UPDATE: Madman Plows Into Crowd — Hero Bystander Ends Rampage
In the early hours of Saturday morning, East Hollywood became the scene of chaos and carnage as a driver—recently evicted from a local nightlife venue—returned with vengeance in his heart and unleashed terror on a crowd of innocent bystanders lining up outside a nightclub. In a deliberate and devastating act, he plowed his vehicle through the crowd, leveling a taco stand, a valet podium, and sending bodies flying—ultimately injuring 30 men and women, seven of whom remain in critical condition. As the screams of the wounded filled the air, justice was meted out not by authorities, but by a bystander who drew a weapon and shot the driver, ending the rampage in a manner as raw as the evil that ignited it. The shooter fled into the night, and the motives behind this calculated attack remain under investigation.

Our prayers rise fervently for the victims—and demand answers from a city besieged by moral decay.

Before the adoption of time zones, clocks in the US and Canada were set according to the position of the sun overhead, meaning that time varied according to location. For the rail industry, this presented a logistical nightmare, and so many railroads kept their own time, further complicating matters. Standardization solved everything. On "The Day of Two Noons," train stations reset their clocks according to newly adopted time standards. Which US city continued to keep local time until the 1900s?
