This was the last time my son considered himself as, “normal.” For on December 10, 2005, Darryl was a victim of road rage according to police records, and the lone star state.

According to my nephew, “they were driving to slow.” Once the driver was not successful at doing so, he decided to cut them off causing their vehicle to stop.
