The things I miss about Southern California include the daily car chases. I also miss The Sizzler, Wahoo's Fish Tacos, Pick Up Stix, and authentic Mexican Food instead of this Tex Mex. (Sorry he killed himself. We watched via internet last night)

Is it ok to laugh.......I mean that’s just funny. I’m thinking every comment on this thread may have to end with something like......”Sorry he killed himself”

I guess I am a bad person.
A man who endangers himself and every innocent on the road with a rented U-Haul truck, by evading arrest is not a person I will miss. Criminals are not an endangered species, although I wish they were. The world is a better place with fewer people like that in it.
Assume personal responsibility. I pull over and take my ticket; I expect others to do exactly the same thing.

High speed in a UHaul truck? Don’t they govern them to 60 mph?

I in contradistinction count even this a sadness. Are we to join the shallow left in making virtue signaling the point of life? We will have gained our own kind of brag, but lost God.

I have a friend from high school who became a Sheriff's Deputy. I used to ride with him when I was working Security.

I was listening to the scanner one evening and my buddy and another deputy got into a chase with a murder suspect, who shot himself at the end of the chase.

The radio traffic was as follows:
That subject 10-7?
10-4, he's definitely 10-7, 10-42.

#6 rented U-Haul truck.
He is not going to get the deposit back.
Now imagine being the next person to rent that truck!

Amazing how little problems are so easily conflated with great tragedies. God thinks of what a person could be, not just of how he has carried his life. Was he mentally ill? I don’t even see that asked.

My sentiments exactly. The world is a better place without him. However, he did do a favor to the California taxpayers in the end.
