Only in LA would the occupants of two cars, continue to shoot at each other, while being pursued.

That reminds me about some major car problems I had a few weeks ago, including my car breaking down in rush hour. I coasted off on the shoulder. A bit later a very kind CHP officer came up and pushed me off the freeway because the tow truck's arrival was going to take at least another hour. Narrow shoulder of about 7 feet meant a harrowing ride with the officer telling me to try to avoid hitting the rail and me trying to steer around a slight curve without power steering.

Once I was off the freeway and thanked the officer profusely, I asked him about all the recent freeway shootings.

He said, "That's kind of a puzzling thing. There has never been a let up in freeway shootings since the 90s. There's no increase, and believe me, there has been no decrease in the number of freeway shootings."

"The officer continued: "Yet lately, for some reason, the local media has decided that freeway shootings are newsworthy events again and we really don't know why."

"It's kinda strange they decided to make freeway shootings headlines again because we have had freeway shootings every single day since they began - what in the 80s or 90s?"
