A Florida Road Rage Incident

A fascinating story.

Blake Gracie made an obscene gesture after the school bus cut him off Monday morning. The bus driver returned the gesture and Gracie jumped out of his jeep and grabbed a rifle. He pointed the gun at the bus driver, who remained in the bus.

One student was also in the back of the bus.

Gracie got back in his car and sped off.

The student and bus driver were not injured.

The bus driver gave deputies a partial license plate number. They tracked it to 18-year-old Gracie and arrested him at home, charging him with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.
How do you think they determined it was "without intent to kill?" That sounds like the kind of thing that can be plea-bargained right down to a misdemeanor and when this hot head turns 21 he can join the ranks of legitimate gun owners who carry guns everywhere they go.

What do you think? Would he have been charged like that in New York City, do you think?
