Shooting SUV's?

Anybody have this type of thing happening in your area? I've heard of these things in LA, Ohio, and now it's in my neck of the woods. Why do people do crazy things like this?

It will never cease to amaze me how ingorant and violent people can be towards each other, and for it to be over the kind of car they choose to drive is even more ridiculous.

Remember the idiots that were burning the hummer dealers? I wonder if they know that by burning those buildings and cars that they put more pollution in the air than all the suvs in the world could in the next 10 years?

One of those events actually took place here in Oregon. The arson who had no prior police record received 23 years in the state pen. I guess they wanted to make an example out of him.

well just figure if they just burned ONE row of hummers that'd be around 2 million dollars, now throw in a building and about 10 trucks, you'd be looking at around my life's earnings, I think he got off easy with just 23 years.... maybe he should work off his debt, at $8/hour! AND get to stay in the concrete appartment!!!

$8 and hour? Minimum wage sounds better.

Here in SoCal I guess it doesn't matter what gets shot at. They seem to be shooting at just about anything that's going down the freeway these days.

Very true, dumptech. With as badly as I "play" with the insanely horrible drivers on the freeway I'm surprised that I haven't been shot at yet.

i dunno if they just need to shoot big targets where that happened, but my buddy drives for an electrical company and he had the back window of his chevy reglar cab shot out one day. the bullet hole was on the drivers side. we figure it went thoughthe glass and out his open drivers window. scary as hell. he was pretty shook up. this was in san antonio passing by a major roadway intersection. just cruising along and *pop*

This kind of reminded me.. I read somewhere that 6 out of 10 drivers have a gun stashed in their car. Anybody else hear this, or have the numbers?
