Geez, that face alone is a felony. Hitting some guy while drunk is only a petty misdemeanor?

Obviously she hit the skateboarder because nobody would hit that.

Wow. Point Break sure was a long time ago, wasn't it?

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume there was a "coming out of the closet" moment that I somehow missed?

It was a skateboarder. Should have gotten ten points off the license record.

“It was a skateboarder. Should have gotten ten points off the license record.”

I agree. Assuming that she was driving on a road (rather than a sidewalk or someone’s yard), then they are both equally guilty. Similar to the legal doctrine of “mutual combat”, where two people agree to have a fight outside of the bar, and the loser dies. Generally, no charges are filed.

One other thing...watch the MADD-whipped do-gooders come out and attack you.

Gee, I thought it said Laura Petrie.

Peter Lorre, (László Löwenstein) has not been down for breakfast since 1964.
