Caught On Tape: What Happens When A California Driver Finally Snaps

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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.

 


As AP reports,

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.

Not excusing Orozco in any way, not at all. She's quite clearly a dangerous freak.

However...

Without knowing what happened before the video, I do see daily on the LA and OC areas freeways, a lot and I mean A LOT of super-aggressive and confrontational behavior. In days gone by, my commute was just a drain on my time. Today, it's fast becoming a survival experience.

Moreover I am frequently shocked by the level of aggression I see in the college-aged kids, especially the females. A colleague of mine refers to them as "the Xena Generation:" young girls who grew up watching Hollywood's social engineering programs on TV, and believe beating down a man or multiple men is not only feasible but easy. These young women simply do not grasp, in the upside-down Brave New World our "leaders" have fabricated for them, just how THIN the veneer of civilization really is.

I suspect this is also behind the growing trend of university campus rapes and other forms of female abuse. Girls have not been taught consequences by their many years of state-directed education/indoctrination, and have been empowered by the official emasculation of the males.

Should these inequities persist, the invincible arrogance of one gender will, one day, intersect with the smoldering bitterness of the other, and all Hell will be unleashed. This is a day to fear and avoid, if at all possible.

We are heading into a new Dark Age.

Women really have no idea what +40% body muscle mass per kg means in real life because they have lived pampered existences with only Hollywoodland fiction to tell them what hitting a man is supposed to resemble in real life.

What it means, darlin', is that someone your height will knock you out cold and you will awaken wondering why you are on the ground.

Should the other person be 6foot plus, repairing your broken jaw will be in order.

That's the truth. Most women are not nearly physical enough to grasp what the differences are. My wife was a gifted body builder, and she fully admits that women generally cannot stand against men in the physical arena.

"We are heading into a new Dark Age."

Completely false, but nevertheless a very popular view on this site.  I think many ZHers are teenagers and/or adult males who were rejected by their social peers as teenagers.  This tends to create a fantasy-based perception in the rejected individual that the "world is coming to an end" -- because, like St. John, the persecuted always want to call down an apocalypse to destroy the status quo and "start over."

However, the world isn't going anywhere, and frankly, it has been getting better for most people for hundreds of years. (Actually, thousands of years, with a few retracements.)

You rejects need to get yourselves into psychoanalysis.  Buying gold is not going to fix your mommy issues.  And that's not a horseman's trumpet you just heard, it's a car horn.

Interesting. If you want this to stop you must at all costs arrest Loyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon. They have taken over the government and are paying the FEDs to attack US citizens. They are killing some of us at this time. There exists no law. You are free to do what is necessary. Will you let them kill you and your families? That is the question. You are free to do what you please and millions upon millions will support you.

May God bless.

Yeah, we've got some real looney tunes up here in Mendocino and Humboldt counties. And I'm not even including the thieving nutjobs from Silicon Valley, in San Mateo! Thank Ronnie Rayguns for closing all of the mental health institutions which housed the criminally insane. Been a lotta fun around here since '71. Gets crazier and crazier all of the time.

You know America and many Youtube Americans are totally fucked when victims such as this get zero empathy and instead ridiculed.

Also reading some of the Youtube comments I can just wish the same thing happens to those keyboard heros who when reality bites piss their little panties as they get pushed off the road, arse raped then popped with a sledge hammer.

My country was totally f'ed in 1983, when Congress approved the use of Social Security Trust funds to plug budget shortfalls. I was just a boy, but I don't recall any protests at the time. Will it be there for me in 20 years?  DOUBTFUL.

Anybody remember the 2 'crazy' broads in the UK jumping in and out of traffic, on a Freeway, getting hit, then getting up and running from police-they had nothing to say-nobody was sure where the came from-they did this for an hour or so and would reheal and get up and dodge/get hit by more cars.  Gov project escapees? it was spooky. BBC took down the videos .....it took 5 cops to hold one of them down. Meth was ruled out after they got them to a hospital for testing-were released later that day-and one tried to kill somebody  weird

This.  The only people who get free passes when they shoot and kill someone else are the cops.  Not just a free pass from justice under the law, but a LOT of paid vacation.

This policy of paid 'adminstrative leave' following every citizen murder creates a real moral hazard.

The recent murder of some pigs is frankly the inevitable response to repeated tyranny that goes without justice thru the courts.  A cop who kills a citizen should be put on unpaid suspension for at least 100 days. 

When a cop fires a round that hits a bystander, the cop should be disqualified from ever carrying a gun while on official duty.

When a SWAT-thug blows up the face of 2-year-old with a grenade as part of a 'no-knock' warrant, he should face felony charges AUTOMATICALLY.  No grand jury, straight to trial.

This rule should also apply whenever a cop kills a citizen when they are in their own home and there is a lack of video-documented 'knock-and-announce.'

The fuckwads who are now calling for greater citizen support of thugcops and greater empathy need to acknowledge the tyranny and crimes that cops are committing, and address the law enforcement procedures that lead to these tyrannies and citizen deaths.

Until then, I will stir the pot like a witch on Halloween.

I disagree with most of what you wrote.

However, one statistic that you mention that most people don't know is that when a cop fires his weapon in public, 11% of the time, he hits the wrong person -- a bystander, an innocent.  When a private citizen (non-LEO) uses his weapon, he only hits the wrong person (a non-perp) 2% of the time.

That's a 550% difference in error rate.

In other words, by the numbers, you are safer around armed citizens than around cops.

How many reflexive chicken-shit anti-gun pansies know this?

In fairness to the cops, they're usually engaged in far trickier/confusing situations.  But the numbers do not lie.  Facts are friendly.  Adjust your worldviews accordingly.

It reminds people that there are crazy people on the road.  And despite the terror, they handled the situation correctly.  And it was nice to see the female law enforcement officer at the end.  All females in the incident.  I thought it was a great post despite all the angry male replies in the thread.

One example of common occurance: last week at a 4 way stop, I go and the woman to the left felt it was her intersection so proceeded to almost ram me and hammer the horn.  So i stop and sit so no one can move to give her some reflection time.  Again, a woman, what could she do? Start a fight with a man or even if it was another skank how does she assume there is no weapon in the truck.  Typically these people that go around acting tough are not, because those of us that have delt lessons know they are to be avoided if possible.....but if neccessary I go full Irish.

You don't know whether she had a weapon in the truck either.  You are free to refer to those in the female world as "another skank."  Freedom of speech allows people to identify themselves and tag themselves through their speech.  Maybe you are not aware of it, but in the view of many you just tagged yourself as trash.

A. Weapon or not, should women go into public starting confrontations even if they are armed?

B. A lady acts like a lady, if not she is lesser than.  In which case you describe people of lower moral value with discriminating terms.  I've never known a lady who would act like that.

C. You don't represent the view of many, so when you chime in remember its the voice of a sole simpleton.
