Is it just me, or is 2008 starting to seem like a very violent year in LA to you?

Sunday, yet another senseless murder -- like if there were ever any murders that made sense, right?

A 20 year old is driving down the 101-East at 8 o'clock in the morning when he is shot in the head -- most likely from another car.

Marlon Gordillo Sical then lost control of his Honda, slammed into the sound wall and that impact sent him spinning across the freeway where he crashed into the center divider.

Why? Road rage? A stray bullet?

Who cares, it's still another act of unexplainable violence that put so many others at risk.

And when I say this has been a violent year, it's not only the crime I am talking about.

This weekend there was yet another wrong way driver on the 118 -- going east in the westbound lanes. This guy slammed right into a pickup truck killing the two people inside and himself.

Less than two weeks ago, it was another guy who did the same thing...except only he died. Oh, he did kill two cats that were in a semi-truck.

What the heck is going on? Is the moon stuck in full? Is it the year of the Rat?

What's happening? And when is it going to stop?
