I watch every episode of On Patrol Live and have come to the following conclusion:

Stolen UHauls will always be found at Walmart.

If you're an auto-theft investigator, you're welcome for the tip.

Why are they allowed a capacity of 40 gallons when all they need is 10 gallons or better yet need to be all electric to save the earth.

I think U-Hauls have more lethal firepower when used as a moving truck. Ryder trucks are better for use as an explosive. Maybe we can get a government agency to spend $1b on a study to determine which is deadlier.

Nobody needs a 40 gallon tank!
If the pay's right, and it's legal, I'll do it...Well, if the pay's right, I'll do it.

Might be close on that study budget.

Why are the racist police/media assuming he did this on purpose? Maybe he's just a bad driver, and needs a driver's ed training class.

A lunatic intentionally striking people would have been prevented if folks would've just let us regulate U-Haul into upgrading their trucks' brakes!

BAY RIDGE, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A 62-year-old man is in police custody after allegedly driving a U-Haul through Brooklyn and mowing down several pedestrians.

The suspect, Weng Sor, is believed to be homeless and may have been living in the U-Haul truck.

When police attempted to pull him over he said "shoot me, I'm not stopping" and that he "wanted to die."

After striking several people in Bay Ridge police were able to surround the U-Haul in Red Hook and take Sor into custody.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

U-Haul and white supremacy.

A bad combination.

It's been 30 years since the Twin Tower bombing and 28 years since Oklahoma. How much more time is needed?

I don't recall any part of the Bill of Rights saying thall shall not infringe on the right to drive a U-Haul (or Ryder) truck.

All the more reason to pass reasonable U-Haul controls.

I remember wondering why there was thunder on a clear morning, and my knees shook.
