MSNBC
Sunday- 9:45pm
This news article was about a man, John Butner, who, while high on crack cocaine, steals a 7up truck and leads the police on a high speed chase through San Franando Valley in Los Angeles. The police reported 7up cans flying from the truck like "missels" which broke through nearby windows and damaged objects in their path. Butner finally stopped the truck, got out, and ran down the street where he hid in a tree where police finally caught him. While this story seems very intense, it was presented on the news with a lighthearted attitude, and Butner was laughing at the things he did in a carefree way. Butner's tone as well as the reporter's tone, made this intense story humerous.
