5 years ago, traffic was snarled on the elevated freeway here when a woman pulled over and jumped off, nude and on fire.
This week a brilliant citizen
threw a lit "explosive firework" at a woman with whom he was arguing at a local U-Haul franchise. At the same time, another paragon of civic virtue was siphoning gas out of rental trucks on the lot.
Firework plus gas equals boom, including the gas thief, who fled on foot and on fire.
