You really got reamed on this thread, but you’re 100% right. Principles are important, but electability matters most.

Screw this idiot. Zero sympathy for him, no matter what level of responsibility he takes for it. I can’t imagine driving down the highway with my two little girls in the back of the vehicle and having a motorcycle slam into the back of my vehicle at 110+mph. There is a place for speed, it’s called the track, not on a…

He rammed (pun intended) a GMC pickup and seconds later took a semi-truck up the ass.

“Too much confidence for too little skill.”

I think everyone is insane for discounting electability when deciding on who should represent your party in an election.

Out of curiosity I picked out some landmarks, found them on Maps and measured, and checked vid times to get a idea of how fast he was going since I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere. Roughly 110-130+ mph at various times.

He could have killed someone else with his dangerous riding. Twerps like this should have their licenses permanently suspended.

He had to be going 130+ at times in this video WHILE PASSING people.

All fine and well that he acknowledges this happened because of his own stupidity but I don’t see any mention of anyone other than himself. Driving/riding like this puts everyone else on the road at innocent risk of accident or injury (ask the pickup driver or truck driver in this video if they’re as “c’est la vie”…

I’m not as young as I used to be. I like the idea that replacement organs are riding around like this.

Of course this selfish arse calls the incident an “accident” and not a collision or crash which is what it was. An accident is if a deer runs onto the road and you swerve to avoid it and hit another vehicle or stationary object. I hope he is never allowed to get on a bike again, or to drive a car for that matter,…

Reap what you sow. 

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Oh, well.

rear-ended a pickup truck while lane-splitting like a fucking moron.

(whispers) I think that only works on the Pontiac Vibe or the Ford Probe...

Yeah, as it turns out, 14 year olds dumb enough to break into cars just for joyrides are also dumb enough not to know which cars they can steal without breaking in first.

I think Spokane County has a problem. Now have a Kia/Hyundai Auto Theft Task Force. https://www.krem.com/article/news/crime/kia-thefts-spokane-growing-problem/293-b288da5e-fbc3-47bb-9247-71bcd105c2fb

I mean, just because they can’t doesn’t mean they won’t. My OppositeLock post made it to the front page of Jalopnik many years ago, when they suddenly refused to renew my policy due to a “violation of my contract” which hadn’t actually occurred, and which they couldn’t provide any evidence of.

KHQ is a Spokane tv station, so I suspect that Vanessa Russell lives in the sparsely populated eastern part of Washington state. While I don’t have the crime statistics for Spokane county, as a 45+ year resident of WA, I can tell you that she does not live in a “high” crime neighborhood. If she can afford a Telluride,…

Ok true lol, I mean by their twisted logic a VW anything should cost like $10k/month to insure because Bugatti is also under the Volkswagen group.
