Social degeneracy is never a new thing, and it can be a measure of people’s responses in society to various changes, or it can just be something unique. Since it has been a while from my last post about such news, especially in the US, and given that it is the start of the new year and how the 2020s are going to be a very interesting decade, it is with note that I put up the following story, for truth is often stranger than fiction, and the best story from the imagination can never compete with reality, as it is reality which serves at the template for all fiction stories.
According to news reports, a man who was under the influence of meth stole a truck from a porn shop while the driver was inside. What he did not know was that there was a passenger in the truck and his pet goat, who were asleep. After realizing what happened, the carjacker-kidnapper pistol whipped the man and his goat, then set them free. The now abandoned man on the side of the road called the police, reported the incident, and this turned into a three-state police chase at low speeds before the man stopped the car, got out, and ran a little in an attempt to hide in tall grass.
He had the need for speed.
An Oklahoma man on methamphetamine went on an exceptional trip Wednesday morning, Tulsa CBS affiliate KOTV reported.
First, cops say Brandon Kirby, 40, stole a pickup truck that was parked at an adult video store in Carthage, Mo., according to Tulsa FOX affiliate KOKI. The car had two passengers, one man asleep in the passenger’s seat and that man’s pet goat, chilling in the bed of the truck, but Kirby was undeterred.
The abducted man and his pet goat had been waiting in the truck while the driver went shopping inside the store, KOTV reported. When the man woke up, Kirby held him at gunpoint and pistol whipped him.

Oklahoma police then contacted OnStar, which remotely slowed the stolen truck so it was only traveling about 15 mph, KOTV reported. But Kirby refused to give up, even after driving over a spike strip that flattened the vehicle’s tires. Eventually police ended the low-speed pursuit by forcing Kirby off the road and into a ditch in Sand Springs, Okla., just more than seven miles west of Tulsa.
Kirby was arrested after a short foot chase when cops found him attempting to hide in some tall grass like a fourth-grader playing hide-and-seek.
Kirby has a lengthy criminal history and was recently released from prison, according to KOTV. At the time of his wild ride, he was wanted on burglary charges in Osage County, just north of where the chase concluded. (source)
