an Austin woman is recovering from injuries she says were caused by a man punching her in the face during a road rage incident... A counselor who specializes in anger management told CBS Austin that people have a lot more on their plate this time of the year which can lead to anxiety and chaos on the road... “He cut us off and I gave him a honk. That's all I did and he flipped us off,” Amanda said. It didn't stop there. Amanda said the man got out of his car and kicked hers. She drove to a nearby parking lot and turned her car off, but he followed her there... He said I don't care if you're a man or a woman and he punched me in the face,”

There was another road rage just west of Austin night before last where a guy rammed a family off the road and shot at them. Thankfully a cop was passing and stopped. The guy shot at the cop and the cop returned fire hitting him twice. They haven't released any further details in this other case.

Y'all be careful out there. Anything will set these freaks off.

Another liberal snapping a spring. They get frustrated this time of year, because people say “Christmas” instead of “Marxmas”.

Even on wide open Tx roads people get aggressive and want to drive in packs, challenging each other.

I speed up they speed up, I slow down they slow down.

Get a CHL and avoid packs and mobs

Merry Christmas yall!

No photo or description of the suspect so I guess we can safely assume he is black or Muslim or both. If he were white CBS would be announcing his race every other word.

Malls.....oh my gosh, ,there’s a “dirty word”.

I’m doing mostly gift cards for people on my Christmas list, so I get to avoid shopping malls.

People who outburst in public like these need to be cut down like the useless weed in society that they are. Cut down.

Yes idiots do come in all colors.

But it’s good to point out, that the media softpedal or downplay any racial/ethnic angle to certain incidents, and emphasize it in other cases.

For example, when Muslim terrorists shout “Allah Akbar” as they perpetrate an atrocity, our crack media can never quite figure out what the motivation for the atrocity was.

But when a demented white man shoots people in a black church, the media immediately attribute it to racism.

Black youth causing mayhem in malls or on public transportation or in Chuck E. Cheese, are never identified by race.

I am against more laws but you are correct.
Iphones are a HUGE problem not just on the road, but in society in general.

We already have law against reckless driving and negligence.

I know how hard this is, believe me, but the way to handle this kind of situation is with humility, grace and love.

He said I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman and he punched me in the face,”

...

At least he can claim to be a feminist.

You won’t see me at the mall or anywhere around that hell hole of Austin. If it’s not goodies from the kitchen or an act of kindness, no one on my list is getting anything.

Horns are for avoiding accidents, not registering one's displeasure with another's driving or giving an impromptu etiquette lesson.

When in public, I frequently remind myself that I may be about to cross paths with someone who has just decided he doesn't give a damn anymore.
