5 Hour Car Chase?

Actually, it was a slow-speed chase. No kidding.

So Brandon, Jayther, Jana and I were watching this live car chase on both Fox and ABC [plus a little from CBS]. Basically, a Pakistani businessman in a $170,000 white Bentley was being followed BY LAPD for 3 hours. WTF? A lady called 911 about the man abusing her and such. It started around 7:55 p.m. and I started watching this live footage around 11:25. He even followed the law of the road, surprisingly. So he put his car to a halt in the middle of the street at North Hollywood where a crowd, including paparazzi were trying to get a look at what was up. They assumed it was a celebrity. I had the same thought as well. I mean really, who would drive a 170 grand white Bentley other than just celebs? I thought this was going to end quickly. My guess was wrong.

During the live footage, a lady got out of the car and proceeded safely to the police where she was being questioned. I believe she was the one who made that call regarding the abuse. The man in the driver's seat was still there, holding an automatic gun. Yikes! After several minutes of patiently waiting for the next thing to happen, he was finally in the hands of the SWAT team. I know he had a gun and all, but really...police waiting that long to make a move must have been tiresome. I was already getting bored, wondering as to when the hell were they going to move in and surround the car. There were at least 3 SWAT trucks surrounding the car, and yet they haven't really done anything until the end. The guy shot himself, and LAPD informs that he's in 'grave condition'. Now the question is, who's going to buy that used Bentley?

Speaking of the car, people were twittering over the situation. Brandon gave us the link to the 'main' suspect's Twitter, with the name 'WhiteBentley'. I really LOLed when I saw the posted comments, including the one by 'GreyBeetle' where he said 'GET THE F*CK OFF MY STREET!' Honestly, all of this was entertaining than just chills. A forum Brandon linked consisted of BS but hilarious comments from people, thinking that the suspect is DJ Khaled. First off, how the hell did he came up? And second, Why would he have a license plate that's from Illinois [which was shown from the white Bentley]? His wikipedia info also got screwed over this mess. HAHAH funny. I'm sure he's going to wake up with confusion.

Sadly, the fun ended when ABC, FOX and CBS ended the footage. Dang, all of this happening within the course of two weeks. Phelps suspended for 3 months after that marijuana incident. A divorced, but insane woman giving birth to octuplets using vitro-fertilization, which adds up to 14 children. Then Chris Brown's case as what may view him as a woman beater, and now this. I gotta say, this actually made my night. I'm sure Sedan's going to make tons of profits after this incident. The company would be thrilled for the news.
