The story : In 1977 , Randy Webster is a good kid. He gets into a lot of harmless trouble by his own hands , but he is still none the less a good kid.
When Randy gets kicked out of school his dad is furious at him.
Randy explains that school is just not the place for him and soon decides to enroll himself in the Navy.
Now he just needs his dads signature.
Dad doesnt think it a good idea and this becomes the topic of yet another heated argument between them.
That evening of February the 8th , Randy decided to go to Houston to blow off some steam by stealing a van.
When the police finally find him driving the reported stolen van , Randy runs from them.
