Absolutely...

Remember yesterday's (lunchtime) high-speed chase and arrest of the guy on the southwest freeway???

The guy arrested had inheirited a ton of money from his families estate up in Pennsylvania recently...He quit his job late last year and was living high on the hog since...

You won't hear exact details like that on the news because they are generally stupid (no pun intended)...

Because he and I worked very close together at a company I worked for last year as well...

He was very distracted, and overwhelmed by the hurdles he had to jump through because of other family members making the estate issue difficult for him...

You can see some things sometimes...But you don't see the whole picture all the time...I knew he was a bit off...But when I saw the closeups on the news, I was floored...I never would have imagined him doing something like this...

And his response on camera was the typical: "I was scared!"

You just never know anymore...

If work was outlawed, there would be no more workplace shootings.

You must be retired, or independently wealthy...

Therefore, I feel we must tax you more...

He drove pass me on 59N in the morning with 10 cops right behind him. I was on the far right lane and he's on the far left. Scary scene.

Please help the wounded store owner who fought off 3 robbers. He doesn't have medical insurance.
