Drunks do that... maybe.

And there’s the story about the alcoholic who comes home goes to bed as he does just about every night totally plastered.

Wakes up in the morning and takes a shower kisses the wife goodbye goes out to his car,she watches from the doorway and when his car pulls out of the carport she faints. He sees her faint, runs over to the front porch where she’s fainted looks around and sees the body of a dead person all over the front of his grill.

Here’s a rumor, unfounded. Remember that woman a few years ago who went crazy and started driving a truck wildly along a long pedestrian walkway to deliberately kill them? She was heard to shout the “Akbar” phrase but that line was dropped from stories shortly after.

“The driver eventually crashed the silver Honda Element, then fled on foot.”

The driver should have stayed in his Element.

Wow...I read this and was hopeful...
The deadly chain of events rattled the city, which was already on edge after dealing with waves of political violence and property destruction from extremist groups on the left...

Oh how slow the wheels of Justice grind for lefties out in Portland.

But the most important question is: was the driver wearing their mask properly?
