YeeeeHawwwww! Car Chase 2005 on FoxNews

FoxNews ^ | February 7, 2005

[TomGuy]

Headed east near Redlands.

[MikefromOhio]

I am sure that everyone saw that ambulance flip over the other night right?

[from occupied ga]

And this has what to do with conservatism?

[tsmith130]

Do car chases not happen in any other state?

[PilloryHillary]

Must already be a slow news day.

[Skylus]

Redlands!! Most of my family lives around there...

[null and void]

Do car chases not happen in any other state?

I guess not.

[cweese]

OJ chasing the real killers?

[TomGuy]

Must already be a slow news day.

It is. No Michael Jackson trial today in LA. lol

[billorites]

"And this has what to do with conservatism?"

I guess it's a NASCAR sort of thing.

[GOP_Proud]

Sure they do. We just don't have the choppers to cover them. They just aren't as exciting when the news comes on at 5 and the anchor TELLS us about it.

[dennisw]

I am sure that everyone saw that ambulance flip over the other night right?

Yep. I give a 10 on it's flip over at the end

[dmz]

I've asked myself the same question, what does Fox News have to do with conservatism?

[Miss Marple]

California has more traffic copters and freeways...therefore car chase coverage is especially good.

Runner-up is Florida, I think, because of the good weather and easy visibility from the air.

Car chases are a Fox specialty. It has nothing to do with conservatism, of course, but everything to do with ratings.

[Dianna]

It's awful early for a car chase...don't these guys sleep?

[NRA1995]

OJ got a new car?

[SE Mom]

Yeah- they probably do...heheh...but California always has dramatic ones...and Fox always covers em.

They just stopped covering it cause of a fog bank - the chopper can't fly into it.

[spectre]

No one has figured out just WHAT the guy is running from?

Does he have something in that car that he doesn't want Mr. Cop to find?

sw

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

I was honestly amazed that it didnt flip when it hit the median and instead flipped after going over the median....

the idiot driving probably about had his arms broken trying to get it corrected too....

[Diddle E. Squat]

Take it up with the idiot producers at Fox News.

The other day they ran a "THIS IS A FOX NEWS ALERT!!! Michael Jackson has left the courthouse to go to lunch!"

I kid you not.

[cake_crumb]

LOL! Bored this Monday AM?

[NautiNurse]

It's awful early for a car chase...don't these guys sleep?

LOL--FOX was marveling at how well the perp was driving within the lanes, suspecting he may not be completely whacked out on drugs.

[AmericanChef]

Awww, it's probably just a girlie man who needs a foamy coffee drink with a dash of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.

[spectre]

Maybe he's got a trunk full of it?

sw

[TomGuy]

John Scott said the chase started when the driver failed to stop at a stop sign. Auto has OKlahoma tags. Driver is male, 32 y/o (they must have run the tags and got his identity).

[PilloryHillary]

"Take it up with the idiot producers at Fox News.

Saw that too! I get tired of hearing "the gong" every time Michael Jackson is hungry.

[tom paine 2]

bump

[E Rocc]

Maybe they saw him smoking in his car. :gasp:

We had a chase in Pittsburgh last week involving a stolen dirt bike. The idiot had successfully gotten away from the police, they stopped pursuit and 5 minutees later the guy ran into a parked truck and died.

[NautiNurse]

Maybe he's got a trunk full of it?

He's heading east on I-10, so that may be a very good possibility.

[dennisw]

the idiot driving probably about had his arms broken trying to get it corrected too....

Said idiot walked away with no injuries. It was cool seeing lots of sparks fly on the flip over, and the ambulance light bar smashing to the ground.

[hellinahandcart]

Dang it all anyway. Car chase threads were a lot more fun before I got married and moved out of my one-room apartment.

Now my computer and my TV aren't even in the same room, and I can't play. :(

[stainlessbanner]

later the guy ran into a parked truck and died.

That'll do it. Not even worth a $2000 dirtbike

No trial. No incarceration. Mark him down as the taxpayer's friend.

[RushCrush]

Nominee for the Darwin Award I say.

"And this has what to do with conservatism?"

Threads such as this are often posted by proctologists seeking potential stickectomy patients. >:)

[Jazzman1]

IT'S PROBABLY A DRUNKEN LIBERAL JUDGE.

[from occupied ga]

from the fr home page

Free Republic is the premiere online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.

I wondered what a car chase (or Fox news for that matter - but Fox new is in the business of getting readers and meaningless, but unusual stuff, appeals to some people ) has to do with this? For that matter I still wonder what a car chase has to do with conservatism.

[MikefromOhio]

yep...

not only that, but if you watch closely, you can see sparks or some sort of light inside the ambulance going off too as it flipped....

amazing....he wasnt holding onto the wheel too tightly then huh....

[WV Mountain Mama]

You should have seen the guys wife on tv complaining on what a great guy he was and he didn't run a red light like the cops claimed. Perhaps she missed the fact that the bike was stolen and it was a dirt bike not an off/on bike so it wasn't licensed. The guy had ironically gotten out of prison last fall for, you guessed it, burglary! He had been in for 4 years. I am also pretty sure the news said that he had 9 kids and he was only 34 when he died.

[CARDINALRULES]

LOL.

I can beat that...my computer and tv aren't even in the same house. I have to tape anything I want to watch.

[from occupied ga]

That's funny I thought that they were posted by tabloid readers mistakenly thinking that this was a tabloid site.

[WV Mountain Mama]

No, he had 9 kids already. I think that takes him out of the running.

[MikefromOhio]

hmmmm...

I think you need to loosen up a bit. enjoy the day...


It seems to be a slow news day so this, I guess, would be breaking news.....

[cspackler]

What does you carrying on about what this has to do with conservatism, have to do with conservatism?

[from occupied ga]

I think you need to loosen up a bit. enjoy the day...

In other words, you don't have a clue as to how this relates to conservatism.

[hellinahandcart]

I always file these sorts of threads under the "and we always have fun doing it" part.

:D

[from occupied ga]

What does you carrying on about what this has to do with conservatism, have to do with conservatism?

Answer my question and I'll answer yours.

[BJungNan]

And this has what to do with conservatism?

In about another 20 minutes when the freeways are clogged with all the extra illegal alien drivers you can complain that a car chase in progress became needlessly stalled in traffic.

[cspackler]

Mine was rhetorical. And yours?
