The car on the road at night/the car being followedIt is a dark and misty night. A car is being pursued by several other cars which have no lights on. Inside of the pursued car sits 2 young white boys in company of a young black man. The black man looks nervously around. Suddenly the pursuing cars start to bump the rear of the pursued car. The pursued car turns away from the road, into a forest. All of the pursuing cars turn their lights on, and it appears that one of the pursuing cars is a cop. The pursued car pulls over. A lot of men with bright flashlights surround the pursued car. A man starts talking, and a few seconds later the driver of the pursued car has a gun pointed at his forehead. A second later the forest is filled with gunshots. The silent screams of young men are to be heard by no one besides the pleased murderers.
