Saw an idiot today
I was in the Wal-Mart parking lot, which is a bad place to begin with. 3 shootings in Indianapolis Wal-Marts since April. I was about to leave the lot when I saw a red '95-ish Corolla flying down athe next row, going about 30 mph. We had about 3 inches of slushy snow, and it was still wickedly slick out. He yanked the emergency brake and tried to drift the car (still heading down a row of cars), and swung wide. His rear end was aimed directly at a GMC envoy, but he smacked the curb hard about 10 feet before he got there. The car got way over on its left side, but landed on all 4 wheels. I turned and headed over that way to make sure any vehicles or people did not get hit, and to find out where he parked. I was going to tell the Wal-Mart cop, who was parked in front of the building, what happened.
When I got behind him, I saw that his progress had been impeded by a cop car. And off-duty cop happened to be going the wrong way down the row and saw the whole thing. He was already out of his car, yelling and cussing at the guy, who was not cooperating. I went and got the Wal-Mart cop to help him out.
The car's rear suspension was totally jacked up, and he left some parts where he smacked the curb. I left my information with the cop and went home somewhat stunned.
