SWAT just brought in a third armored vehicle.
Traffic must be backed up from Sacramento in one direction and Cabo San Lucas in the other by now!
Sky 9 reporting the suspect has....
Rolled Down the Window!!!!
Montel and the soaps interrupted and delayed? Oh, the horror of it all!
Have they said if the suspect is alone in the vehicle? (hope, hope.)
The believe the suspect is alone. The kidnapping took place in December. Victim was a woman.
All local channels have resumed regular programming. Local Fox airing I Love Lucy.
PING
Now why can't they install a scoop on those things ?
Pick'em up and haul him off the highway so people can go about their business....
They do have a battering ram on the front.
Thank goodness. Now where are my bon-bons and kool-aid?
Thanks for the ping...was at lunch...hearing something about a search warrant to tap his cell phone.

Also on CCN HL of course...
Just kill the bastard the needs of the many outweigh the needs of one its costing millions in lost time and productivity
abc7.com also has a feed.
The suspect has rights! More than you or me in fact.
Well im all broken up about that mans rights
When I first tuned into this on Headline news hours ago I thought they should just start squashing the car. After all they have armoured vehicles in front and behind him. Just squish him until he says uncle.
Look at how many people have been affected by this.
A chopper with a huge magnet could just pick him up. LOL
But he would probably jump and the police would get sued for cruel and unusual punishment.
I bet some people wish they did not get the big gulp this morning or the coffe grande
In Europe last year I saw them use a crane on a truck to pick up a mini-van out of an expired meter spot and haul it off... works better then putting a boot on it
Here we go... (I think)
"stick" spotted.
Preparing for smoke bomb deployment.
Are you watching an internet live feed? I can't find it on local TV.
Yep. abc7.com.
It's back on CNN HL also. They're speculating about the big white stick too.
There's a kind of a tear gas smoke bomb thingy on the end.
They'll bust it through the window, and flush him out.
It's over...
The ending was kind of boring.
Yep. Guess he didn't want the tear gas.
Boring is good.
True. Don't want to see anybody get hurt.
OK Damn, I went outside with Jack and now it's over. I missed it. :-D
LOL
The Bicycle Club is deeply saddened.
was this near the bicycle club? dang, I am supposed to head to commerce tonight.
For the next 10 years, that's what I would hear; "pussy cow". It bugged the crap out of me.
Finally, a friend from out of town came to visit, and with "fresh" ears, he heard "Go see Cal".
It was one of those; "OF COURSE! How could I have been so friggin' STUPID!"
