He stopped twice to get out, looked around, and then got back in to start the chase up again.

The end was at the top of an arch bridge over the Miami (OH) River, where he got out a third time with police/swat setting up behind him for the felony stop. He saw that there were no police cars in front of him on the far side of the bridge, heard the train coming, and I guess thought that he could make the ultimate escape across the grade crossing before the officers could get back into their cars and start chasing him again. Unfortunately for him, his timing was bad, and I'm guessing that his turning/stopping to avoid the collision were impaired by driving on two rims when he realized that he wasn't going to beat the train.....

Gascon is out! Maybe there’s some hope for the rule of law and the protection of the citizens in L.A. County.

Trump is in! Maybe there’s some hope for the rule of law and the protection of the citizens in this country.

I feel for you guys. It took us 4 years of B.S. for the country to shift back the other way.

We're in such a deep hole that I don't know how long it's going to take for us to bounce back.

I have to stop now. I don't want to get in trouble

Thankfully California got that one right at least.

Sedan, hypothetical for a relative...

Who's responsible should a minor get a hold of a firearm in a home that belongs to someone other than the homeowner?

It’ll be nuanced. The questions that will be asked…

1. Was the homeowner aware the firearm was in the home? If so, what measures were implemented to safeguard that firearm?

2. Were the parents aware the firearm was in the home? Did they bring it into the home? What measures were implanted to safeguard that firearm?

3. Why was the firearm left unattended?



A home without minor children isn’t bound by requirements to store firearms in a safe.

I would tell the relative they could be partially responsible should that firearm be left unattended and a minor shoot someone or commit suicide. If they were never aware of the gun in the first place, the liability wouldn’t fall on them, but rather, the person who was responsible for bringing the gun into the home.
