Tewksbury Man Stabbed During Road Rage Fight, Victim Takes it All in Stride.



TEWKSBURY (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A road rage incident that started in Wilmington and ended in Tewksbury left a man with multiple stab wounds on Wednesday afternoon...The victim, identified as Dennis Keohane, of Tewksbury, said he was driving down 93 with his boss when the car just came up behind them. He said he tapped his brakes a couple of times and that is what set the Honda off. The suspect then followed Keohane off the highway for three miles to Industrial Drive, off East Street, in Tewksbury, where the victim works. Keohane dropped his boss off and when he left work, he saw the Honda waiting for him on the access road. “We had a few words and, to be honest, I thought he was kind of punching me," said Keohane. "I didn’t know he had a blade in his hand. I didn’t know I was stabbed until I got back to my shop and I felt blood trickling down my neck.”

 This guy was just living the dream as far as Road Ragers go.  Do you know how often I've dreamed of just annihilating the people I share the road with?  Courteous driving my ass.  It should be every man for himself and woman aren't allowed.  Yep, I said it.  I've legit day dreamed and zoned out in particularly frustrating traffic situations to the point that I've spent 30 minutes fascinating about what it would be like if the roads and cars were like a bumper car arena and anything goes (I would just pin motherfuckers against the guard rails and slam it in reverse and then drive over and over and over again).  I snap out of it like 20 miles down the road, way past wherever I had set out to go.  

So yea, it might be morally reprehensible to celebrate this guy stabbing the shit out of some random that upset him on the highway, but I think we can all admit we've dreamed of that day as well.  Plus, nothing is more frigen annoying than the guy going too slow in the fast lane that decides to tap his brakes at you when you get too close.

Well, nothing except that asshole that decides to ram his grill right up my ass while I'm already doing 20 mph over the speed limit.  I totally tap my brakes at those jerks. 

PS: How about Cool Hand Luke the victim here. Watch the video, the guy acts like it was no big deal. "Yea I thought we were just in a fist fight, didn't even realize he stabbed me, just rubbed some dirt on it and went home." WTF? How often does this guy get in fights on the side of the road?
