Who said I couldn't today?
Do you want to get shot? The 90s were a simpler time.
I hear guns existed back in the Before Times too.
Yeah, but people are a lot more shooty now.
If you think that's true, I feel like you didn't live through the same 90s I did lol

Carjacking generally doesn't involve someone in one car stealing a second car.
This is the link you were looking for. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/03/20/road-rage-shootings-rising-us-report-finds/11484488002/

Rose tinted glasses, my dude. It also depends on the location. Most places I've lived have gotten A LOT safer in the past 3 decades.
Shootings still happen, though.
Well, shit.
Thanks for that info.
Someone doesn't remember how ridiculously violent the 90s were.
Violent crime is lower today than the 90’s.
