    At his arraignment this morning, the prosecution noted that the incident was “believed to be a road rage incident” and that during that incident Wheeler allegedly “flashed a gun” at the other party.

    I can’t say I’ve never yelled at another asshole driver before, but I could never imagine pulling a gun on somebody for something so fucking stupid. What an idiot.
