Liquid Natural Gas, we need it for all the power plants so we can pay less for our electricity!
Still laughing at this one Lainie. Forget about what I said earlier. They need to report it as it is. :-)
This would have never happened if there had been a gun buyback. /sarcasm
But the far more significant story would be what happened with the 2 cars of shooters. And, presuming the person who started this thread reported it honestly, neither channel 9 or channel 5 even MENTION the pursuit of the shooters.
That would be me. And yes, it was not only mentioned, it also being reported with video of the pursuit, via news chopper CH 9, with massive police pursuits, of reportedly two vehicles, and they even reported several had been shot in the car to car incident. Several others on this thread saw it too. They actually broke this with breaking news logo.
Then, the story just dropped off completely, then again they picked up on this or another pursuit a short time later. I don't know of this one was part of the car to car shooting story. They never said. So many pursuits lately, it's hard to keep up.
Whew, was relieved to read your post again in context and discover you weren't planning to find a place to shoot at people from your car.
As for leaving, I worked gangs for years, and spent much of my time on the phone with law enforcement from other states who called to ask questions about the gangs they were inheriting from L.A. (or at least their gangs pretended to be related to the ones in L.A.).
Bump to ask you a question tomorrow, provided I REMEMBER the question....
If not, I plead the 5th. :)
What a day....I'm bushed, time to hit the sack!
Hi BG, long time no see. Good to see ya!
Thanks..I believe you. I urge you and others to join me and try to find out for Channel 9 what the story on the pursuit of the two cars involved in the shooting is. I have left a phone message with KCAL, but it will take a number of inquiries, I think.
I'm not as disturbed by the break in covering the pursuit as the failure to again mention it. Like...it never happened.
I believe there have been other followup shootings on or near LA freeways that have been intentionally withheld from the public. (Probaby don't want to stir up more anti-illegal alien feelings.) As I said, this incident is far more significant than the two chases the channel did cover ad nauseum on this June 7.
Thank you for your original report.
I was checking out that website a few weeks ago, and they reported a "Possible possum" on the freeway. I kid you not.
Agreed. Who needs a soap opera life? Dull is reality, The other option is trouble. Dull can be exciting, happy, sober, etc, a host of good adjectives, never dull as in couch potato, or brain dead.
Cute baby pix.
I've lived in CDA but didn't love that area either. RE is doing great up there, I hear.
Not meaning to sound like a nut case, but I tend to agree, and I feel a lot of news events are being stifled, blacked out or purposely filtered out, for various reasons. As far as finding out why the car to car shooting/pursuit incident disappeared, I don't have much time, but I wish you luck finding out the reason. Strange, it was big, breaking news with video for about 25 seconds, then never followed up.
Please, ask away!!
Ta DAAAAAAA!!!!! Thanks for reminding me!
You've got FRmail.
