Thanks EVO X. That was dramatic video. My wife reported the orthodox Jew spraying the car with a hose before fire trucks arrived. I did not hear any mention of the other car, the one that, according to my wife, forced Hasting’s Mercedes off the road and into the tree. I’m sure someone with Spanish language facility, took a complete report from the man selling something on the corner, and who claimed to have seen the whole incident. Given that this was hardly a deserted area, there is probably lots of video showing the two cars as they pass gas stations, banks, homes with street surveillance. Whether we’ll see it is another question. Hastings is only known by a few who follow government conspiracies; the media know that and probably understand the risks in reporting potentially damning information. Pravda was government media. The Government fell but Pravda is still around, albeit with a modified mission and somewhat less stature.
Video surveillance is pervasive in most commercial and many residential areas in Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Every other house in my neighborhood has video recording street activity since police, if they come at all, will only respond to burglaries where the criminal is in the house. Criminals know there will be no investigation, let alone prosecution, if no one is injured. Sadly, I speak from experience, where my stolen auto was found with receipts identifying the thief, phone number, address, web site (he provides a moving service) and the police didn’t want the papers, honestly saying they had no resources to investigate a case that wasn’t worth taking to court; understandable, but clearly indicating a growing lawless society.)
