With Sheriff's department budget in a tailspin, the side effects began showing up on the streets with more of the management of criminals and mentally incomprehensible showing up in the form of more sirens and responses in the neighborhood. This should really teach us taxpayers to better manage our managers. Nothing like firsthand encounters to educate the populace about how the law enforcement system has been keeping the barbarians at bay, and somewhat out of sight for all these years.
Yesterday while driving down Elkhorn Blvd in Sac, I had what I thought to be a driver angry at something I had done on my hands. I drive a 1 ton truck which is kind of a lumbering beast, and I figured it was my slow speed that had triggered his response. He began honking and flailing his arms a bit, but then nosed his smaller vehicle into my path several times. Then, he continued forward and changed lanes into the one I was in and began slowing purposely. I lagged back, and he continued to change lanes, honk, and speed up, and slow down. Then he continued on. Unfortunately though, he was awaiting me at the intersection of Watt and elkhorn and charged out of the fast food parking lot at me and began honking and following me down Watt southbound. Right there the 3 lanes narrow into 2, and the driver sidled up and began pinning me in the right lane until it ran out. I wasn't worried too awful much due to me having so much size over him in vehicular terms, but I was taken aback a bit over the intent. His attack continued down Watt ave. For several blocks, and then I was relieved a bit to see him start turning on other drivers, one after another. Not that I wanted to see him turn on others in a misery-deserves-company manner, but I now knew I hadn't been the cause of it all. He changed lanes eratically, cut directly in front of others including a tractor rig, and then turned on me again by sidling up and giving me the finger accompanied by the usual obscenities. Then he moves up at a light and began cursing and challenging the drivers on both sides of him, including throwing something at the driver on the right. By now I'm on the 911 because I believed this was worthy of some attention. I'm also videotaping him and his actions. this continued all the way up Watt ave where he turned north on Auburn, still honking and tormenting people.
I don't think this guy just went off out of nowhere. We are going to be seeing lots of this now that prison population cutbacks are almost a certainty, and jail holdings are already at critical only numbers.
Prepare yourself. The barbarians are within the compound
