When the perp is caught, I’m certain they will base their defense on ice cream truck music syndrome.

Place your bets.

IMHO I’d say he was dealing in “snow” cones as well as Ice Cream.

In the 70s in St Petersburg ice cream truck drivers were often MC gang members and dealing drugs off the trucks.”Good Humor” had a slightly perverse connotation. I knew a couple of those guys. My attitude toward that sort of thing was a bit less developed than it is now.

The ice cream truck biz isn’t what it used to be. Ya see these guys who look like Osama Bin Laden driving these trunks with loud speakers playing Jingle Bells in August.

The address near which the shooting took place.. is In a hood that most of us would do well to stay out of in the Middle Of The Day!

I drove a cab over there in the early seventies...and it wasnt that nice back then

All I can say it must be an illegal who is not smart enough to stay out of black neighborhoods.

It wasn't a very good movie either, but it had a happy ending.
