Man Accused of Assault With a Live Power Line
Wednesday, Aug 31, 2011  |  Updated 7:17 PM EDT

A D.C. lawyer is facing assault charges after he allegedly threatened another man with live power wires.

While danger from Mother Nature’s fury was blowing away from the region Sunday, police said a man-made act of road rage took place in Silver Spring, Md.

A College Park man was accused of attacking a motorist with a live power line knocked down by Hurricane Irene.  According to authorities, on Sunday a 32-year-old Richard Bialczak tailed a man with his car and then got out and attacked him.

Derek Edwards, 28, was driving home from work when Bialczak's car came up closely behind him.  Edwards said he tried to get away from Bialczak, but the suspect matched him turn for turn, until they reached a downed power line, still charged with electricity, which had been blown into the road by the poweful storm.

Police said Edwards got out of his vehicle to warn Bialczak in the car behind him of the danger.  When he did, authorities allege the College Park man got out of his car and threatened the victim, who quickly retreated back into his car.  Bialczak was heavily intoxicated, according to investigators.

Bialczak will probably defend himself...

This story is electrifying....not to mention shocking too.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

It was a brownout, he was still able to walk. Blackout/brownout, both RACIST.

I seem to remember the saying (about the OP), "A lawyer who defends himself has a fool for a client."
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor
