1. "Violence" is trendy. Words are violence, silence is violence, so some people start looking for other things that might be called violence.

2. Possibly the psychological need to overcome adversity. Someone living in a nice neighborhood, threatened neither by gangs nor by rogue cops, seeks surrogate problems to conquer. In a few weird cases, it turns out like this and Twitter will amplify it, because Twitter loves (even hostile) attention and engagament.

Well traffic violence is actually appropriate, or at least more so than what you mention, as anyone who has been involved in or witnessed a traffic accident can attest.

This is a foolish statement.

The outcome of the overwhelming majority of traffic accident was 100% property damage and 0% violence.

Car on car and car on object fender benders where nobody is hurt outnumber accidents with injuries by an order of magnitude.
