Florida Dads Accused Of Shooting Each Other's Daughters In Road Rage Incident




https://www.huffpost.com/entry/frank-gilliard-allison-william-joseph-hale-florida-road-rage_n_6346dc4fe4b03e8038cf9410

Two Florida men are each facing attempted murder charges after they allegedly shot at each other’s daughters during a road rage incident Saturday night.

William Joseph Hale, 35, and Frank Gilliard Allison, 43, were both arrested after a “cat and mouse” high-speed chase on Highway 1 in Nassau County, Florida.

The two men began arguing with each other on the road while driving aggressively and brake checking each other, according to Jacksonville radio station WOKV.

Things got so tense, a witness told Nassau County Sheriff’s deputies that “he knew something bad was going to happen.”

“They were both speeding and driving recklessly northbound in Jacksonville and then into Nassau County on U.S. 1, brake checking and trying to cut each other off,” Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper told Newsweek. “They obviously didn’t like the way the other one was driving so they were both acting like idiots.”

Way to go daddies!

Stupid people.

I hope the children receive the help they will need.

might be a step in the right direction.

It's incomprehensible (to me, anyway) that the guy, realizing his kindergartner FFS had been shot, didn't immediately seek help for her, but instead went tear-assing after the other vehicle and opened fire on them. That five-year-old must have been shrieking in terror.

to him than his daughter's life.

The other father was no better, standing on the roadside arguing after his 14 year old was shot.

Those kids both need to be placed with a better family.

From your description, Mr. Hale and Mr. Allison weren't "acting" like idiots. I mean, I've heard of committing to the bit, but this doesn't seem to be an act.

This is the thing gun nuts don't get. You don't want guns around during confrontations, they only make things worse.

I don't carry a gun, you know why? Because I don't want to shoot someone.

The odds of something bad happening are much greater then the odds of me needing to use deadly force with a gun to protect my life or from severe bodily harm.

I try to be smiling all the time when driving and I wave a lot. To appear as non- confrontational as possible .

speeding up to catch up with the other vehicle to shoot into it! That's when the other's 14yo was hit.

Mind boggling. Both men have been bailed out of jail, no mention of where the mothers are in all this. I know where I'd be.
