Two mothers’ text message argument over a schoolbus fight between their daughters escalated into a Wild West-style duel and only one woman walked away alive.
Deadly duel: Judith Kowaleski is charged with murdering Elizabeth Slagle in a deadly duel that stemmed from a school bus argument between the women's daughters
Judith Kowaleski, 42, told police a fight began between herself and Elizabeth Slagle on Thursday evening.
Kowaleski said it stemmed from an earlier argument that occurred between the two women’s daughters as they rode the bus home from school.
WVVA reports that text messages and phone calls between Kowaleski, Slagle, and Kowaleski’s aunt identified as Barbra Harrington.
At one point, according to the police report, Kowaleski gave the phone to Harrington, who continued the exchange with Slagle.
Though police are still awaiting a warrant in order to read the messages, something was said that took the argument to a far more dangerous level.
Harrington suddenly told Kowaleski she was to meet Slagle at a designated point somewhere between their Bluefield, West Virginia homes.
She also told Kowaleski to arm herself.
She did as she was told and grabbed a handgun.

You've come a long way baby?
A duel between men,from the OK Corral back to Camelot,was looked on as something chivalrous,righteous and even virtuous.Women were totally left out of this paradigm except as innocent bystanders or,perhaps,as the cause of it all.
In a Libertarian society,should voluntary duels be legal to settle disputes?They once were,for centuries,but only between men and they followed a strict code Duello.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_duello
Should they be legal now,please note the word VOLUNTARY,And should they include both(all?)sexes.
