The Related Video’s title calls it a “gun battle”. Doesn’t a “gun battle” require BOTH parties to be firing a gun? Is it possible that Reuters sensationalized (lied in) the title to generate click-through traffic?

Say it isn’t so!

@victor672 -

Good point, there were never people in cars shooting at other people in America before.

That’s sarcasm, by the way. This type of thing has been happening in America since cars were invented and before that people were shooting at others from horses.

I love when idiots with no apparent knowledge of history at all think that America prior to the last few decades was some sort of idyllic paradise. It wasn’t. This has always been a pretty violent country, even in the 50s when the media pretended it wasn’t.

Just so you know, the amount of violent crime (per capita) in America has actually been DECLINING since the early 1990s and is now back to 1960s levels.

I can almost guarantee there were drugs or other illicit activity involved. Nobody drives a car like that and gets gunned down for no reason.
