Caught On Tape: What Happens When A California Driver Finally Snaps
In the idyllic foothills of the Sierras amid the forested beauty of Tahoe National Forest, it appears the California drought finally got to Deirdre Orozco. As the following crazy clip shows, the 50-year-old Santa Clara woman went full Mad Max on two young female drivers after they reportedly made "a rude gesture" to Orozco after she had been tailgating. The dramatic cellphone video of the event has ended with Orozco being charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of false imprisonment, unlawful use of a badge, reckless driving and resisting arrest. Happy Holidays America.
A Northern California woman made her first court appearance Tuesday after a road rage incident was captured in a dramatic cellphone video that showed a vehicle forcing a car off a mountain highway.
Two women frantically called the California Highway Patrol on Saturday afternoon to report that they were being repeatedly cut off by the driver of a Ford Explorer Sport Trac pickup truck on Interstate 80, about 60 miles northeast of Sacramento.
"She just hit our car, she just hit our car. She's pushing us off of the road. Yes, she's pushing us off the road. She's coming for us," passenger Delanie Strykul tells a CHP dispatcher on the video, her voice shaking. "Please help us."
The video shows the Explorer forcing their Mazda onto the shoulder as the Mazda's driver screams.
"I could not believe this was real. I was sitting there going, 'This has to be a joke,'" Strykul told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
...
The suspect, Deirdre Orozco, 50, of Santa Clara, was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of false imprisonment, unlawful use of a badge, reckless driving and resisting arrest.
She was held in lieu of $250,000 bail and was due back in court Friday after pleading not guilty to multiple charges from two incidents days apart.
Happy Holidays America, and don't forget to BTFATH.

Like OMG, Like yeah...
Acute Lithium Deficiency Syndrome.
LOL ~ It's like that scene with Gene Wilder (Eugene Grizzard) in 'Bonnie & Clyde'
Passenger is smokin hot.
Truck driver resented her.
Delanie Strykul
Looks like she's practicing getting arrested
The whack-job had just been released from jail earlier in the day for a similar incident... Time to lock her up and throw away the key... And the US closed all their sanitariums for what reason? Oh yeah, it's cheaper to let the nut cases walk amongst us...
I heard they just put them in prison with the normals.
You are freaking out, man. - Super Troopers
Meow.
I hope they enjoyed their unarmed cultural enrichment. I bet that's what they voted for!
GOOD THING MY DAUGHTERS KNOW REX-KWON-DO....
LOL Getting out in front of a car filled with panicked bitches is kinda risky behaviour, the situation coulda solved itself.
Coulda means shoulda.
Forget Rex Kwon Do, I usually resort to Roscoe Can Do.
Reaching out and touching things from as far away as is possible is always a better option.
DaddyO
People get so concerned about being protected from second hand smoke, but totally ignore the consequences of being around second hand crazy. It's way past time to bring back mental hospitals.
Running out of Darwin Award nominees yet?
Goodness, I just saw the video at last. Now all the comments in this thread are 100x funnier.
Go Back To The Bay.com!
The crazy bitch was from Santa Clara, theey probably parked the new Niners stadium in her backyard. These aren't Tahoe locals, paaleaze.
I feel for Tahoe locals who are folked by Bay Areans. One of my good homies, born and raised in Tahoe, told me about the word GAPER (Guaranteed Accident Prone on Every Run, for everyone else). I believe it's a title extended to all annoying tourists, and not just skiers.
Saw a "Drink Tahoe Brew" bumper sticker the other day in Santa Clara (LOL).
the SanJo metro area gets douchier and douchier by the year. one day soon it will be as bad as LA.
still, the further you travel away from the coast, the more country everything (and everyone) gets. and with country folk comes country justice of a perceived wrong, which is to say, face-to-face violence.
those chicks in a panic must have grown up where everything is settled by mediation, usually the 'protect and serve' team. they'll be the 1st to become sex slaves when desolation finally arrives in Amer'ka.
Mary Christ Mass ZHers...
It's going to be a whacky year ahead....the year volunteers get con-scripted.
Con-scripted.....get it? Get with and IN the script, for the play.
Only, it's for realz.
It's not about these girls and their panic (which I can totally understand, all this glock-talk not-withstanding)...
It's the rot that is running deep, that used to be sub-surface, but is now breaking BAAAAD!

