Postal truck chase
 
:eek: In Miami there is a police chase with a postal truck. I had CNN on in the background while doing homework and you can clearly see the gun in the truck :eek:

My money on the postal truck, those postal guys are nuts!!!

texas*princess 01-31-2003 01:16 PM

hehehe.. yea.. you can see someone behind the driver which is weird.. they think it's a carjacking.

It has been driving around in neighborhoods and people are walking up to the truck :eek:

moe.ron 01-31-2003 01:18 PM

maybe OJ car chase pt 2?

texas*princess 01-31-2003 01:19 PM

:p

moe.ron 01-31-2003 01:22 PM

It's be cool if the postal car did a Heat thing. Though nobody died in this one.

I'm sorry, but, once again, for a guy with very loew standards and morals, I think it's so sad and pathetic these days that people will encourage the suspects who are puting THEIR lives in danger by driving this way, going so much as to cheer them on in the streets.

I don't know if this is happenin here, but I've seen it before.

texas*princess 01-31-2003 01:29 PM

yep I totally agree DeltaSigStan. It's crazy.

ZTAMiami 01-31-2003 02:25 PM

Whoah!

I had no idea that this has made national news!

They're at a standoff right now.

texas*princess 01-31-2003 03:02 PM

ok i just got back in from running errands...

this guy is really playing with fire. Isn't it majorly against the law to threaten a postal worker w/ a gun?

I go to the post office quite a bit, and waiting in line I always see those signs on the wall about it being illegal.

SATX*APhi 01-31-2003 03:03 PM

Ahh, that's so crazy! I am at work but will have to read up on it on the web since I have no TV here. :(

It's federal offence. So it's off the fed pen for them. BTW, check this scenerio out. 4 vehicles with sirens are at a four way stop. One is an ambulance, a police car, a fire truck and a postal car. Legally, who has the right of war?

Answer: The U.S. Postal truck because it is a federal vehicle. :D Doesn't make sense though, does it?

SATX*APhi 01-31-2003 05:48 PM

Wow, a European link. :p Thanks.

SATX*APhi 01-31-2003 05:52 PM

Okay, I just read the article. You mean to tell me the dude stopped and chatted with people who were walking by? Was he asking for directions or what? :eek:

greeklawgirl 01-31-2003 06:15 PM

Wow, that is one crazy story. I'm just glad that no one was harmed--things could have ended up much worse.
