I couldn't go outside for hours... What, exactly, is that LAPD blog for? Why, exactly, did the news not cover this? Did they or did they not catch the guy they weren't even sure existed? Argh.

Around 4:30 or so I kept hearing helicopters flying around my neighborhood so I figured there was a car accident on the freeway. Ten minutes later it was breaking news on the tv and low and behold they were right down the street at the Auto Zone and my late night Carls Jr restaurant. Damn! I thought I was in Hollywood for a second. I kept hearing helicopters circling till around 10 or so. You think they would have run out of fuel by now.

as someone who lives in the perimeter as set up last night, ben bang, I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. those copters were swirling well past 11, zooming their searchlight just beyond where i live. i can't believe i don't know, either, if man #2 was caught. i couldn't believe what a scene there was last night, just a hop skip and a jump from chez moi.

It's amazing that, after those of us in the neighborhood had to endure a three hour lockdown and cops swarming our yards, they couldn't tell us if they had caught the motherfucker. I, for one, consider that shit pertinent fucking information. It's even more amazing that we still don't know as of today.
