So here's my rant for the day....it happened a few days ago. BUT I have to say, if someone was using a car to run me over...I probably would've reacted the same. Instead of quickly blaming the cops (who followed them with sirens blazing -- apparently drunk driving --> being more of a harm to the community)...what about "blaming" the parents who let their 13 year old kids drink (breaking the law), steal cars (breaking the law), disobey the law by not stopping and allowing a chase to happen (BTW, again, breaking the law), then one running away by foot (yup, breaking the law), then using a car (now a WEAPON) to run over a cop (BTW, also a HUMAN BEING..not just some pig). Sometimes, it's not always black and white..sometimes it's not a race issue....in this case, I would say, it's a matter for survival. The car was used as a weapon....and one shouldn't use what the community has seen/experienced in the past as a just reason to blame the cops --> EVERY situation is different. Rodney King, yes excessive. Kid shot in a parking lot while asleep, yes, excessive. But this?? It's just an event gone wrong with a bad outcome at the end.
Good day today....horrible day yesterday. Had to wait 30 minutes for the breakfast place to open, ran into traffic and it took me 2 hours to get home, leaving me only 1/2 an hour to take a shower and eat my food (i got it to go), then no hot/warm water!! So a cold shower....but got some extra hours here at work... so all is good.
Trip to Ensenada is booked for October! Yay!! I'm finally going on my first ever cruise!! So sweeeet!
