end if they perceive or see anything negative about their beliefs, especially right in their faces. Isn't it amazing that they used freedom of speech to suppress anyone's else contrary views.

Fortunately there are getting to be more cameras around, everywhere, in parking lots, cars themselves, people's cell phones, etc. so more and more of this idiotic behavior is captured for tracking down assailants and evidence. Another great thing to do, is install the heck out of cameras in your homes, vehicles, etc., if anything, to protect ourselves.

More so, as you say, w/ all of the road rage stuff going on, it's better to be defensive, not flip off drivers who cut you off, etc., for you really, truly don't know how they are going to react. When my spouse and I are driving on the highway w/ multiple lanes, going both directions, we always drive a little more slower (speed limit) to let the other drivers go racing by in the passing lane (you can go the speed limit or 50 mph faster, there is always, always going to be a driver that will be pissed off that you are not going fast enough, e.g., you can't go fast enough.)

Also, I am making a general statement here, but people that are prone to road rage/politics rage tend to over-react to just about anyone too, so eventually, they are going to run into the wrong person and get killed / injured, or get caught by law enforcement, deserving so.
