[Dash cam records 11 minute chase, complete with her meth-addled rambling running commentary](http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-city/index.ssf/2014/01/video_records_tara_axmakers_me.html). How this woman did not kill herself or anyone else is a complete miracle.

It all started when she stabbed someone in the back at a house, then while the cops were looking she crept into one of the police cars and took off. I guess she didn’t learn her lesson about stabbing people in the back:

I just read an article about a couple who ate dinner at a place in Seaside, using a gift card to pay. They had no cash, so gave the server a baggie of crystal meth as a tip. The owner called the cops, but the couple had left. They were arrested later, when a store manager called about some undesirables in his place. [Charming-looking couple](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2536684/Suspected-drug-dealing-couple-leave-waitress-crystal-meth-tip-dinner-drinks-classy-Oregon-steakhouse.html), I must say.

I’m also enjoying the story about the pimp who’s facing a 100 year sentence for almost beating someone to death that’s suing Nike for **One Hundred Million Dollars** for not putting a warning label on his Jordans warning him that they were deadly weapons.

Story and charming mugshot [here](http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2014/01/nike_sued_by_portland_pimp_for.html#incart_river#incart_m-rpt-2).

Well, she did buckle-up for safety near the beginning.

She’s been sentenced to 10 years. What a video, she’s lucky she didn’t kill someone. I hope she gets the help she needs; she’s gonna have plenty of time to dry out.

Perhaps she can hook up with the man who, while on meth, [fought off](http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2013/12/alleged_masturbating_man_in_sa.html) 12 cops while masturbating in a bar.

It looks like she never turned on her headlamps. I’d kill for her night vision.
