It’s too cold and too early to stune the beeber.

Had it here in CA on Thursday too.

There were warnings to this effect in Houston this week. Carry your .45 in an easily accessible place.

Getting killed in a staged rear end collision, home invasion, etc.. Just one of the many hidden costs of “cheap labor” and “multi-cultural” society’s suicidal tendencies.

Would my wishing one of them would rear end Juan McCain, Teddy Kennedy, Jorge Bush or any member of their immediate families be too cruel?

I'm not worried about series, if a situation is series, it is series, but ...

I am concerned about arming motor vehicles as in "it is safe to assume every motor vehicle is armed."

I just want the drivers of said motor vehicles armed.

How are you gentlemen !!

[badbass]

Cruel or not, you have my support ;-).

It’s a trolling campaign based off of an urban legend.

There have been no incidents.

Gipson suggested motorists be aware of their surroundings. If they do become involved in a rear-end collision, he suggested they drive to a well-lit area and immediately call 9-1-1 from a cellular telephone, if they have one.

There is a book called Call 911 -- and Die

It is more appropos today than ever.

I wonder if these klueless kops have any better ideas today?

This story is completly true. In Miami my fahter was rearended by a car full of blacks. It was just a tap and my father was pulling over when he saw the “blood vessel” was packed with young men. He stepped on it and they chased him for a few blocks until he drove by the police station.

Intentional rear-ends are common in Los Angeles. Well, you read about them now and then. I don’t know if it is our home-grown thugs or imported. Just drive on ....

IIRC the “accidents” can be staged to collect insurance money.
