What is up with this?!  The local paper today (Gainesville, Florida) reports 
on some guy was arrested for brandishing a weapon in a road rage incident 
(charged with aggravated assault).  The guy he threatened, in turn *went home to 
get his gun.*  And was followed home by road rage #1.  The cops noted pointedly 
that the new 'wild west' law doesn't cover cases where you aren't directly 
threatened.  I'm staying on the poorer, quieter side of town where people can't 
afford that shit.
