1 - 139: Rage Nation

We will shine a spotlight on the gripping stories of individuals caught in the crossfire of anger-fueled situations that have left lasting scars on their lives and delve into the minds of individuals who staunchly believe that their anger is a justified response to perceived injustices and frustrations. Tonight, compelling stories of anger that have led to death threats, CPS threats, and losing jobs. A bakery owner dealing with demanding, unruly customers, a bus driver of 15 years dealing with students who won't follow the rules and record her curse-filled rant, a woman trying to cope with uncontrollable anger after having a child. But what happens when that "rage" gets behind the wheel? That's when things can turn deadly. Data from 2022 revealed that a person was SHOT and either injured or KILLED in a road rage incident every 16 hours! We'll meet two families all too familiar with that statistic who saw their lives forever changed when rage took aim on Texas interstates.