I think Wez was a looker compared with this one.
i know that look. she owns out of the money SPY puts
Never go to the mountain (means the slopes for you low landers) on holidays. Basic knowledge of those at the lake.
Tahoe brew indeed. There is a great brewery in Truckee, Tahoe Mountain Brewing. They venture beyond typical US microbrew styles, into the sour realm. Good shit. Highly recommend it.
Skiing is too friggin' 'spensive anymore. Cuts into my beer money.
Elmer Keith's good old flat-nosed lead .357Mag. Can Do. Will do. Always does. No return complaints.
for a moment the driver had a nice opening to run her down breaking bad style. personally, my foot was right to the metal
I teach my kid spin-foo. It consists of 6 dozen ways to throat punch.
Great work by the young ladies.
Another bully ‘vigilant’ in jail.
Welcome to the culture that is small-town California. The Mother Lode region has some epic crazies. Besides she's probably pissed because people are still talking about a drought when last week she (and I) spent all day looking for sandbags to stop the floods but there was no sand left, anywhere. I've got a bucket in my side yard with a normal year's worth of precipitation in it from the last month alone so stop with the rain dances for a bit please.
She was a runner-up for the lead role in “Falling Down” but Michael Douglas beat her out in the end.

Prendergast was speaking from a position of inferiority, in his mind. Dad was an engineer, and the endgame is framed in this context. Don't forget that.
We say there's no social strata in the US but there is.
Funny, I thought his most memorable quote was something about turning off the lights and lighting a candle.
Plenty of sand at the beach Fred.
It's probably a crime to take it.
indeed it is. the state actually pays to replace the sand the ocean washes away in SoCal, so every grain of sand is, like, state property.

Plenty of Epic Crazy to go around these days, pretty much everywhere.

What's the problem, meow? You think this is funny, meow? Look here, meow. Lol best movie ever..
Why has ZH stooped to reporting on white trash episodes like some supermarket rag at the checkout line?
it's bigger than that, sadly. this issue has wide ranging implications.
1) It shows the attitude of some cops that makes people hate cops.
2) It's more entertaining than what's on the teeeeeveeeeee.
Just watch the the police supporters say that before the video started the girls threw out 2 kilos of Bolivia's finest out of the window.
holiday edition
That bitch ain't white.

But then, the other driver? Well, look for yourself. On left.

Fishy, very fishy, 'dude'.

Well, two of them are lab experiments gone wrong i think, but the passenger is hot.
ZH is giving us this because it is the only verifiable news of the day...all the financial is just made up...this has video. No 'authority' is allowed to answer any questions anymore either....when did Obee last answer a random question?
I looked up an expanded version of the story. Tyler left out a few juicy parts.
“I definitely regret flipping her off,” said Strykul, a 2012 Miss California candidate. “I’m not proud of that.”
The dispatcher eventually instructed the two women to exit at Dutch Flat, where an awaiting officer at a service station (donut shop?) came to their aid. Orozco followed them into the gas station, where CHP officers initiated an enforcement stop.
The Explorer driver, later identified as Orozco, continued to a relative’s house in Roseville, and allegedly threw large rocks through a front window while threatening the residents with bodily harm. The family called police.

Where's your Christmas spirt?
Don't be such a putz.
She might be angry due to a severe case of hair loss.
1/2 decent ending....cops are rarely this available.
NOTE to your daughters.
1) YOUR REVERSE GEAR IS YOUR FRIEND...know how to use it, practice it, and get good at it.
2) In a true worst case scenario....you must be willing to use your car as a weapon.
Soon as that crazy bitch gets out of her truck, make her a greasy spot on the pavement. The end.
The CHP wasn't 'on the spot', they drove to their office...
NOTE to your daughters.
1) YOUR GOOD REAR IS YOUR FRIEND...know how to use it, practice it, and get good at it.
2) In a true worst case scenario....you must be willing to use your boobs as a weapon.
...and willing to use both for a paycheck.
nah that would have been murder. if she got out carrying a weapon , and threatened you, it could be considered self defence running her down
Like they say in Papua New Guinea, if you're driving in the boonies, and hit someone... don't stop.
Define "normal?"
Oh, so NOW you want the cops help? She was probably at a Ferguson protest a week ago.
I know I'm getting slammed for that comment, but I couldn't help it. It's the first thing that popped into my head.
Found some pictures of the driver and passenger on the interwebs. Pretty sure I've seen them both on youjizz.com
NoDebt: Fucking AWESOME dude!
... or at least MetArt (though they've got some pretty high standards). The both look like porn stars in the making... not regular stars, mind you, their noses and chins... but porn stars don't have to be that pretty.
green arrow for you sir
These two 'dudes' with the broken windshield and a vivid explitive every other word sound like real winners.
I know...Out of one side of the mouth "police are too brutal, they need to stop using violence" ...and the other side "someone violent is attacking me, police stop them!'
Some people are too separated from the reality that people are dangerous animals. All people: black, white, brown, red and yellow. We are just hairless apes with shoes and advanced language skills. Me included.
The most dangerous predator on this planet! And evil. And police every day has to deal with the sickest of our species!
I'm sorry I thought you were a lamb in disgust with that avatar of yours but I guess I was wrong.
Thought Experiment...
If people are dangerous animals, what is the logic behind allowing some of those animals to possess guns, grant them the monopoly priviledge to initiate force within a geographic region, and give them the right order everybody else around? What is the logic behind allowing all the other animals to chose their masters via the ballot box?
Some animals are more equal than others.
Had the same thoughts.
I am also wondering why no one recognizes that the video begins after something obviously already had happened? Does nobody want to know what happened before, before making conclusions?
Who is driving with a car with such a huge split in the window?
And how fucking disgusting dirty the trousers are.
And last but not least: stopping at a police car but not opening the window? Also a very strange behaviour.
My gut feeling tells me that something is not as it seems and we only have heard one half of the story.
Looks like it's not the first time she's been hit from behind.

