Pregnant teen shot during 'brake-checking' road rage incident dies after baby is saved
Story by Jamie Frevele • 15h

A Louisiana teenager who was 27 weeks pregnant when she was shot during a road rage incident has died, resulting in a murder charge for the alleged shooter.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office announced in a press release that 17-year-old Katelynn Strate, who was shot during an altercation with 54-year-old Barry West, succumbed to her injuries on Aug. 26.
 
Strate was 27 weeks pregnant when she was allegedly shot by West while sitting in the front passenger seat of a Ford Expedition carrying two other people on Aug. 24.

Police said West fired at the Ford from his Dodge truck after the two vehicles "were tailgating and brake-checking each other."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

There is an element of 'play stupid games...' in this, but what an avoidable and tragic outcome.

WTF is wrong with people?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
