About this listen

Episode two investigates why driving transforms ordinary people into territorial predators and why road rage homicides have surged forty-seven percent in recent years. Featured cases include NFL player Joe McKnight, shot after apologizing for a traffic conflict, and Tammy Meyers, killed after accidentally cutting someone off. Raven Thorne explains how cars become ego extensions, triggering ancient dominance behaviors when violated. The episode examines masculinity's role in escalation, how anonymity and invincibility illusions embolden aggression, post-pandemic stress increases, firearm prevalence in vehicles, and why traffic psychologists say reasoning fails during active road rage. The terrifying reality: any commute could become deadly.
