The fact that such a story is national news is a sad indictment of our society.
No running lights either and this was at night.
Small town? He’s probably the Police chief and judge. He’s entitled to have a good time.
He’d have been better off helping Frank out at the WH.
Hmmm drinking, driving a mower down the road with NO lights in the dark... well , at least he has good judgement..
reminds me of the idiot I almost ran over last week. Dude was swimming 20 ft from the loading dock AT NIGHT with no vest or anything....

George Jones Ping!

Dang, it is his town. Can’t we all cut the mayor a little slack. He has made less trouble in his lifetime than Mayor Bill De Blasio in the past two years.
He’s the man, he can do whatever he wishes, doesnt mean he is very bright either...
Amen brother. Mine has two.
His own cop pulled him over and kept the camera on.
Just dayum.
Aynor SC is a small cross roads of a town that wouldn’t be known at all, except that it’s 30 miles from Myrtle Beach on Hwy 501, the main road to MB. What’s funny with this incident, is that Aynor has always been known as a speed trap and many people have gotten tickets there either on the way to or from the beach.
Let me hold my own beer and watch this.
Ha!
That is the first thing I thought about as well.
The Ol’ Possum ringing his lawnmover after having a few.
Heh!
