Atlanta motorists Bobby Smith & Mikos Wright arrested and charged reckless conduct in road rage shooting incident on expressway during rush hour.

Bobby Smith

I try my hardest not to use profanity on my blog, but what Atlanta resident Mr. Bobby Smith is accused of doing doesn't put him in a positive light. In fact, he's a f**king a**hole. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, he was arrested for aggravated assault and reckless conduct Monday morning for allegedly firing several shots at another driver during an apparent case of rush hour road rage. The other driver, Mikos Wright, is also a f**king a**hole. He, too, was arrested and was charged with reckless conduct and reckless driving.

The incident happened around 8:30 a.m. on I-285 southbound near Langford Parkway, according to Atlanta police. Police spokeswoman Kim Jones said that Mikos Wright called 911 to report that a man in a silver Lexus fired several shots at his Dodge Ram pickup truck.

“Mr. Wright said that he heard a ‘pop’ and thought he had a flat tire,” the report stated. “Mr. Wright said he noticed the driver of the silver Lexus, later identified as Mr. Bobby Smith, was pointing a black handgun at him.” Wright told police that Smith, 55, then fired three shots into the passenger’s side door of his truck. “Wright said he then swerved his vehicle to the right and struck the silver Lexus,” the report stated.

Smith told investigators that Wright was driving aggressively and that he was in the right-hand travel lane and Wright was in the lane to his left when “the Dodge Ram began merging into his lane of travel,” forcing Smith into the emergency lane. Source: AJC

What's even more disgraceful is the fact that these two men, acting as though they were in the Wild West, tied up rush hour traffic for nearly two hours Monday morning. People have cut me off on the road and some have even driven too closely to me, but dang, I never thought to carry a gun in my car, much less pull it out and start firing!
