Count me insensitive too, because the bikers got their just desserts if you ask me.

Nevermind, it seemed you were more sympathetic to the bikers from that comment. My bad.

Christ, you just HAD to say you drive a BMW. We suffer a bad enough rep as it is.

He won't walk again? Meh. Lesson learned the hard way. Fought a bull and caught the horns.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. Easy for me to say from my keyboard, but he was doing everything exactly correct up to the point he decided to turn left back on to the road. Run it into the goddamned ditch!

When you learn to drive you also learn to set the brake when you park. It's just what you do. Not a ticket worth crying over. Set the brake next time.

Any asshole that parks his bike in front of an SUV and sits there while his friends attempt to attack its inhabitants deserves to see the underside of that SUV.

Sometimes the cynics are right.

So in Oregon tickets for equipment go on your driving record?? Man add this to the list of laws that I hate there.
- 65 mph limits
- doctor's scrip for pseudoephedrine-containing medicine (phenylephrine does NOT work)
- this program still results in a $50 fine
- infractions not relating to your driving go on your record…

Holy shit fucking no. The "professional" with the actual deadly weapon and supposedly the training and common sense to know how/when to use it is the one to be held to a standard here. He fucked up, that's it.

This is a pretty awesome idea. I can see kids loving this. I can see adults loving this.

Exactly!

I hope the sarcasm came through in my post. Every time I see "an armed society is a polite society" I want to throw up.

So that won't, in fact, be a good place to scuba, despite the fact that water looks very inviting?

I have the same voice issue. It sounds an octave too high for me when I hear it played back.

Now if the guy filming only had his OWN gun, the other one would have been much more polite.

I see your point, but I don't think it's that clear there was no threat. None of us were actually there and we're only going on one video. There could very easily have been people hitting the car or shouting things we couldn't hear. We've only got a fraction of the story. It's easy to imagine a situation where the guy…

Your wit is formidable.

Ok Rob, the fact that you can come on here and give a rational answer to my critique goes a long way toward killing the perception of vanity. I hope you get your wheels back on the pavement.

Wow $kaycog I thought I had you properly pigeonholed. I obviously do not. :)
