Second Amendment
With police like this, is there any question why Americans cherish the second amendment?
A sharp-eyed Boing Boing contributor has spotted what may be alleged kidnapper and rapist Phillip Garrido stalking a Street View van, after he spotted it capturing his house in Antioch, California. Garrido, 58, is accused of kidnapping 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991 in the Lake Tahoe area of Nevada and holding her for …
Well said that man - maybe we should all rush to check Streetview to find out where the van stopped "tailing" the snoopmobile, and what is down the other streets it may have taken once it gave up the "low-speed pursuit" (my sarcasm, not theirs).
After all, if there is a store selling ropes and other accoutrments of the kidnapper's trade then it must be an open-and-shut case...I mean, it's not like anyone else would have a reason for driving a van while Google's Snoops-R-Us are in the area is it?
AC in case they start following, sorry, /leading/ me too...
Yes, but we all know even if he was proven to be going to the store the media would put a different slant on it, such as:
"It was later found that Garrido was in fact driving to the local hardware store, possibly in order to purchase more tarpaulin to extend the makeshift prison in which Miss Dugard was held, along with her two children"
Though the CBS article seems to state the bleeding obvious: "Garrido needs a psychiatric evaluation"
He'd have to be pretty damn quick on his feet to see the google car, get the van keys, run to the van, start it and get down his drive before the car has even finished passing his house!
Or do google cars "cruise" at <1mph?
So I vote for him using his van to go somewhere, what a novelty.
