Dentist Arrested In Road Rage Incident
Incident began after Dr. Lona Bibbs, driving an Escalade, brake checked a red car. All three cars exited the interstate. The female passenger of the Avenger and Dr. Bibbs exchanged words at an intersection. Then things got crazy fast.

Ah the Christmas season . . . Anyone remember when Christmas brought out the best in people, and not this kind of crazy shenanigans?

Classic case of people allowing their emotions to completely drive their course of events. Even when they CAN SEE, that their emotional screwups are going to have potentially disastrous consequences, they still refuse to acknowledge the gravity of the situation and find an escape ramp before the tires go POP.
It seems like had just ONE person possessed a cooler head, things could have been sorted out without having to blow over into the shooty category. Is there any additional updates on the husband of the victim who had fired the shots that struck Walker? Would this go down as legitimate self defense? (Walker drew his gun first) And did the other guy get his gun back? This is going to be interesting. |

Update:
The altercation was witnessed by an off duty deputy who broke up the fight between the females. The shooter has not been charged. The lawyer claims Walker never drew his gun. https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law/...rLOlj5fj3h3BK/ Last edited by thallub; December 8, 2018 at 07:26 AM. |

Walker is guilty of more than a few serious infractions here: Intimidation and felony assault with a deadly weapon. Brandishing. Harassment. He produced the handgun when there was NO necessity for lethal force. It was a fistfight between two female combatants where no weapons had been present, until Walker "intervened" and now turned it into a dire situation. Maxwell can legally say that, by Walker drawing his firearm in an obviously threatening manner, he was legitimately in fear for his life. There is still a possibility that someone will try to charge Maxwell somewhere down the line and this is going to turn into another long court battle. |

Not sure where i got the name Maxwell from. Apparently the names of the couple have not been released. It's an error on my part.
IMO: The dentist's irrational actions trashed her practice. |

It's hard to know for sure what happened at the scene of the shooting and who is at fault. But for the dentist to go fetch her armed husband and returning to the scene to seek out further confrontation? Stupid, irresponsible, and criminal. In my opinion, this is where the majority of blame should rest.

Sounds like this Walker fella found out real quick he's not the only one carrying a pistol, and more importantly he knew how to use it on this Walker!

As a pretty pro-2nd guy, there are clearly people who self identify that they should not be carrying a firearm. This might be one (or two) of them.
But considering the credibility of media reports, we need to wait for the investigation and verdict.

There were 30 witnesses to the altercation.
The account given by the dentists lawyer differs greatly from that of the police investigator, Herbert. The lawyer claims Walker is badly wounded and may lose his arm. The dentist and her hubby have not yet given statements to the police. https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/att...dent/884109038 |

Regardless of whether the dentist called her husband from her office or he was already there, the fact remains that they went hunting for the other couple, entrapped their car, and engaged in a confrontation that was entirely unnecessary. Apparently witnesses to the confrontation agree that the dentist's husband drew first, escalating a verbal disagreement into a gun fight -- which he lost. |

Bet it never sees a courtroom/jury..Bet the husband will get a plea deal so that he doesn't do any time..Good to see the dentist's practice has tanked..

Sounds like maybe the old saying applies. You can take the couple out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the couple.

Yes, if this does go to trial all they have to do is win over one member of the jury. I was once on jury duty for a DUI case which featured video of the guy driving drunk, video of him failing field sobriety test and medical records showing blood alcohol over the legal limit. However, when we had our fist round of voting a third of the jury voted not guilty. They guy had a great lawyer and he really muddied the water, but after reviewing the facts we did find the guy guilty.

well, dang, I am now in trouble. I am a dentist and I have a CC permit. But as for road rage, I live in a small town. When two cars meet at the same time at a 4 way stop sign usually both wave the other to go on first.
One reason I think I am not going to be one of the suicide statistics is that I do not read articles such as the one the OP linked to. We all have enough going on in our lives without spending time reading about other people's problems and stupid behavior. David |
