Not Just Your Average L.A. Pursuit...

Is anyone watchig the four-hour slow-speed pursuit with the $300,000 Bentley? The guy led police and CHP all over L.A. from the San Fernando Valley down to Manhattan Beach, to West L.A., then back to where it began in the San Fernando Valley.

Currently it's now stopped. The guy raised the trunk. Cops have the Bentley surrounded, guns drawn. The driver isn't moving from the car.

No one knows who's in the car, but TV is suggesting it might be a famous person (a rapper, probably ), and the paparazzi and people are everywhere, surrounding the scene.

I'd say "More at 11," but this has gone on long past 11 after it began at 8PM.

So that's what that was. I was coming back from my gun dealer, driving up the 405 and saw about 15 units heading south on the 405 just north or LAX. This was around 10pm.

Midnight, and it's still going on.

Watch...as soon as they arrest this guy, there'll be a riot.

There was a closeup of the driver on Channel 9.

Hmmm...the guy looks like a fat George Michael from Wham.

Dammit! Besides not being able to watch DVD's in 5.1 digital, I miss out on live chases. I need a T.V.!

I wonder how much of a discount a $300,000 Bentley goes for with blood all over the dash?
