When possession of a stolen/unregistered gun results in a mandatory five+ year prison stay, you’ll see ownership and use of stolen or unregistered guns plummet.

They aren’t doing it to “make a point” or declare ownership, they’re doing it to stay safe from those pickups, who harass them regardless.

WTF?! “Trespassing” on the road he lived on? “Repeat offenders”? THAT would be reason or context justifying using a vehicle to injure a cyclist to you?

The signs Jalopnik is losing its way:

Same, 100%. They seem to have become nothing more than nominally interesting status trophies; Tech that’s never used, for people who seldom drive them beyond a cars n’ coffee or the odd “rich guy meetup.”

Zero. Any car requiring a subscription is immediately off my consideration list, period. I own it as is, or I won’t.

I helped send a rich POS to five years in prison for deliberately hitting two cyclists he didn’t like using his road for exercise.

This really should’ve been posted in Jezebel, folks. 

For cinematic calamities’ sake, would someone please write the screenplay for this bonkers story?!

Real men take metal shards to the brain. Safety is for libs.

Hell yeah, man. Sorry again for not being able to take ‘em!

In truth, building recognition and positive sentiment for any name is enormously expensive and time-consuming. It’s not a case of just putting a badge on it and letting people find it. They have to have a product and marketing plan, communicate it internally, to dealers, to the press, to the public, to the target…

This is a real insight. Hollywood needs you.

“But how will we be intimidating and tough and grrrr and overcompensate for our little weaners?”

Is Torchinsky Atari age?! This is some of his art. Seriously. He offered it to me for free but I was temporarily short of space.

“You done damaged my mass-produced easily-replaceable item, resulting in nothing but my inconvenience, so I’m going to hurt and/or take your life!”

There better be some top-notch blinker pedanticism or I’ll be writing the producer a very stern tweet.

You forgot the part about how constant tax cuts result in infrastructure cuts and inspections are one of the resulting shortcomings.

Not EVEN. In a suit like that, it’s all about self-consciously primping, posing, and preening for others to see.

No one is excusing bad behavior, at all. They’re criticizing behavior that is almost as bad as the criminals’, albeit by *professional agents of the state* whose entire job is to keeps people safe.
