Are you scared to drive in L.A.?
 
8 people have been shot on L.A. freeways since March 12, all random. Some say it's gang-related. Regardless, I have to remind myself to go a little easier on the horn.

Here's an LA Times story: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-freeway26apr26,1,2752574.story?coll=la-headlines-california&ctrack=1&cset=true

At first I thought maybe it was the latest environmentalist scheme... shoot a few freeway drivers, maybe scare a few into not driving. But then I realized that liberals are horrible shots. :p

I drive or take the bus on the 110 daily. I'm certainly trying to be more aware of what is going on around me now. Unfortunately I haven't been able to take the bus as much as I'd like.

Thousands commute daily on LA freeways and a total of 8 people so far is still pretty good odds in your favor. I hope they get this under control but in the mean time you have to go on with your daily life and if its your time, make sure you take at least one of them with you. :D

One of the girls in one of my classes said she was on the freeway (110 south heading to San Pedro) when they opened fire a few weeks ago at night. Said she just didn't know what to do so she sped up. It was dark so all she could really see was the muzzle flashes.

Everybody knows these stories can't be true...with all the wonderful gun ownership regulations in California, the criminals and gangbangers couldn't possibly have guns, eh?!?!?!?!?

Hey...I've got an idea...let's put a serial number on each case, so when we find 'em flattened on the I405, we can just look the guy up, call him on his cell, and convince him to turn himself in!

I stay away from LA. About 1400 miles away from LA. ;)

Definitely more cautious!

If I see a car full of cholos with their windows down I'm gunna be getting on the brakes REALLY hard... that's if I'm in the 911...

If I'm in my big bad bronco... well then... they'll have to contend with my BF Goodrich rubber running over their ass...

But seriously... be careful out there...
