No kidding! I think they managed to squeeze four lanes out of two!

This has impacted the image that I've had in my head of the altercation from the get go. In that area, the car doors could have been impossible to open and the car boxed in regardless of how well he attempted to plan.

It's all Monday morning quarterbacking and at the end of the day the victim of the car jacking survived. However, having worked that area late at night back before CHL, I can tell you I really wanted to carry a gun back then. We don't know all the details and personally I really hope I never in my life have to hurt or kill someone. However, if faced with a similar situation I might have pulled out my 9mm and just kept firing until the mag was empty. Scary, scary to think that I used to work out there in the wee hours completely unarmed, but that was 1992.
