Weird! Dad has wraparound shades he never takes off, questionable facial hair to cover his no-chin and a ball cap to cover his bald head!  I totally would have pegged him as making completely different lifestyle choices.

The attorneys’ statement mentions that the parents own multiple businesses in the area, and that he has aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc. Sounds like probably a few generations of small-town lifers.

Your dog wants steak.

I don’t get this article. The summary (or whatever it is called) under the title says:

I heard Abbott is also working on a bill where you can sue all bicyclists you run over

He meant to roll coal. If his stupidity resulted in someone getting seriously hurt, he needs to pay the price. His parents obviously put the idea in his head, and allowed him to drive a huge truck. While kids are not known for making good choices to begin with, this goes beyond “I didn’t mean to”. For example, a bank…

Most states charge minors with licenses as adults for driving crimes. You don’t get sent to juvy for a DUI for instance. Plus most states now prosecute felony assault with a weapon (bro-dozer in this case) as adults no matter what. EPA’s CID should step in and investigate the asshole for a felony violation of the CAA…

I heard Abbott is also working on a bill where you can sue all bicyclists you run over.

Explains why he was acting like a complete douchelord...because he literally is one. Reminds me of my brother in law who never got in trouble for racing/wrecking his cars because my father in law had “connections” with the down-low gay cops in their city. Heck, he even got a slap on the wrist for a DUI where he hit a…

Didn’t mean to hit them and run them over, definitely meant to harm them physically and emotionally. Also definitely meant to do it with an illegally modified vehicle. Hopefully it’s a stern lesson.

I’d have to guess the DA will attempt to try this kid as a adult.

If they’re calling in an outside special prosecutor, and the local DA is going to great pains to say that his office is a separate entity from the local police department, I’d venture that this is a City of Waller police senior officer/chief’s kid. Or the parents are so wired into the local community that all the…

His mother and father were siblings.

Gov. Abbott is already working on a blanket pardon for this kid for anything he may be found guilty of going forward.

What are the ‘family connections’ ?

If food stays on the floor for more than five seconds, it means your dog’s getting old.

It’s Jalopnik - they’ve become just like all the other MSM scummy journalists... Excluding Torch of course - he’s the best.

His alderman already set the value of the bump at zero when the alderman offered to remove it pending a budget allocation. Essentially, the alderman agreed that removing it was the correct thing to do.

A number of years back the university that I work for put in a bunch of extra speed bumps that were way too tall and had too sharp an angle on them. A lot of people were bottoming out after having to come to nearly a complete stop. They were bolted into the asphalt, so a bunch of the student finally just stole them.

The government should have to show how they were harmed by Benitez’ actions.  Judge should throw this out.
