I have had police:

“Officer, why am I being pulled over?”

Notice the flicker on the headlights? That’s got to be annoying at night as when it was done on, was it Cadillac (?) tail lights that formed streamers in saccade motion at night.

He is not appealing to the masses, which is a huge problem for a science educator. Compare to Scott Manley or Carl Sagan. The difference for me is Scott and Carl really enjoy(ed) the science and were enthusiastic to share and Neil really enjoys telling other people how wrong they are. 

If deaths are reaching 2005 levels, then that suggests deaths were even higher before that.

Not just pandering. It’s a clear threat that he would act on in a heartbeat if he had any support.

It’s a pretext for a drug search and possibly civil asset forfeiture of cash. The speeding ticket is just an extra cash grab.

On an average day 200,000 people die. A few more than 200,000 are born. While any large group going at once is a tragedy of some note, it disrespects the 199,000+ that miss that consideration. On a regulatory basis the sinking of a vessel is concerning; however the loss of hundreds off of Greece and these near the…
