They spoted the State police and and drove off? How did they get away?

I would have sacrificed my Dodge Ram and made damn sure at least one of the vehicles was not able to leave the scene.

EXTREEM WTF ! ! !

I’m sorry to hear of this. My wife and I watched Taking Chance on Saturday night, and as I watched I wondered if something like this might take place because of the elevated awareness.

This is what the left has stooped to. People of good will need to take a hard look at this. If this is the type of nation we’re tuning into, it’s not going to serve them well any more than it will us.

Behavior of this level is exercised across the board, whenever the whim hits a person. That is a dangerous situation, something adults should try to avoid any way they can.

This truly is a very dangerous indicator of things to come, if folks don’t wake the hell up.

“WTF is tha matter with people?”

Some ‘people’ just need to be killed.

Could these douchebags possibly have been Muzzies on the way to enemy HQ in the Detroit area? Stumbling across a military funeral would have the rock worshippers peeing their pants.

Is there any actual evidence that this was anything but some random idiot drivers annoyed at slow moving traffic? If it was as bad as is being made out here, I’m having a hard time believing that with the convoy having at least one Ohio State Police escort, heavy back-up wasn’t quickly summoned to intercept the perps.

I have to confess, what I saw from the video shows a typical "in a hurry" jerk weaving in and out of traffic. The guy talking on the video mentioned the car was forcing others off the road, but I couldn't see it well enough to tell.

I didn't know that happened to Jason and his family. Here's a tribute to Jason Burkholder. His death affected all of us. Jason Burkholder

A “Kentucky” hanging is when you take the offender, strip him, set him on a stump, nail certain parts of his anatomy to the stump. then push him off backwards.

Where I come from there is no stump involved. The act takes place on the roof of a building owned by the perp (barn, house, outhouse, &c.). You hand him an axe and then set the barn on fire!

Libertas
ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE NATURE OF HUMAN LIBERTY
But many there are who follow in the footsteps of Lucifer, and adopt as their own his rebellious cry, "I will not serve"; and consequently substitute for true liberty what is sheer and most foolish license. Such, for instance, are the men belonging to that widely spread and powerful organization, who, usurping the name of liberty, style themselves liberals.

This Encyclical was written in 1888, yet it is so pertinent to what is happening today that it is worth the entire read.

I agree with your post and your comments.

I’ll check out that link.

Can someone tell me which vehicle is trying to ram another vehicle? I watched the video and saw only a minivan moving from the slow lane into the passing lane, as the van comes up on a slow-moving semi truck. I’m assuming the black SUV with flag deployed, which is over the center line on several occasions, is not the perpetrator?

[DoughtyOne]

I copied the encyclical to my hard drive, and will review it later. Thank you.

IMO, part of what’s wrong with the U.S. today is the fact we make every effort to sustain life, when by natural circumstances, they would likely perish. That is the beauty of natural selection.

[Wingrider]

The black SUV is a Patriot Guard Rider who, I believe, is taking up a blocking positiion and keeping an eye on what is going on ahead of him.

I plan to contact him this evening to get his take on what happened.

[Wingrider]

You can see in the video where I believe a PGR vehicle did force the van off the road on the right. The van actually passes this vehicle while on the shoulder of the road.

[buccaneer81]

Look for the car speeding up the right side in the breakdown lane.

[Wingrider]

I know the State Police were alerted. The Trooper leading the convoy could not go after the van.

Keep in mind the author said there were TWO vehicles involved in this incident.

Agreed. The "attack" hyperbole is a bit much.
