The writing deteriorates as this article progresses. I’d say the Burger King employee is a good deal smarter than the police spokespersons AND the local news staff reporting on it.
Good, quick thinking! And, yes, the police ALWAYS recommend that no one should try to resist a robbery in any way, because it might put them out of a job, er, might endanger them.
So Stockton is the armpit of CA?
Be sure to forward this story to anyone you know working in a fast food joint!
That would be it.
Don’t run out the back and drive off while two guys with guns are pointing them around in the front of the restaurant. Just stay there and comply.
There is something about cars, drivers, and Stockton....And politicians who found out about bankruptcy laws. Right?
“So Stockton is the armpit of CA?”
I have never spent a lot of time in SoCal so I don’t know
but since there are always two armpits it could qualify
as one NorCal armpit. The other could be East Palo Alto.
Yah, well there is the Stockton political aspect, too.
The town is in the middle of a fantastic ag region. It
prospered because of its’ proximity to the Delta and
shipping. It calls itself “California’s Sunrise Seaport”
because it developed a port to ship all those agri-products.
But just like Anywhere, USA when the liberals become
the city fathers they give away the farm. They just happened
to work hard enough to be among the first to go broke.
Don't forget Richmond.
You’re right, Richmond. Neighbor, Vallejo getting grim, too.
Notice I DID give myself wiggle room.
East Palo Alto, Richmond / Martinez, many area of Oakland, and east San Jose come to mind immediately as places in northern CA that are almost certainly at least as bad as any area of Stockton.
It’s almost axiomatic that being “the car theft capital of California” can’t be as bad as it gets — it means that there are a lot of people who have cars worth stealing. When you’re a feral primitive in the places I mentioned and there’s nothing to steal, you get your sense of worth by beating or killing people for looking at you “the wrong way”, etc.
Verb tense fail? WTF is, excuse me, would be, going on in this paragraph?
Upon listening to the video, I absolve the copy editor. The problem — and many more — is with the original reporter.
It’s really surreal to hear this reporter, whose job can be described as “speaking”, seemingly just picking verb tenses at random from sentence to sentence.
MEMO TO SELF: Never leave the getaway car running when robbing banks, and fast food points.
Earlier this week, there was a drive-thru cashier who noticed some crook coming through in her stolen car.
Now the employees are stealing the patrons’ cars.
What a week.
