Why I fell off the FABO Forum

It's amazing what Cops won't take reports on... Back in 1993 I was driving home from work doing 70 MPH on the crosstown freeway in Stockton Ca. when a bullet came in through my windshield & exited through the drivers door.... I wasn't gonna stop there but turned around & went back to where I worked & called the cops.... They wouldn't even come out to take a report... Told me straight out, there is zero chance of finding & prosecuting the shooter so it would only add the the already terrible crime statistics connected to Stockton Ca...

Good to hear you GTFO and life is getting better...

Back in 93 I did the same... It seems the survival instinct is strong with the Mopar brethren...

I remember a case once where a driver or their passenger was struck by a bullet on a freeway in CA. I don't remember the details, but I do vividly remember finding out that multiple cars had been hit on that stretch for YEARS and it was finally tracked to some crackpot with a chip on their shoulder. Cops had to put out info requests on the news to get old victims to come forward because no cop or highway patrol had taken any reports over those years, despite knowing it was ongoing and regular - same BS, low chance of capture and not dangerous enough (yet) to justify trying.

Glad OP acted fast and got out. The alternative is risky as all hell. Lots of beautiful places in WA, but man if there aren't millions hell bent on making it unlivable.
