“An Oregon SWAT team would ultimately find him trying to make his getaway on bicycle with two flat tires while wearing a Ricky Bobby costume, as in, the Will Ferrell character from ‘Talladega Nights’”

When a black GMC pickup swerved through traffic and blew through a stop sign, a self-appointed local hero gave chase. It was a Tuesday evening in rural Clackamas County, Oregon, and the self-appointed hero floored the accelerator as he sped after the pickup, dialing 911 and doing his damned best to get a good look at the license plate number.

At some point, the driver of the GMC noticed he was being followed. He slammed on the brakes, skidded the pickup to a stop and blocked the roadway. Then, according to news reports, he pulled a gun and aimed it out of the open driver’s side window. He proceeded to squeeze off a few rounds at the self-appointed hero, who dove for cover.

The shots missed him. And since it was rural Oregon, when the self-appointed hero popped back up, he had a rifle in his hands.

He took aim and returned fire. The two vehicles were now in a full-on shootout. Neither driver, however, was hit by the gunfire, and eventually, the black GMC sped off.

1. Rural America, 1921. Guns, Pick-ups and Trump.

Good guys vs. Bad guys. Stand your group and, if you see any protesters, run them over. This is the Republican vision of 21st Century America-ca.
