A gas station robbery set off a car chase down Los Angeles city streets that led to a crash and the death of one of the robbery suspects, police said.

California cannot (or will not) control crime. So it looks like an angry victim decided to act on his own.

No word yet if this guy was arrested for causing the crash. But given that this happened in Los Angeles,I suppose he will be.

One of the robbers was killed. This is Gascon land. He may be looking at a long time in prison for manslaughter.

I would ticket him for littering, although he really kinda took out the garbage.

I wasn’t thinking about that particular clip (good one, though). But I was wondering if the victim here could claim he was trying to effect a citizen’s arrest.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, West Adams was a swanky, upscale neighborhood, the home of celebrities including the Hollywood producer Busby Berkeley, whose home still stands.
