[quote=Anonymous][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 people driving faster than you would like on 270. Even the most lead footed beltway slalom driver is not well known by police because they try to instigate a pursuit. [/quote]

Beltway slalom drivers are not well known to police because they avoid police. That doesn't help the rest of us stay safe.

Thanks for acknowledging the clear difference between this lunatic and an average Virginia tesla driver. We are definitely more at risk from a crazy 19yo with no license who tries to run over LEO. Case in point.[/quote]
