Drifters got mangled by OCSO tonight...
I just completed my nightly cruise down OBT on my way home. With the population of unique-looking prostitutes and other nocturnal creatures, it's usually good for one last laugh before I call it a night.
I saw some flashing lights on the side of the road ahead and figured that some import driver was getting owned. I was a little off. It was about 30 of them. There were at least as many Orange County deputies milling around, some of them armed with automatic rifles, and a line of tow trucks and flatbeds. At the edge of the Sam's Club parking lot, there were two or three groups of young car-less drivers watching their rides being impounded. I went to the ATM at the bank in the same lot, and on the way out I asked one of the deputies what was happening.
"THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRAG RACE IN ORANGE COUNTY. WE'RE NOT GOING TO STAND FOR IT ANY MORE."
They were racing down here?
"THAT'S RIGHT, RIGHT HERE IN THIS PARKING LOT."
Wait... they were drag racing in the parking lot?
"YUP, DOING DONUTS AND ALL THAT."
Ookay, have a good night...
I pulled out toward the road, where two of the rifle-carrying deputies were speaking to the suddenly pedestrian groups. Both deputies turned and moved to intercept me until the first yelled over, "He just stopped to use the ATM."
