I hate to imagine the condition of that Florida man’s “junk”.

Again you are splitting hairs.

“Again you are splitting hairs.”

Nowhere in the article does it claim ‘at the same time.

Headline writers make their living on click-bait.

What the article does say is that before the officer got up to the vehicle the driver had stepped out of the car and the passenger had positioned himself behind the wheel. Thus they were both cited in a close enough time frame as to make it at the same time. While there most likely was a slight difference in time, it is so negligible as to be inconsequential.

Click bait on the other hand is so far off of reality that the intent is clearly one of misleading people in order for them to click on the article. In this case the arrests happened either simultaneously or serially close enough to make them considered at the same time. In other words, the 2nd person was not processed hours or even days later.

Close only counts in horseshoes.

You forgot hand grenades, nuclear weapons, gas attacks etc.

But you're still splitting hairs.

[TexasGator]

I am curious as to why you are defending MSM click-bait headlines.

[Robert DeLong]

I don't. This is not clickbait. This is a factual story, regardless as to whether you can see that fact or not.

Question is, why are you so adamant that you have to resort to hair splitting to make your case that it is clickbait? They were both arrested for DUI for driving the same vehicle at the same traffic stop. Just because one got from behind the steering wheel and the other one slid behind the steering wheel after the driver vacated it, does not change the fact that they were both charged with DUI at the same time. Again, any real time difference is so negligible as to be inconsequential.

I had figured out before I even read the article that the 2 had changed places, thus making them both to be legally considered as a driver of the vehicle, and they both must have been over the legal limit. I just read the article to confirm, and also to see if names were included so I could get more from the story. 8>)

“They were both arrested for DUI for driving the same vehicle at the same traffic stop”

But in two different incidents.

[Burma Jones]

That’s like a team getting 2 baserunners thrown out at home on the same play - hard to do!

[TexasGator]

“I had figured out before I even read the article that the 2 had changed places,”

They didn’t change places.

[Robert DeLong]

But in two different incidents.

Explain the 2 different incidents, as you see them.

Illegals, I’m sure.

Not the typical illegals, these two were from Jupiter.......

This is an example of clickbait, and the title was written by a Freeper
