There were a couple ex NFL guys who were killed in New Orleans a few years ago over "self defense" in road rage incidents one of which if I remember correct, Will Smith, was said to have had a gun but did not. If Childs was waiving a gun then he is done but I'll let the legal system play out in this one and hope he has a speedy recovery.

Also jiminez is known to the police while childs arrest record is clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might not be the best analogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If non aggressive people shot people over traffic incidents we'd be burying half of Florida in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
