This morning's chaos on I-80 is just another reminder that our roads can be unpredictable, you know? 
A guy attacking cars on the highway? That's just crazy talk! 
The cops gotta take action, but it's frustrating for people stuck in traffic. Long delays are no joke, especially considering everything else going on in the area. I feel bad for commuters trying to get to work or school... 
.
.
. A guy attacking cars with a weapon? That's just insane! 
I'm sure it's super frustrating for all those commuters who are stuck in traffic. Like, I get that safety is important, but what's going on here?! 
It's like the news always comes at the worst times, don't you think? Just when you're trying to start your day and get to work... anyway, hope everything gets sorted out soon 
.
. Remember when Google Maps first came out and we could get real-time traffic updates? It made such a big difference. Now it feels like every little accident or police incident is causing massive chaos. And to think, just yesterday I was talking to my friend who lives in San Jose about how crazy the commute has been lately... 
. Can't they just give us some actual info instead of just saying "police activity" or "investigation"? Like, what's going on exactly? Is it a hostage situation? Did someone get hurt? Give us something to work with here.
. Who attacks cars on the highway?!?! It's just so reckless and irresponsible... and now we're paying the price with all these delays. Just hours after that shooting in San Jose, and another incident like this? It's like our city is just asking for trouble. I feel so frustrated and worried about my commute to work today 
and honestly the whole east bay is a mess - cant believe someone had to resort to attacking cars on the highway, like what even is that? 
- thanks for nothing, universe 
Can't they just figure out what's going on and reopen the highway already? 
And another thing, why do these incidents always happen at 7 am when most people are trying to commute to work? 
I swear, it's like the universe is conspiring against us to make our daily lives more complicated 
. It's like, you're just trying to get to work or wherever and then BAM, traffic backup. And it's not just that - it's also a really scary situation with the police activity and stuff. You don't want to be driving around when there's a man attacking cars on the highway... that's just crazy 
. And with all the other stuff going on in the area, it's just another reason to be on high alert, you know? Anyway, hoping everyone gets through this okay... 
. Like, you'd think it's not possible to shut down a major highway like that but apparently, it happens 
. And with everything happening in San Jose this week...it's just not a good time for anyone to be driving around right now 
.
did they say anything about the other shooting in San Jose, that one was super sad 
Oh man, this is crazy! I was supposed to be on my way to work like 20 minutes ago but the traffic is insane 
. And now we're stuck here and can't even get to our destinations on time 
. Authorities need to figure out what's going on ASAP so we can all feel safer 
. Seriously though, hope everyone involved is okay and that the cops can figure out what happened ASAP
