IRANIAN OIL ??: A strange thing happened to me

... on the way to my Sunday afternoon nap.

Yea? You wanna step outside and say that? I wear warm fuzzy house slippers too! Wanna make sumpen' outa' that?

At any rate, where was I?


Oh yea, a strange thing indeed. I was reading the Sunday LAT, the California section, A high ranking Iranian NIOC (National Iranian Oil Company) official has the same name (Ali Morteza Samsam Bakhtiari) as a suspect in an Orange County, Calironia, hit-and-run ... the evidence clearly points to deliberate hit-and-run.


Another strange thing, they have similar physical appearance, too! OMG what am I thinking, I just committed a hate crime ... racial profiling! Oh, well!
Morteza Bakhtiari, 26, of Costa Mesa was taken into custody late Friday at his home, 24 hours after hitting John Royston with a BMW at the Aliso Viejo Town Center and fleeing, said Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.
Talking about PC, there were a few items in the Sunday's LAT story that caught my attention.

The suspect has a police record but it wasn't discussed in the paper. You think the records have been sealed by the court under diplomatic immunity? In any other piece on an intentional hit-and-run of an Orange County resident and father of three there'd be exhausting detail.
A computer search of California court records shows someone matching Bakhtiari's name and date of birth has had at least seven criminal or traffic citations or complaints filed against him since 2000, mostly in Orange County. Details of the cases were not immediately available.
In the case of the victim it wasn't so ...
Bakhtiari was being held at Orange County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder. Bail was set at $1 million.

Royston ... remained in extremely critical condition in a medically induced coma Saturday at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo.
If both have jobs, only Royston's is mentioned ...
Royston, a former assistant football coach at Santa Margarita High School [... ]

Royston's employer at America's Choice Finance in Lake Forest, where he is a loan officer, has set up a fund at the Washington Mutual Bank branch on Mission Viejo's Crown Valley Parkway to accept contributions for Royston's wife and children.
If there is, and I'm not saying there is (nawt!), a relationship look for this guy to jump ship under the protection of the our State Department. If so good luck to the Roystons and their desire for justice.
