Just to play devil’s advocate here: it’s not impossible that what they said does excuse this kind of behavior. If that driver of that car legitimately feared for their safety from the motorcyclists, and that was the only viable escape route, I could see a case being made. Granted, that’s a pretty unlikely scenario.

Really it’s most areas that are not cities. Once the density goes down, people seem to behave better on the roads. I live in the North Bay, and as soon as I cross the Golden Gate bridge I can feel myself switch into “city mode” where I start driving more aggressively to maneuver through heavier traffic, and as far as…

At 1:45 one of the guys has something on his hip, it’s probably a phone but it might have been a little glock or something, it’s pretty bury.

Apparently the 2016 Tundra he has now is the 16th Tundra he’s owned in his lifetime. Big fan of the brand!

Great! Because what I was really hoping for was an FPS where I wait in the trenches doing nothing for 3 months and then die from influenza.

Sure, and the A-10 was primary tasked with taking out columns of T-72 and T-80 MBTs; but that’s not what it’s doing today.

I’m willing to give them the slightest benefit of the doubt. It’s very possible right now to hack into someone’s car and engineer a situation in which people are killed. I wouldn’t bat an eyelash at a life sentence for someone who did that; then again, that’s probably already covered under existing murder laws.

I thought that the F-35 was equipped with a 25mm GAU-12 cannon as well? I’m sure it won’t hold as many rounds as the A-10's ~1,300 and they are slightly smaller, but I would assume they are up to the kind of tasks they are facing now against lightly armored vehicles.

I wouldn’t even have any doubt to give them the benefit of if it were not for the narrative they chose that focuses on the priors of the girls involved and the context of how they got into that pond. Now I have to question if they would have tried any harder (effectively or not) to save those girls had they not had…

Its really simple: if the police would have tried harder to save someone who had not committed any crimes and had driven into the pond; then they are negligent in their duties. If they handled it the same regardless of the context, then they did fine.

You can’t blame the officers for not risking their lives to save theirs

It sounds like a pretty cool system; I just wonder about collateral damage when you have an autonomous shotgun. Especially on the Striker vehicles where infantry support is their raison d’etre; what happens when stray buckshot hits soldiers or civilians? Or when a prematurely detonated RPG hits soldiers or civilians?

But maybe just take a photo of a license plate and call the police

It’s funny how many people have this idea about “blocking” someone. That’s not a thing. If you are driving the speed limit, and you get in front of someone who wants to recklessly drive over it, that’s their problem, not yours. I for one say, as long as you drive legally and safely, I couldn’t care less what your…

I’d be willing to bet folding money that the sign takes more energy than they captured from the passing cars.

That’s been my take away from the article and (more importantly) the comments section. It seems like a lot of people are here are suggesting that this driver failed to safely drive recklessly; and that had he been a better driver this kind of stunt would have been acceptable. How about just drive safely, all the time?…

Yeah...you don’t vote for Nobel Prizes. They are awarded by experts in the field and that’s what gives them their prestige. They show you have earned the respect and admiration of your peers. I think what these petitioners are looking for is the People’s Choice Awards.

Man...FUCK the 90's

On the upside, if and when a Democrat is elected in 2016; by Priebus’ own logic that person could appoint as liberal a justice as they wanted, and the GOP would have no claim against the legitimacy of that appointment.

In unnecessary fairness: do we know that any of those horrible sounding things actually cause the animals involved pain? I mean, they probably do, but do we actually know that?
