When did "takeovers" become a thing and why are they happening more often?

San Antonio I-10 Takeover

I actually drove through San Antonio Sunday on my way home from West Texas deer camp. But I've seen these in BR and other big cities. Why do these idiots think its a good idea to shut down a major interstate and do donuts and shoot at people?

It's called Sideshows and they have been a thing, I'm aware of since the late 80s when I bought my first Too $hort cassette

Lots of deer hunters going through that area. Surprised someone didn't pull out their 30/06 and take a head shot on the thug.

If they made it to where you couldn’t buy energy drinks with ebt these people wouldn’t have the energy to do donuts in the middle of the night

Cops don’t care anymore so nobody gets their skulls cracked.

That's what they called carnival freaks back in the day. The shoe fits.

I imagine it's going to be a matter of time before they start that shite here. Thursday or Friday night there was a slew of cars doing drag racing and burnouts in the old Kroger parking lot, per Neighborhood App.

Short Dog was the first cassette I ever owned that I never fast forwarded through any of it. Listened front to back and only rewound back to the beginning.

Because we haven't started running them over yet.

They do this all over Atlanta, and tried it in Roswell/Alpharetta area. Happy to say the police made a bunch of arrests and I haven’t heard of one since.

Just add it to the list of stupid fricking shite some folks do. At least rednecks tend to keep it to fields and backroads and not underpasses on Interstates.

As always the least surprising thing in the article….”white Dodge Challenger”.

The war wagon of choice these days.

You're surprised a deer hunter didn't pull out a rifle and shoot someone on I-10?

It'll stop when nerdy causcasian teenagers start doing it. Won't be too cool anymore and the parents will freak out.

Kids have been doing this shite forever. However, we went to rural areas with a nice straight section of road and no traffic. We didn't frick up city traffic like the dipshits do.
