How unusual. At least we're not going to pay for the state to incarcerate him for an undetermined period of time.

The big story I don't think was the carjacker offing himself after a chase, it was that it was on live TV. Shep should have known better.

Hell yea he was. There was definitely a long enough delay between him putting the gun to his head, and pulling the trigger that they could have gotten off before showing it live, but as I have read that it was probably the executive producer that said to stay on until he pulled the trigger.

If I had to stare at a Caliber's interior for any extended length of time I'd probably kill myself too...

man who cares. if there were more people doing this instead of getting incarcerated.... darwin ftw.

 

[SlushboxTeggy]

Agreed. We are the most incarcerated nation on the planet.
