Yea, but he is an oppressed minority. Better to let him go with a slap on the wrist then risk being accused as a racist.

If you’re a White male and want a good job it will.

Are you pretty sure when you look at blm and antifa members destroying entire cities?

yeah no whites don’t have the moral high ground anymore.

In fact they are All very silly, the “do i have to look?” comments considering the thousands and thousands of white trash burning our country today.

Wake up. Look around

I’m still under 45 and I don’t drag race on the streets.

Mostly because unless you bring about 700+ horsepower, your car is *not* going to out-accelerate my motorcycle and I don’t see any reason to bother with you if you didn’t. There aren’t many cars that can do 0-60 in 2.8 seconds or run high 9s/very low 10s in the quarter. Half throttle is enough to see off most ‘hot’ cars and that’s my normal pace for setting off from lights.

I felt the same way when I was able to ride my bike (my arthritis keeps me from being able to ride for the last 10 years now.) Frankly, while I miss being able to ride, given the idiocy of most car drivers today, I'm glad I gave up riding, though I really miss riding on the track.

If you can believe it; Just last week some folks were fantacizing about how great it will be when the new GM flying cars come out, and Uber/Lyft drivers can zip folks quickly where they want regardless of traffic. Well, at least until they revert to their gang personas, and start dive bombing one another with one or more fares onboard, or shooting each other out of the air. Travel will be exciting once again.

Normalcy bias leads people to trust "Uber" drivers.

The liberals at work always "take an Uber" when they are on business. I DO NOT. I will stay at the hotel, or rent a car. I want to be in control of the vehicle I'm riding in, especially in a place I don't know well. I need to come home safe to my family.

No way is a guy named Brian Tatum black.... But he is. See his photos at source. He plowed into the uber killing two women. File this one under “high on multiple drugs and alcohol”

“Brian Tatum, 45, has been charged with two counts of felony murder stemming from a high-speed chase in Houston that killed two Uber passengers”

Or rap sheets “as long as your arm” was the expression back then. Can you imagine a rap sheet printed out (best they could) in the 80s-90s and it was as long as the prosecutor’s arm?

I think this is another great opportunity to push the Tatum Report, a Tatum’s alternative to Drudge:

It is more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow.

“Having a Honda Accord might help that though...”

If you think that’s bad, try drag racing in a Honda Element! :-)

Allowed? People who have lost their licenses, either because of not having insurance or having too many tickets or too many DWIs, drive all the time. I see them both as a judge and as a prosecutor (different jurisdictions). Some just “have to get to work to support my family”, some just flip off the system and in effect say, “Waddya gonna do, Judge?” It’s the most frustrating thing a municipal court judge or prosecutor deals with - the frequent flyer scofflaw.

I made no mention of BLM or Antifa, but was referring to the likelihood a 20 year felon with the last name Tatum “might” be an urban feral black...And yet, DANG! if it ain’t so...But...Thank you Sir for your words of wisdom...I consider myself duly chastised...
