A video camera recorded what happened next as DeAngelo Mitchell told his brother he couldn't afford another strike against him and that he needed his brother to eat the cocaine he had in his possession.
'You gonna eat it, you gonna chew it,' DeAngelo Mitchell tells his brother.
'You ain't got no strike... I can get you out... I can't afford another strike.'
Mitchell then appears to hand off the cocaine, which was stuffed in his buttocks, to his brother.
'One of us gotta do it,' Mitchell said.
'You the only one that don't have no strikes... You my lil' brother... I'm gonna get life... You gonna unwrap it? Want me to hand you it?'
According to police, Wayne Mitchell then ate the cocaine.

I wonder what the rate of spontaneous (non-accident-related) thermal excursions is for all mass-produced electric vehicles, and how it compares to the rate for non-electric vehicles.
Normally, this is not the sort of question I would even think to ask, except that earlier this year, one of my employees' cars (a non-hybrid diesel BMW 5) caught fire in the parking lot a few hours after having been parked. The fire seems to have originated from within the dashboard on the passenger side.
Thousands of years ago, the first man discovered how to make fire. He was probably burned at the stake he had taught his brothers to light. He was considered an evildoer who had dealt with a demon mankind dreaded. But thereafter men had fire to keep them warm, to cook their food, to light their caves. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had lifted darkness off the earth. Centuries later, the first man invented the wheel. He was probably torn on the rack he had taught his brothers to build. He was considered a transgressor who ventured into forbidden territory. But thereafter, men could travel past any horizon. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had opened the roads of the world.

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received - hatred. The great creators - the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors - stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.
