I understand that they were stealing large items, but let’s get real for a moment. Every U-Haul I have ever rented has been a death trap. (In the interest of full disclosure I have rented two). I am willing to bet the wreck that ended the chase had nothing to with speed, but everything to do with bad tires. Dude, next time rent a Ryder, or make your escape on foot, but please don’t take the U-Haul.

Haven’t done anything to live up to that toothless stereo type lately? How ’bout a good ol’ fashioned headbutting? Just go find your wife, mother, or significant other and have at it.

So I sat down to read my RSS feed from the Gaston Gazette and I was surprised to find two separate instances of assault by headbutt on the same day. What are the odds? Headbutting someone that you are not in life or death combat with just seems unnecessary. So, on the one hand and glad to have something to blog about and on the other I am very disappointed.

Check out the police blotter below:
