People v. Rushing (Cal. Ct. App. - July 20, 2011)

Here's what happens in the movies when you're driving your car and come across a group of inner city youths who are playing in the street and blocking your path.  At least if the movie is Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay.

Here's what happens in the real world when you're driving your car and come across a group of inner city youths who are playing in the street and blocking your path.  At least if you have the misfortune of politely asking them to let you through not knowing that it's "'Hood Day" and the youths are all members of the Fudge Town Mafia Crips.  First- and second-degree murder convictions affirmed.

Life sometimes does not imitate art.
