Guys like this will find something to rage at others about. There will always be some limiting resource that becomes a source of conflict.

In a non-car society, it could have been the last of a product on the shelf, or the last spot on the bike rack.

Except I think that cars actually make people of different physicalities more equal.

Let's be real - he got pissed because someone smaller and weaker than him bested him over some territory he wanted. In a non-car situation, he would have just stollen what he wanted or pushed her out of the way.

In this case, the car and gun both acted as equalizers, allowing her to protect herself and her kids despite the greater physicality of others around her.
