The contractor says on the CSLB website that they have no employees and are exempt from worker’s comp requirements. Who were the four guys in the truck? Who were the guys in the BMW? Where was the job site? Was there a building permit? And a seven digit CSLB number is never a good sign.


The real juice is half a life ago that proprietor was involved in distro or trafficking narcotics. Sentence was around a decade?.. and came back way before then

Could also be completely random


Impressive sized hole in that door!


Not saying what the BMW did was right, is it possible the driver of the truck performed some action that the BMW didn’t take well?


So, you shoot at them?!?


Possibly


valid question, and I was wondering the same. Was this a road rage incident or something more personal ? or just a totally random shooting?
