what would you like the justice system to do in that situation?


Righ, it’s a couple of misdemeanor. You can’t exactly have him sent up the River for traffic citations.

People have lost their mind in this thread. None of those charges are violent or theft. This is not the case to be damning our justice system..

You might be thinking of the genius that got into a chase and wrecked outside the gates of CCL. He didn’t kill anyone but injured a cop in the crash. That took place a few hours before the college drive festival

That license plate gag works perfectly for James Bond. He’s no James Bond.

All fun and games until an innocent bystander is killed. It represents a loss of control by the police. Harshen the penalties and it will end.

And another fatality….

A man accused of killing a woman after he ran a red light while racing away from police Saturday is tied to the same group that took credit for clogging up a major street as concertgoers were leaving Garth Brooks' sold-out show at Tiger Stadium

"After impounding the vehicle, officers said they found a stolen gun hidden above the sun roof cover in the car."

That should be the biggest offense.

Thugs in possession of stolen guns is the reason this city and others are absolute S$it holes when it comes to shootings and robberies.

Was he arrested for shooting someone with the gun, no. Does this mean he had it just for instagram pics? Doubtful.

Quite possibly, but he hadn’t been caught doing that yet. I’m not quite sure I ended up defending the street racer but here I am.

His post isn’t referring to the gun charge but the first time he was arrested on a bunch of petty misdemeanors
