panicked when the chase started. "I will admit when I am wrong. All of this stuff wasn't on purpose but an attempt to get away.....I didn't choose to get on to oncoming traffic. He blocked my path in both lanes. I didn't want to harm myself or other people."

As for Rosa:

"I'm not proud of what I did....All I can say is that I learned a big lesson. A lot of things could have happened in that short time. It only takes a second for an accident to happen, yet we both took no consideration over our loved ones or the people around us at the time."

Remember that, kiddies, before you act on  your anger at other drivers, no matter how stupid they might be.

Try This If You Want To Combat Road Rage (Actually Don't, But Pretend)

Like many other people, I get frustrated by road ragers out on the highway.

Road rage: Don't get mad, get even, says The Onion.  
You want to exact revenge on these jerks, but the logical side of us know that just escalates the problem and makes things worse.

We can dream, though, can't we?

Leave to the satirical site, "The Onion" to give us a segment from what is supposedly a cheerful, hopelessly smarmy morning news show that instructs us on how to deal with road rage.

Remember! Don't get mad, get even! It also helps to become a really scary stalker. Watch and find out how!

Surely, Woman Now Becoming Hugely Embarrassed Over Her Viral Road Rage Rant

The now-famous Hawaii road rage lady
does her, um, performance.  
As road rage videos go, this one's a doozy.

A woman in Hawaii was rather perturbed that a pickup truck driver cut her off. (though the truck driver denies this)

To give her the benefit of the doubt, it is irritating to be cut off. But most people, when cut off in traffic, take a deep breath, stew for a few minutes and move on with their lives

Not this "lady". No sir. The guy in the pickup truck recorded her epic rant. It is a work to behold, though I'll warn you now, the language makes the video at the bottom of this post totally, totally NSFW.

"Fuck off, you fat ass," is one of the more polite things she says to the guy in the truck.

The guy in the truck spews out a few F-bombs, too, but at this point in the woman's rant, you can't blame him.

The woman in the video, identified as Kimberly Ong, also seems incredibly fascinated by pickup truck guy's physical appearance. I don't know what he looks like, but Kimberly uses the word "fatty" a lot.

The sad and scary thing about this video is the kid in the car. Before she proceeds with her F-bomb laden rant, she veers, screeches, brakes and swerves wildly, in an attempt to frighten the guy in the truck, I guess.

She complains that he almost caused a crash, and meanwhile she nearly causes several other crashes on the busy street.

With. Her. Kid. In. The. Car.

I'm sure the F-bombs are great for the kid, too. You get a glimpse of him and it really is the picture of misery.

According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, police have opened a felony investigation against Ong, because it looks like she hit Arakaki, or at least tried to. She certainly reached into his vehicle.

"Police have classified the case as first-degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, which is a Class B felony," says the Star-Advertiser. 

You'd think at this point, with the infamy of her making a fool of herself, and a possible felony hanging over her head, and a possible intervention by child protective services, Ong would be groveling with apologies.

But you'd be thinking incorrectly. She sort of regrets the language, but not much else about the incident, judging from a report on television station KITV.  

"I was super, super angry. I really was angry.....And of course he was taunting me somewhat. So, that obviously made me even more angry. I'm not the most happy about it. But I could have probably chose some better words to use. I was upset and it's apparent. I don't totally 100 percent regret it."

Kim, Kim, Kim. (Can I call you Kim? Just don't call me fatty.) So the only thing you regret, Kim,  is the F-bombs? And you don't totally regret it? Do you realize how much danger you put your kid in? What if the guy in the truck was even crazier than you, and had a gun, not just a camera phone?

And do you always get that mad when somebody does something slightly irritating? Kids do irritating things all the time. Do you go off on your kid like you did on the guy in the truck?  Maybe it's time for anger management therapy.

Now I'm glad I don't live in beautiful Hawaii.  I'd hate to tick off Kimberly Ong. She's got the rage heard round the world.

Here's the video. Again, it's NSFW. (Hat tip to Jalopnik for this story)

Instant Karma: Road Rager Gets What's Coming

When John Lennon released his song "Instant Karma" more than 40 years ago, he surely wasn't thinking about the yahoo you'll see in the video below.
Jeffrey White still looks angry in his
booking photo after becoming an
unwitting "star" in today's viral video  

But you do wish the song was playing on the car radio of the woman taking the video of what was going on along a Tampa, Florida highway.

She was on a highway, being tailgated by an angry man who thought she was driving too slowly.

True, she was in the left lane and could have been in the right lane, but she says in the notes she couldn't immediately cut over to the right because of traffic.

The guy gets impatient, finally blasts around her on the left. (Warning, middle finger alert from the angry yahoo at this point)

The guy looks so, SO angry at our woman who is taking the video. I bet he was even angrier at what happened next.

(Spoiler: Television station WTSP reports the mad guy, Jeffrey White, 33, of Tamp, was later charged with leaving the scene of an accident, careless driving and not wearing a seatbelt.

And if I had my druthers, I'd add the criminal charge of being incredibly dumb

I Didn't Think Diplomacy Involved Yelling "#&@(@!!!!!"

This guy might not have been the United States' best diplomat.

As you can see from the video in this post, the meeting on a narrow street in Malta did not go well.
Our Man in Malta fails at his peacekeeping skills.

His car met up with another, and one had to back up. Apparently, our Man in Malta didn't want to be the one to back down.

You can tell in this extremely NSFW video (because of language) when the U.S. diplomat says "I'm going to beat your fat fucking Maltese ass all over this goddam street!"

Well, then. Temper, temper. I can't imagine U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry talking like that to say, the British foreign minister.

Our Man in Malta is apparently not in Malta anymore. The U.S. government has recalled him and apologized for the undiplomatic diplomat. He has not been publicly identified. I'd still love to find him to detemine whether he things the argument was worth it.

It's a lesson to our former Man in Malta. The cameras are everywhere, and there's no sense in losing your temper.  Overreacting just a wee bit, were we?

Now that it appears you're losing your job with the U.S. diplomatic corp, you can maybe get a job on a cable news show. They behave like that all the time there. You'll fit right in.

Here's the video, if you dare:
