    It’s stressful how mad everyone in Texas is too. Especially while driving. If they’re delayed 5 seconds, it’s grounds for a shouting and slurs. If they’re delayed 1 minute or more, a gun comes out. Everyone here needs to go as fast as possible while visibly armed.

    I was fixing my bike on the sidewalk in a suburb about a year ago and two guys with guns came out to threaten me, told me I was acting suspicious. I have a feeling if I weren’t white I’d have been shot. I’ve also had drivers in big trucks tap me from behind while biking.

    My cousin once shot at a lost driver who was simply using his driveway to turn around. He carries an actual SMG to meet UPS at the door too. Everyone’s paranoid that a civil war will erupt at any moment. Pure narcissistic lily white panic.
