    What other supplies did the ax murderer stop for? And what “bizarre behavior” was there other than just carrying the ax? I feel like there must be more to it to have it not be dismissed, though our courts are weird right now.

    The more important point here is that the victim tried to get the murderer arrested before this happened, but unfortunately acab.

    Lawyers just doing lawyer things and identifying the deepest pockets with a connection (however tenuous) to the crime. Lyft can probably pay out better than the killer.

    Nah, I would definitely not let a guy into my car who was carrying an actual ax.
