This has too be the most shocking thing I have seen this this oil crisis has started.  I was driving down I-94 to go south to see my brother on the southside of Chicago, and out of No where 3 cars stopped in front of a Oil Tanker Truck and pulled the driver out at gun point.  Talk about desperatation.. 

Anyways, After the hijackers left I pulled up and asked the driver if I could help being the good citizen I am.  So I took him to nearest police station so he could report it and call his company.. 

But I got to talk with the driver and he was telling me he had no chooice, he has a family to worry about and where he is at they are in the same situation with him family worrying about whats going to happen.  Then he goes into telling me that where he lives the main area like where a lot of stores are, has turned into a ghost town, just a few people trying to make a living while the rest closed up and headed up north to where they can re-open and get more business.  

He has even told me that the Oil companies are hurting due to the fact that their suppliers are low in supply and they are having to find other means to find their supply.. 

I asked the driver if the people were Military or Government, he said no that they looked like ordinary people in desperatation.
