As bad as the dirt bag is, and he deserves to be dumped, back across the border, in pieces, the DemonRat politicians and their supporters are far worse, because they allow this, when they should instead be protecting the American citizens. Yet neither the drit bags, nor their “sponsors” ever really pay for their crimes!
I saw the lead up to this storyline, Chris. Let’s hope that Jack swerves out of the way and MS13 drunken douchebag ends his life by rolling over multiple times.
Hopefully with the engine still running…….and even more hopefully not in ‘park’!

I learned long ago when writing up reports on fatal accidents that drunks, stoners, and dementia sufferers all have one thing in common.
When they’re behind the wheel and they see a parked car, they will aim their car at it, because in their distorted perceptions, it is in motion and in their lane. Therefore, they have to “follow it”.
Yes, this is why in a highway traffic stop, troopers stop the cruiser two or three car lengths behind the car they’re writing up. When, not if, the cruiser gets rear-ended, there’s a chance it won’t be shoved into the car in front of it.
Stopping the cruiser two to three feet closer to the edge of the asphalt gives the trooper at least some protection from being hit by a careless driver while standing next to the other vehicle.
Of course, none of this is much help when the oncoming driver is going 100MPH+ in full-on YouTube LookaMeee! mode.
The most you can hope for is that he’ll go airborne right over the cruiser like something out of a movie. Which is apparently happening more and more frequently these days.
Zed will kill everyone even remotely involved. Looking back over the years at what he has done, who he knows and what he is capable of…and someone hurts or kills his daughter? Not even Sam could hold him back, and would she even try?
I have had to respond to several accidents like that. The worst was on the B-W Parkway back in ’74. A Southbound Drunk found the one spot in the median with no trees, and crossed into the Northbound side. Had a head-on with the first car, and 15 more chain-reaction collisions followed. Ambulances from 3 Counties responded. Mine made 3 trips with double loads. 64 total injuries, the miracle was no one died, and the Drunk wasn’t scratched. I saw some disfigurements that still haunt my dreams, especially a 12-year old girl who went face-first into a dashboard.
Would that have been around the Powder Mill Rd. interchange?

My worst was in an Air Force Emergency Room. Seems their painkiller injections just didn’t seem to work well. Indications were, some perp was hitting the ER drug cabinet and stealing some, replacing it with saline. While under cover as ceiling repair crew (in the 24-hr ER) we covertly installed a pinhole camera watching the cabinet. While installing it, a toddler was brought in with injuries requiring said painkiller — which didn’t work. Doc used max dose to no avail. His screams still haunt me…tearin’ up as I type. I wanted to flay the SOB perp. Stil do.

MS-13 Butthead will(Barely) Survive.
Jack and Kiko will suffer some injuries, of the whiplash variety, but will recover.
Baby is an unknown.
The Owens and Tucker Families(Won’t say ‘Clan,’ because you know DNC/PLD douchebag spies are everywhere) and affiliates establish a No-Go zone specifically targeting MS-13 and their affiliates for twenty five miles up and down their section of border, to include raids into Mexico. Zed likely knows a few Ghurka regimental lads, and what they can do with a Kukti is the stuff of nightmares and legend.
WW II, these boys delighted in sneaking into Japanese lines, and killing the sentries on post. Nothing else. Come the time to change sentries out, the Japanese would find their sentries, sitting crossed legged, with their heads in their laps.
The same can be done with an authentic Bowie Knife. Accept no substitutes! 😉

Years ago, we rolled up on what was dispatched as a multi vehicle accident on the interstate. Cars were scattered all over the place.
Turned out a flat-bed loaded with autos for scrapping had over turned. If I remember, the only serious injuries were in the car that had cut him off.

