This fine upstanding member of the infamous 18th street LA gang decided one day that he would try to car-jack a semi truck at gun point. The gangster jumped up on the driver side while the truck was in motion and stuck a gun in the drivers face. The only problem was that the truck driver opened up the door and knocked the attempted thief off. He lost his balance and fell under the wheels of the truck. At which time the driver slammed on his brakes, resting on top of him and decided that this was the perfect time to whip out his Fuji Disposable camera....Say cheese homie!

This one is DRT (dead right there)

Sure hope they recycled the aluminum can.

It was pointed out to me that the story may not be accurate as the 'victim' is under the right side of the truck and not the drivers side. We can only hope that while the story may be factually inaccurate, the context is true.

From the 'I will not stand up and take my punishment like a man Files'
FLANDREAU, S.D. (AP) — Rep. Bill Janklow's long-shot request to have his manslaughter conviction thrown out was denied by a judge Tuesday.
Janklow's lawyer, Ed Evans, argued at a hearing that prosecutors did not present enough evidence to establish the congressman's guilt before he was convicted last month in a deadly crash with a motorcyclist.
"I'm giving the jury the deference it's entitled to," Steele said.
Another hearing is set for Feb. 10 to hear Janklow's request for a new trial.

WASHINGTON — Police can set up roadblocks to collect tips about unsolved crimes without violating the Constitution's ban on "unreasonable" searches, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.The justices voted 6-3 to reverse a decision by the Illinois Supreme Court, which had thrown out the drunken-driving conviction of Robert Lidster. He was arrested in Lombard, Ill., in 1997 at a roadblock where police were giving out information and seeking tips about a hit-and-run homicide that had happened there a week earlier.The decision was the latest in which the court has drawn a fine line around the common police practice of setting up roadblocks. Justices have rejected drug roadblocks that have no target in mind but permitted sobriety checkpoints that are brief and not overly intrusive.

In 1935, the police in Atlantic City, New Jersey, arrested 42 men on the beach. They were cracking down on topless bathing suits worn by men.
FLFLHTC: Oh those thilly boys!

EL CAJON – A man shot to death outside a bar last year knew there was trouble ahead when a group of young men showed up wearing shirts linking them to a notorious motorcycle gang, witnesses testified yesterday.

"Call the police," David "L.J." Florentine told the bar's bouncer, according to testimony. "The Mongols are here."

One of the men got into an argument with the 56-year-old Florentine and another pulled out a gun and started shooting, witnesses said in Superior Court.

The preliminary hearing is expected to continue through Jan. 27 when Judge Allan J. Preckel will decide whether there is enough evidence to order a trial for Ray Nolan Waldron, 29, on murder and attempted murder charges.

A detective who specializes in motorcycle gangs testified Waldron is a member of the Mongols gang, which has been in a bloody turf war with the Hells Angels gang for more than 25 years.

Florentine, whose pickup sported Hells Angels stickers, told his assailants shortly before he was killed that he hadn't been associated with the gang for more than 15 years, the bouncer testified.