Zombie apocalypse.
"FRESH BRAINS!!!"
Wouldn't have had much of a feed on those two though.
Well, I guess that was the FAP for the day. I suppose I'd better go try & do something productive now.
Winning strategy would be to trap the zombies in Sacramento (or Washinton DC), where they will starve.
That is why you carry a concealed weapon. No need to call the police.
Always remember, double-tap to be sure...
Anybody worth shooting once is worth shooting twice.
Aside from cliche sayings, you should remember that unless central nervous system damage is great enough to make it impossible for a person to carry on, even a shot to the heart does not guarantee that you are instantly out of danger. A person can carry on for 5-15 seconds if the damage is localized to the heart. OTOH, if you carry something big enough, a shot to the heart can blow out blood vessels in the brain, causing that central nervous system damage. The smallest thing that you might expect this to happen from is going to be a 357SIG or a 357mag. Sorry, 45ACP fans. You are relegated to using penetration as your measure of effectiveness, not ballistic pressure waves.
Speaking of penetration.....anyone else feel the skull cap zombie appear to be Saturday nite dating material?
With a long enough dry spell and beer goggles even a California Sasquatch starts looking sexy.
Ooooohhh.......me so horny!
Yeah..
I fuck her long time..
"Over-penetrattion ?" WTF. There's no such thing as over-penetration. Two holes is better than one. Right ?
Or at least learn the PIT maneuver. Screw defensive driving. Road rage requires a little bit of active reaction, not passive. I'd have defended the extension of my home with a little paint sharing. If my car was already going to be messed up by the crazy person, I'd be all in.
Exactly. I've had them do everything thing this nut did except actually hit me. Once they hit you, and you have it on camera, the jury's gonna let you go. That is, if the DA's dumb enough to press charges.
Your point is well taken however without a CCW in CA (very rare in terms of population permit ratio) you would do more time than the perp.
"That is why you carry a concealed weapon. No need to call the police."
It's better that "certain" individuals aren't carrying concealed or otherwise. It's just what the antigun tribe foam-at-the-mouth over.
That's also why you don't cut people off in merika or rudely gesture to them. You may make their day.
FU
If everyone carried a weapon crime would go way down. That crazy biitch would know it 2 against 1 and she would have thought twice about getting out of the car, unless she had a death wish, then we would have 1 less person sucking off the welfare tit.
so why not go all-in and arm grade-schoolers? then there would be no more school yard bullying.
Exactly...I would have given anything for a 357mag when I was in 7th grade...fuckers!
Seriously, civilization has understood the need to control kids until they reach some age of responsibility, but on the other hand, it wasn't all that unusual to see teens with guns in the back window of their pickup when I was in school.....or was that a buckboard wagon...I forget.
Ultimately we have a choice in this world. We can embrace the risks, educate our children to understand and respect them. Or we can cram ourselves inside a bubble of government legal structures to attempt to protect us, and just hope and pray that they are not inept, indifferent or down right evil.
I would prefer to take my chances with clarity of risk and the responsibility for my security in my own hands.
I couldn't resist up-voting you. because a.) i'm a stone .357mag. freak, and b.) my step-father gave my step-sister a .25acp auto. to carry in her purse when she went to the same High School I did, in Oakland, Calif. a few years later. Our part of Oakland was undergoing "multi-culturalizatiion"; and after t he first rape attempt by a zpear chucker he ordered her to carry, every day. He was reserve Capt. in the Sherrif's Dept. and we did as we were told.
a .380 would have been a much better rape stopper concealed. just sayin
This x1000. .Gov isn't capable of writing law that will end violent crime, and their stormtroopers aren't capable of protecting you from violent crime. Furthermore, the more extensive and intrusive .gov becomes, the more likley they are to abuse their power.
The logical conclusion is to educate and train yourself and your family in the proper use of firearms, including how to handle them to minimize risk.
I saw one woman blustering up at two women. They should have got out of the car and had a catfight, kept the video rolling and tear at each others clothes and stuff.
No boolits needed.
On the Interstate it is best to behave...LOTS of witnesses....
I recognize that woman. She's Obama's next in line for TSA chief.
Dude (ette?)., the be-aach is like (rising terminal inflection) totally crazy?
Wow.. HRT..
Just learned my something new for they day
Now I can really start drinking.
Thanks dude!
It’s really interesting to note how, after the “Valley Girl” fad the HRT just wormed its way into the wider vernacular.
Once you are tuned into it, it is amazing to see how many highly educated and/or public personalities express declarative sentences with the intonation of questions.
Whoa, and I thought I was the only one to notice this plague! It's quite irritating to hear someone make a statement, but intone it like it was a question!
It seems to me that this practice suggests a lack of confidence in the veracity of the statement or is an unconsciously implied request for acknowledgement, approval or agreement.
Ironizing, man. It's a killer
Gestures don't kill people, people do.
Wow. They have to drive around to find a cop and beg the dispatcher for help.
When seconds count, a cop is 5 exits down the interstate sitting at a Union 76 drinking coffee and running a speed trap.
If this had been in SC, GA, FL, TX - it would have been called target practice.
Welcome to the Peoples Republic of California. In spite of it all I still do love it here. 4th Generation N CA.
Amen brother....the South is rising again! Don't forget rural NC.........she would have been "range practice kill"
It has been and continues to be a legal defense in NC;
He (She, It) needed killing, your Honor.
Dismissed
Didn't Orosco used to pitch for the Mets ?????
We don't call it the Gun Shine state for nothing...
DaddyO
Yeah I missed a few states. My apologies. Even Eastern WA and OR are pretty gun friendly.

