I have been on 115th and had cars in a funeral come head on to my car where I had to veer way to the right and up against the curb to avoid these fools hit me and my children head on. They laughed and laughed and flashed what I assumed where gang signs at me. I do not know why anyone would find this acceptable or even try to defend. What is the open mind here ?- let fools hit me in my car when I am completely minding my own business heading to Dominicks to buy groceries with my hard earned money. Steve, what I know is going on, is what I just said - erratic driving, taking up 3 lanes (one of which is a lane heading east bound while these fools, gangbangers or not, are heading west) and loud obscene gestures in a RESIDENTIAL neighborhood. This is completely illegal (driving the wrong way, driving erratically, hanging out the windows which clearly says no seatbelt) and so disrespectful for the dead and the living. There is no doubt they were heading to the funeral of some one, then acting like a fool. To defend this in anyway make you one as well.
