Default Highspeed Chase

What was up with the 18-wheeler? I was watching it on T.V. here in San Angelo, how did it end?

As I heard from the news, the guy got into the cab of an 18 wheeler with a gun to the driver, a woman, and started driving for 3 hrs. Apparently he wanted to make a political statement saying that African Americans were prejudiced when being considered for a job and "had an 'X' on their back."
Rent an action movie, it's better.

The high-speedchase in Houston that happens like 2 days ago....now that was funny and cool . The cops chased the guy in a pickup truck(attemped armrobbery) for like 2 hours and it was on the news the whole time. The dude on a pickup truck gave the Houston cops a chase for their $$$. The dude was driving on the freeways...then around the country roads....then through the apt. complex..then through the country club....then back on freeway(toll-way)....got his tires spiked....hit the other truck and then ended up in a creek surrounded with cops and k-9!

That was cool?

If he'd have hit people or crashed into your car that would have been cooler?

It ain't a movie, this is real life and damage costs money and people stay dead.

Funny things the reporter said. "....they went to the back of the pickup truck." In reference to the 18 wheeler.
"...in the truck with an armed hostage..."

I think you got a wrong impressing. When i mean that's funny....I mean how the dude driving off the road....around the apt. complex and through the country club, and into the creek. And when i mean cool, i mean it was so interesting how the dude out-smart the cops for nearly 2 hours before they can set up the spikes to spiked his tires. And no, it would not be cooler if it was my car that he hit....and it sure wouldn't be any cooler if there was death involted.
