Ninja Busted in Totally Insane North Carolina Car Accident
Call it a “Black Swan” event – something totally unexpected and not anticipated. But a genuine ninja may have committed one of the most famous (or infamous, depending on your view) North Carolina car accidents of 2011.
According to MyFOX8 News: “Greensboro police received a call around 4:43 A.M. [last Friday] after a dark gray or blue Honda crashed into [The Apple Store]. According to police, the man crashed into the store in a burglary attempt. The suspect was dressed in what a witness told 107.5 KZL resembled a ninja suit, drove through the store’s plate glass windows early Friday and then ran away without taking anything. A security guard in the store was not hurt.”
What in tarnation could a ninja want from the Apple Store?
True, some of the fancier new gadgets, like the new iPads and iPods, are extremely thin and discrete and sleek. But don’t ninjas traditionally seek out weapons like throwing stars and blades? Perhaps the ninja was seeking to retro-engineer ninja technology from Apple components? And, also, what about the subtlety aspect? Smashing a car into a storefront does not exactly match the silent-but-deadly style we have come to expect from ninjas.
All joking aside, North Carolina car accidents are generally tragic, terrifying, and often preventable events. And while it’s fun to acknowledge truly bizarre news events, like stories about guys dressing up as ninjas and crashing into store fronts – we shouldn’t let the banality and weirdness of these stories prevent us from single-mindedly pursuing a world in which there are no more North Carolina car, truck, bus, motorcycle accidents.
Indeed, the casual nature with which the media (and the blogosphere) cover accident stories is itself disturbing. When we make a light of crazy, dangerous situations, we may inadvertently make accidents seem “normal” instead of bizarre and possibly preventable tragedies.
If someone you care about has been involved in a car, motorcycle, or truck crash, a North Carolina car accident law firm can help you identify a smart strategy to seek compensation. Even if no one in your accident got “that hurt” or suffered extensive property damage, a free consultation with a reputable law firm won’t hurt and might ultimately save you lot of money and heartache.
