Likely he had some cash and they needed to Civil Asset Forfeiture it, but needed an underlying crime, like not handing over the cash and signing a quit-claim form on the spot. Oh, look , resisting arrest. 

This is why wearing a seatbelt and shoulder belt properly are so important.

May 6, still at work; this was a draw.

It’s a shame. Chesterfield Mall used to be an interesting place to go.

There was a story of a woman with the immobilizer and a club; thieves broke a window and obliterated the steering wheel and steering column. At least $1000 in damage. Insurance isn’t going to touch these vehicles.

Get to know teen accounts

Can’t hear the echo from its own sonar due to the large sound of the ship that it likely identified as being hundreds of feet away at the propellers and not right there with the very low turbulence, silent bow. Possibly at night; while the ship may have lights visible to the sides, they are probably not very visible…

No fair. There’s a 99.9% chance you are correct. Might as well bet that the poker hand I am holding has five fingers attached.

If they take $1 Million, they they know you are likely to fight and will…

Not just the cars. Grab the motor coach from Clarence Thomas and put it up on blocks with no shades on the windows for a year. Gets two things done. Makes the point and makes John Oliver’s offer more tempting and Oliver has indicated an itch to open that offer back up. 

Some of the most persistent and damaging chemicals come from the very old companies - they know how to hide the evidence from long experience.

Yes - it had a fault. It was a fault that was easily overcome. It’s also a fault that has been corrected in a way as to avoid unwanted interactions with wrong-performing crews.

Why do you believe skin color is the driving function of 3rd world problems? You are the one implying that.

Are you worried someone might be wrong or that your shares won’t vest before bears make the news for preferentially tearing cars apart to get to your plant based products? Tanned leather doesn’t taste or smell like food. 

The NTSB and EASA both concluded there were significant training failures. That is - the pilots did not perform according to the specified procedures. The plane was grounded because they needed to figure out what to do about pilots who did the opposite of every single required step.

Ahh - making the entire vehicle a buffet for ants, other insects, and every rodent for miles around. Smooth move.