men?
Police...men?
You know she is twice dicvorced, probably had fake boobs 15 years ago, was drinking before noon, hates the world, so just your typical middle aged California woman.
Um, American woman. With more on the way!
<----- Off her meds
<----- On her meds
Or just plain psycho. She's a NWO model citizen in any case.
Judging from the mugshot, She's gone 'round the twist!
Some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as South Africa and the Iraq everywhere such as.
"Folks"--Some folks out there don't have folk maps--- like that.
Totally! ya ne?
"Like OMG, Like yeah..."
Uh I think you mean "Like OMG like awesome like she just like y'know lost it"
"...it appears the California drought finally got to Deirdre Orozco."
Always fun to see Tyler try and make a joke and just seeing it fall flat on it's face. I mean seriously, was this funny when you typed it?!
In Tyler's defense, the mugshot makes it look like she hasn't washed her hair in awhile.
Maybe some of those Saudi driving restrictions make more sense than I gave them credit for.
Nancy Pelosi
Happy Holidays!
Fuck The Interview, now this is theatre!
I'm glad they're ok.
i blame it on the drought, people gettin mighty thirsty
What was she going to drink.....blood?
Good way to get killed.
And I was all like NO WAY
Um. I know, riiiight?
As if...
OMG I LOL'd.
KEEP CALM
..and write the teenyboppers a ticket for the cracked windshield and reckless driving,
Why the Second Amendment exists.
Another third world driver with a criminal record causing havoc, who knew.

“She said she had been trying to get arrested, she’s been driving 100 miles an hour the whole way from San Jose. What can I do to get arrested… she said, ‘what can I do to get arrested?'” Larsson told us Monday evening.
She should have tried blackface.
"She should have tried blackface."
she wanted to get arrested, not shot
Yes, if she had wanted to get shot, she would need to drive blackface in a black neighborhood. She wasn't in the right neighborhood.
...
Well, thats what you get for driving a little underpowered piece of shit...
I can think of three people just off the top of my head, that would have shot the woman dead in the first 30 seconds of that altercation.
In the arcade of life, you only get ONE quarter.
When she got out, I'd have run her over, assuming I didn't have a gun.
I got a little caught up in the hype and was yelling at the monitor "Run that bitch over!!".
I know, I was all like, you know, TOTALLY doing the same thing.
If I were ever in a car with those two my dick would be saying yes but my head would be saying kill me now.
LOL Thread winner!
Damn, that is funny....i don't care who you are.
+1 for the subjunctive.
Just a few weeks ago, 100 yards or so from where I sit here in CA, a guy got cut off pulling out of a gas station, he backed up to the pumps to have a word with the 18-year old who cut him off, and the kid put a bullet in his head. Guy is dead, kid looking at most or all of life in prison. All caught on surveillance video.

And here's how they caught the kid after a week or so:
