I still remember which bar stool I was seated on during the spectacle later to become known as the Slow Speed Chase. (Video highlights of that chase are available if you are bored enough right now to watch it.)

It was a typical Friday night at the bar, most of the regulars were there, so the noise level was pretty high. The TV was on but no one really paid attention until someone happened to notice the continuous video of the white Bronco. We all watched in silence for the first few minutes wondering what was going on. Then little by little the beer banter started, as people speculated about a daring suicide attempt or an unanticipated crash. At times someone shouted out in frustration.... "Why don't they shoot him? Take a shot at him!"

But we watched. After all, it was LIVE TV. Anything could happen.
He might even walk free someday.
-And he did.
