If you throw a cooler at someone engaging in reckless driving of an ebike on a sidewalk and kill them you will be committing manslaughter, in the least. You seem to be in the 2 wrongs makes a right category.

So, we should kill every asshole that rides their ebike and electric scooter on the sidewalk?

Fun fact, “what ifs” aren’t enough for death penalties. It’s a tough standard for victim-blamers to grasp, but not killing people and letting our judicial system process criminals is the right way to do it.

Crashing people turns them and their vehicles into uncontrolled missiles, so that only increased the danger to bystanders.  It could’ve been a person and not a tree that the guy was splattered against.

Drug dealer? Career criminal? Show your receipts, buddy. Right now all we have is a very thin cover story by the cops, who can’t/won’t tell what REALLY happened that led to this situation.

This is the exact same logic domestic abusers use when they beat their partner. “Look what you made me do.” Oh, and guess what, cops are statistically overrepresented as domestic abusers. Funny how that works out.

Please point out which crimes the motorcyclist has been accused of that would have resulted in the death penalty if he had been arrested and convicted in a court of law.

And if you still insist on going down this hole, remember that most moving violations are considered violates because they’re dangerous, so the next…

I’m not familiar with New York law, so maybe they have a law that makes “getting away” punishable by death.

Yes. It is well established that police cannot kill someone merely for running from them.

That’s the corollary to “this job is only going to take me 45 minutes, an hour tops.”

“This motor swap will be cheap. I can use mostly junkyard parts”

By the way, that large antenna on the decklid was a sight for sore eyes.

But then how will you cope with not having anyone to bitch about? It is such a big part of your life, I’m worried for you.

“No previous generation is more civil or smarter than what we have now. The only difference is the level in which you see people outside the incredibly small circle everyone lived in those 30 years ago.”

Sure there was. The difference between even 30 years ago and now is that there was a time when an education, or some sort of earned status through merit, was required to garner a voice. This is no longer the case. Now...We have Social Media, where any idiot can get global traction and even “influence” cultures in some…

I’ve always said that Elon Musk ain’t nothing but Donald Trump in a tech bro costume. And stupid ass comments like those above pretty well prove that the Stans are every bit as whackadoodle as your average trumpy Q-anon ding-dong.

I sorta feel like Musk is synonymous with Tesla to a degree that if I’m driving a car with a “T” badge on it, people are going to assume I’m one of the faithful. It’s the equivalent of putting one of those Christian fish on your car; you’re sending a message about your beliefs.

The gas tank is probably under the driver's seat. So that, when you have an accident, all your problems are over. 

Years ago I negotiated an OTD price on our Hyundai. Trading in our current car wasn’t in the equation.

God, that’s easily my favorite Top Gear (or Grand Tour) special. I really wish the Grand Tour got back in to stuff like this instead of “hey, let’s throw $500k at a car so we can do stupid stuff with it” that they’re doing now.
