Ambulance Stopped by ATVs and Motorcycles while Transporting a Child

A commercial ambulance crew told the Department of Health they were swarmed by about 30 ATV and motorcycle riders on March 23 on Michigan Avenue near North Capitol Street.

The incident description said the group blocked the ambulance, which was carrying an intensive care patient being transported to a children's unit, and forced it to stop even though the ambulance used its lights and sirens in an attempt to get by.

The crew reported one of the drivers opened the ambulance door and accused the ambulance driver of cutting the group off.

These swarms of riders emerge frequently from the DC area's most thuggish neighborhoods and cause mayhem on the Beltway and elsewhere. It's hard to tell how many of the vehicles are street legal, how many are stolen, etc. The MSM are very PC in how they describe these mobs.

Thugs from the hood believe they are entitled to whatever they want and to hell with the rule of law.

I’ve worked with a former NYC ambulance driver.
He’d have just run the guys over, chalking it up with all the other accidents induced by people being stupid on the road and not staying out of his way (apparently he lost track of how many double-parked cars he smashed up).

Apparently DC is now a haven for racers because they have a “no-chase” policy.

They figured “let them go and track down the plate later”. But now these guys are racing without plates...

Only when there are men who give that pendulum a push. I'm not so sure that The Sheeple will ever shoulder their load.

That Kipling The Beginning poem you posted couldn’t be more applicable or timely in the days we’re living in.

Either you move that junk NOW, or I will see just how much of it that this ambulance can run over and get through.

Sometimes I feel that way too.

There hasn't been a reason for the "sheeple" to get engaged. Technology has made it possible for Joe Average to ignore the things that are going on out of everyday view.

Human nature, however, is to push harder when you think you're winning. The Left - the forces of entropy, the anti-life forces - are particularly tone-deaf to the signs that they're pushing too hard, going too far.

The forces of darkness always try to take a mile when they should have settled for an inch. This is one of their weaknesses.

As Lieutenant Colombo said to the murderer in one of the early episodes: "You're smart, but you're dishonest... and that limits your imagination."

Always liked Columbo.

Banacek, McCloud, and Hec Ramsey were better shows. Snoop Sisters isn’t half bad and despite RH, McMillan & Wife is an OK show.

For me and SF based stuff, Streets Of San Francisco and Ironside are my favorites.
