2 wounded in new LA highway shooting

So anyone from the Los Angeles / Orange County area want to form a vigilante group?

4. The cameras are EVERYWHERE in LA as it is....

They have the cameras all over town as it is, so I
don't think so- you can't get on the freeway or
stop at an intersection without being photographed.
Not a peep about it in the process of installing them, they are suddenly
just everywhere.

2. Might be a correlation between gridlock and road rage?

More gridlock = shorter fuses?

3. Actually, KFWB said that...

Both of the suspects that have been identified so far were Mexican. I'm wondering if this relates to an e-mail that was sent out a while ago that caused a lot of people to stay home. I wonder if they're trying to start a gang war.

5. I do not know much about these, are they related or show a pattern?

I do not watch MSM and have only heard a small amount about these shootings. been about twenty of them so far haven't there? Is this getting similar play as the sniper shootings in Virginia a few years back? Are people starting to panic and stay off the freeways or are they acting like typical Californians and "shrug" paying no attention?

7. Here's what I know

Edited on Wed May-11-05 07:16 PM by EOO

- These shootings are from car to car, not from the overpass

- They've happened in several freeways so far (I-5, CA-55, I-110, I-15, I-405, and CA-118)

- So far, no patterns have been identified yet and the only two suspects that have been identiefed were Mexican

- And yeah, it's typical LA. Half the city is panicked, the other half doesnt care. It's like the nightclub scene in Collateral.
