If you go down a ditch hard enough the front of the car will hit the bottom of it. Even in your picture, it’s easy to imagine leaving the road and a good enough angle and with enough speed that after going over that first berm, you’ll hit the second one with your front bumper. > [@Gorsnak](#): > > That can absolutely be my closest ever connection to a mass murder, thank you very much. 10 years ago in Wisconsin we had a mass shooting at a Sikh Temple. I got detoured around that, but for some reason, until you posted that, it never occurred to me that the scene was still active when I drove past it and I was within a few hundred feet of all those victims, still waiting for the police to get inside the building. ::shudder:: ---

Now it will take days to get the full story because the death of the Queen has pushed all other news off the air. ---

I can’t find it again, but one source said he died of an overdose. He took the drugs (meth I think, sorry I read it late last night), was taken into custody and then the drugs hit his system and killed him. ---

Some of the early articles about his death said that, but they’ve all been updated to say he died in police custody after a medical emergency. I assume there will be an autopsy. ---

I had wondered if he was carrying something akin to a cyanide capsule, and fully intended to die rather than be taken into custody. Enough meth, or other drugs, can certainly do the same thing, although maybe not as rapidly. ---

This would be an excellent time for Trump to slip, fall, and crack his head in the shower. Can you imagine how outraged he’d be at NOT gathering all the media attention he’d feel he deserves?
