I've been glued to my TV screen for the last hour or so. Intriguing movie maybe, you may ask? Far from it, but it might as well have been. A twenty something year old man was responsible for my couch potato tendencies this afternoon. He led police in a high speed chase on the freeway. So anyway, the story is that the cops ran his plate numbers, and discovered he had a warrant out for his arrest. So being the smart man he is, he thought he could outrun "big brother". Insert chuckle here. Well the chase was brought to a screeching halt when "psychoman" ran a red light, and was consequently t-boned by an oncoming truck. Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt, no thanks to psychoman's crazy antics. By the end of the live telecast, my mood had shifted from intrigued, to mad.
So what drives people to such insane lengths? Surely he knew he would ran out of gas eventually? Maybe his fear of going to jail drove (no pun intended) him to his "straight out of an action flick" adventure mode. Maybe he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. That would explain his behavior right? Maybe, but either way, he should still be held accountable for his actions. He put not only his life in danger, but also the lives of dozens of other motorists, and pedestrians. Self-centeredness at it's finest!
Word of advice, cooperate with "big brother". You can't outsmart him.
