#2  More likely if the assailants did not end up dead in this case. Stand your ground should apply for Ohio truckers.

#1  Dayyum. For years now I've been sleeping in my vehicle at Ohio truckstops, figuring with all the lights and people I would be unlikely to get into trouble. This incident draws attention to all the vehicles parked at truck stops with or without the driver inside. All too easy for a couple to dodge police pursuers, zig zag through a parking lot, force their way into an idling vehicle, perhaps abduct the driver and hijack the vehicle. I wonder if this will catch on.
