WICHITA - The man who drove his car through City Hall last year was sentenced Wednesday to more than 10 years in prison.

Marcus Johnson, 33, faces 122 months of incarceration after crashing through a set of glass doors at City Hall in January 2008 and continuing through the building before slamming into the west wall of the parking garage.
he can make it all the way through the building without much more than a few scrapes, but he hits a freakin wall?!?!

yep, that really happened! The guy was angry (and he really is a schizophrenic not taking his meds) at the police, and thought he'd teach them a thing or two. He drove completely through the building, thankfully no one was hurt! His family begged for leniency, since he's not well, but he's probably better off not being on the streets driving a car!

Most likely started like this..., then as he approached the front of the building..., then halfway thru..., finally ending with... (saying..."crap, what did I just do?")

This video is a little misleading. It has been edited to make it look like all these people almost got hit. When watching it, pay attention to the time counter. The car does all it's damage at 12:36 - 12:37. All the shots of the people in the way are at a different time...either before it occurred, or a little afterward.
