Okay, so this morning, there was a car chase that apparently ended in my neighborhood with one dead...
"But Phlip, don't you live in a nice neighborhood full of old people?"
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do, but that doesn't stop unsavory non-resident characters from coming and being in the park across the street from my house, nor would it stop the same ones who know of the secluded nature of the neighborhood from trying to use that as an "out."
Anyways, apparently, some guy had beaten up his girlfriend, and when she called the cops, he took her car and booked with it. Ran from the cops, ends it all in my neighborhood, where he passed (I live in a horseshoe, I don't know HOW he kept that piece of shit Chevy on the road, fails to realize that the street ends with a REQUIRED right or left at the end, jumps the curb into the back playground of an elementary school and is ordered from the car.
Idiot reaches for his waist; one shot fired, then 5 more... Greensboro PD wins, and now my WHOLE neighborhood would be on lockdown from 6am until about noon eastern (my time), the 3 blocks between my house and that corner he crashed on, and 2 blocks in each direction from the spot, with police walking up and down and getting statements from neighbors.
Granny called Mr. Beasley, who lives like 3 doors down from the crash/shootout (and happens to have a VERY nice FC RX-7, BTW... cool ass 70-something year old man, often offers to buy my car) and that is where I am getting my information from.
This has been a crazy fucking day so far.
