That doesn't happen if the passenger is able to conceal carry.

One happens a lot more frequently than the other

Which in itself is sad enough. An 8 year old was shot and killed while in their classroom. Nobody is really talking about it. I saw a few headlines last night and that's about it. I just find it sad for our society when we're almost used to this stuff now.

Sick SOB

Cleveland Police are seeking a suspect who posted video of a homicide on Facebook, authorities said.

The murder happened on East 93rd in Cleveland. Police said the shooter streamed the deadly shooting live on his social media page and claimed to have committed other homicides. Police are still investigating those claims.

The suspect is (male black) Steve Stephens 6’1 244 pounds, bald with a full beard. He is wearing a dark blue and grey or black striped polo shirt. He is driving a white or cream colored SUV.

On his Facebook page, which has been taken down, he claims to have so far killed 14 people. One of the videos posted to his page him shows him shooting a man, whom he then says is dead.

That doesn't even seem real. Wow.

Not only is it real, but it is happening far more frequently as time goes on. There have already been numerous killings aired on Facebook Live.

Yes, considering that Facebook live has no redeeming features what so ever, at best it enables you to unwillingly watch your most narcissistic 'friends' live their dull lives in public, its time to ban it completely, if only so I don't have to watch another bloody video of some one eating dinner.

lol, I like Facebook live. It lets me see friends from far off places out having fun.

Thankfully they're not out murdering people, that would kind of suck. I don't think I'd watch that.

You can turn it off for people who are getting annoying. I had to do that for someone on my list who does it almost daily. It got to the point where she would just video her cat sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing.

What a f'n POS, if you want to kill yourself, just do it, no idea why an innocent person has to pay.

Didn't exactly find him dead, there was a car chase and the cops trapped him. Then he took his own life before the cops got a hold of him.

And apparently he was at the McDonald's drive through when someone recognized him and the employees purposely delayed his meal to give the cops a chance to get there.

Yeah I saw that, good job by them. At least he's not going to hurt anyone else.

Man wanted for the april 13th shooting death of a man at a Fresno Motel 6 shoots and kills 3 more.

The three victims were white, and apparently chosen at random, police said. The suspect, Kori Ali Muhammad, 39, is black, police said.
Muhammad had posted on social media a dislike for white people and government officials, Fresno, California, police Chief Jerry Dyer said.

He also yelled "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) when he was arrested Tuesday, officials said.

Two of those shot at were near Catholic Charities and were clients of the social services agency, Dyer said.

"We do not believe ... that this is a terrorist-related crime," Dyer told reporters. "This is solely based on race."

I don't want to take away from what they did at McDonalds, but holy ill advised. I'm sure it was in the moment and they probably just got excited about stopping a criminal, but just a phone call to police was the proper procedure there.

I know if I knew a guy was on the lam for murder and was considered armed and dangerous the absolute last thing I'm doing is purposely delaying him, thinking he won't pick up on my clever little tactic.

From a self preservation perspective, two scenarios you just invited are either him wising up, getting anxious and deciding to take out more victims, or the police actually arriving at McDonalds and that's where the show down is.

Kudos to them for having the gall to get involved in such a volatile situation, though.

Yup, correct procedure is to give him the Happy Meal toy with the tracking device in it.
