Police in California's Central Valley have launched a manhunt for at least one suspect after a series of 10 random shootings on vehicles left one woman wounded this holiday season, officials said on Thursday.
Right, we should flip off reports like this, when they're from California, because everyone knows that human life there has no value, right? I mean--who cares about Californians? Maybe we should just poison all the water there now, and get California over with, so we can replace the population with Holy Roller Bible-thumpers. Random shootings in Florida, or Alabama or Georgia? Now that's a real tragedy. California? Phhhhht.
Yea, this sort of thing only happens in California.
This can happen anywhere, but so everyone knows, CA rose to infamy in the 1980s because of this very type of thing, which is why I think the other poster said "Just California. What else is new?"

Southern California's Freeway Shootings
July 31, 1987
Since mid-June, at least 16 random shooting incidents on local roadways have led to a mood of paranoia that has spread like a rush-hour traffic advisory among the Los Angeles area's motoring masses. A chronology: Southern California's Freeway Shootings - latimes
I remember this crap occurring in Portland at least 10 years ago where teens were throwing big rocks off a bridge over the freeway. I can't remember if anyone perished but I think so.
I lived through the Mavo/Beltway shooting spree that lasted over 3 weeks in 2002 and it was terrifying. It was just over a year since 9/11. NYC and the DC area were still very uptight. This is not a laughing matter.
