We've been hearing a lot of gunfire at night this week. This morning, it was followed by a high-speed chase out of the hood. According to the Highway Patrol's log, the local tweakers tried to steal from the pot growers. The growers shot at their car, chased them down to the highway, rammed their car into a tree, and were beating the shit out of the occupants with shovels when the law showed up. I guess when you garden for a living, your weapon of choice is a shovel.

Yes, when you steal from criminals, the police are the least of your worries. Most people learn that fairly early in life.
Perhaps meth causes you to forget.

When you steal from the mob, you're on the news as a missing person. When you steal from wannabe's, the police catch you getting beaten up with garden tools.

OTOH, I find it quite remarkable that the guys with spades also had guns and weren't using them on those guys. I wouldn't necessarily write these guys off as wannabes. The decision to either not take the guns on the chase or not to use them after the crash is pretty unusual and shows discipline.

The decision to 1. Shoot at their car. 2. Chase them down the highway. 3. Ram them into a tree. 4. Still be there when the police show up. All point to not having much discipline at all. So they went 1 for 5 on having some discipline, that's not a great batting average. There's a big difference between "A" mob, and "THE" mob.

How nice of the local media to reinforce the message for the local growers. To me it's the same as rustling cattle; don't screw with someone else's crop of anything!