An illegal alien driving drunk is enraging because it is a tragedy that wouldn’t happen if our federal government did one of the few defined jobs it has. But they won’t. Neither side of the aisle. That’s one of the reasons I support the busing of illegal crossers to blue cities. They want’em, let then deal with them.
But…..and in addition….
Drunken driving by anybody can and does kill innocent people on a weekly basis.
Being here illegally exacerbates the problem with DUI. He will have no drivers license or insurance. He will not be able to pay for any damage he causes.
The same situation occurs with people not here illegally, too.
Shades of The Sopranos. I’ve been reading the strip from the beginning and have always enjoyed the humor. But like Doonesbury, as the characters grow with the times, reality overshadows the satire. And reality is not always fun as we aging boomers know too well
I concur… Every reader of this strip knows about reality. Some, possibly, firsthand.
Two days before she graduated high school, my wife, a friend, and her two younger sisters were in her Toyota Corolla. A sober teenage asshole in a 70s Impala ran a stop sign and t-boned her. My wife and one of her sisters spent two months in the hospital. Her youngest sister died at the scene.
Many, many years later we went to Disneyworld and were on the GM Test Track ride. Just before you exit the building portion to the track, a second ‘vehicle’ comes out of nowhere at a high rate of speed and stops just short of an actual collision. My wife lost it.
It’s like preachers who rail against abortion from the pulpit and don’t take the possibility that they may have someone in the congregation who may have had one in the past, with no mention of grace and forgiveness. She experienced that too.
Sometimes, too much ‘reality’ ain’t a good thing.
My wish: Witness to Tucker: “When I drove up it was afire, two old cowboys were gettin the kids out, the grey haired one the girl, the other-un the boy. I bent down and got my extinguisher, and when I looked up, the the kids were safe on the ground. The old cowboys were just…gone.{ cred to riding with private…}
Just some observations about crashes from an automotive engineer, got to be the rep for our company that was party to a NHTSA crash investigation in Uvalde TX. F-350 duallie hits church bus head on, closing speed of 135mph. 13 dead, one survivor in the bus and the high driver who crossed the center lane. He got 13 max sentences for vehicular manslaughter. (front bumper was in the third row of the church bus). He’ll be out in 2145 if he lives that long.
On a personal note, I was in a sitting still ’88 Honda civic that was rear ended by a Ford F550 super truck at about 40mph, seat back delatched and I shot out from under the belts and played pachinko ball for a few seconds. energy transfer is a bitch.
On another note we had 3 ’64 caddy sedan devilles growing up (Dad liked them). Built like tanks but the rear trunk lid is going to act like a ski ramp. a sedan deville would deflect the perp right off the roof but a convertible will have two decapitations unless they are canoodling on the seats. I can testify that that is totally possible in a ’64 Caddy front seat and even easier in the rear. Hopefully they were celebrating!
3rd panel view is from under a vehicle looking past a differential.. meaning you are looking at the back of the other vehicle from under the back of another. Was this a near miss after the vehicles had passed each other?
I think that might be the front differential on a 4WD Pickup/SUV. If so, it looks like it’s lined up for a dead-center rear-ender! May St. Michael cover the kids with his shield!
i.e., she’s on top, Jack’s below and she’ll be ducking in a fraction of a moment given that look on her face with the view from under the oncoming vehicle passing neatly overhead
I lost a friend and my daughter to terrorists in Italy in 1983. Train incident. I took me 2 years to get to Europe, and three more weeks to settle my score. After that, I was in Panama, Fort Sherman, then a few other places not known for TDY, but with options in and out. I will die a justified father.
Tucker’s Caddy is not just off on the shoulder of the road, and parallel, it is at an angle, pointing about fifteen degrees to the right. Jorge hits the rear, the car is going to do a hard right turn.

One good thing about that caddy is it has about 20 feet of steel between the back bumper and the front seat
And it’s steel
Unfortunately, it has no headrests and a rear mounted gas tank.
God help this illegal Caballero, if he (,A) sur Ives, and (B) Zed gets to him before Tucker….you know ow how to yank the heartstrings, Chris…
Kinda doubt Tucker would get in his way.
As bad as the dirt bag is, and he deserves to be dumped, back across the border, in pieces, the DemonRat politicians and their supporters are far worse, because they allow this, when they should instead be protecting the American citizens. Yet neither the drit bags, nor their “sponsors” ever really pay for their crimes!
There are volumes of Reality in those five simple panels.
I saw the lead up to this storyline, Chris. Let’s hope that Jack swerves out of the way and MS13 drunken douchebag ends his life by rolling over multiple times.
From your mouth to the artist’s ear…
The caddy is parked on the side of the road.

They are sitting still.

I would be more scared of Sam
…wait a minute. If he goes after everyone involved… that would include us since we are watching it unfold on these panels…
I really don’t like this. It is far too familiar.
Looks like banger’s been taken care of. Wonder if this is a friendly bearing down on the Caddy.
Think Gunpowder is gonna declare war.
The black panel says it all. I hope the baby survives.
An unfortunate reality is that drunks often survive wrecks that would kill the sober by virtue of being fully relaxed.

You know, people think Slavery in the US is Illegal, but it isn’t if you read the Constitution real carefully… 😈
I believe the wording is about criminals facing Servitude…

Well, POS is passed out, so not targeted I guess. And the “angle of attack” is favorable for our young heroes. They’re gonna be alright.
Chris, if you kill anyone in that Caddy…
Shit happens. Reality bites. God save the children…all 85,000 of them.
I’m not going to like this arc, am I?
This showed up this morning. Hoping for a hero…

I’m thinking he did a rim shot off the front left corner of the FedEx truck going the other way and went airborne.
Mari’s expression indicates that she either heard the BANG or saw the movement in her peripheral vision, or both.
There are few things worse than realizing that you’re on the bullseye when there’s two tons of incoming addressed to “occupant” coming your way.

Add St Gerard Majella for Kiko and her baby
Sometimes I hate being right, and in this case I hope I’m wrong.
I also suspect she’s about to become a widow before having the wedding…that passed out gang banger is going to hit the drivers side.
Wondering what the strip’s title suggests…
i.e., she’s on top, Jack’s below and she’ll be ducking in a fraction of a moment given that look on her face with the view from under the oncoming vehicle passing neatly overhead
We’ll see…*Fingers crossed*
As a father who lost a young daughter (age 23 when she passed back in 2017) I’m kinda feeling sick to my stomach…
No Dawgs in the trunk to protect against gangbangers or false FedEx drivers?
