[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you drive 136 mph on a busy public highway (which he was arrested for previously) it should be treated the same from a legal standpoint as indiscriminately firing a gun in public place like a shopping mall. This piece of sh*t should have been in prison a long time ago for his recklessness. [/quote]

Yes, it should be, but it isn't.

Another question is why it's legal to have cars that you can drive 136 mph. Why aren't cars speed-limited to a maximum of 80 mph?[/quote]

Because it’s rare that anyone actually drives like this.[/quote]

First of all, it's not at all rare for people to drive at dangerous speeds on 270. There have been several times in just the past week where I was driving on 270 and someone zoomed past me and all the other cars on the road.

Second of all, so what? What would we lose, if cars were speed-limited to a maximum of 80 mph? Compare to the police officer, who lost his legs.[/quote]
This idiot is orders of magnitude worse than any of the [b]people driving faster than you would like[/b] on 270. Even the most lead footed beltway slalom driver is not well known by police because they try to instigate a pursuit. [/quote]

So if you're wondering why this driver was still on the roads, driving? It's because of attitudes like the PP's towards dangerous driving.[/quote]
