Ruggs is out on bail. Not sure when the trial is but with Covid it could be years away.

When the muscle car decided to run the red light was it being pursued by a violent gun?

Some greedy plaintiff lawyer will suggest the families sue the city.

Count on it.

A Dodge Challenger is more like a bucket of bolts. I pass them every night with only one head light.

I can’t say that bothers me any.

Way too often, the perp survives and justice is not done.

I’m curious about immigration status.

If it was a hellcat Challenger, it could have been going 180.

It it was a Hellcat, I bet is was going well over 100 mph (it will do 100mph in a standing 1/8th mile)

Spend a couple of years beating down the police and refusing to prosecute the few they actually arrest, and the streets turn into the playground of maniacs. Everyone has seen the videos of the bums, everyone has seen the videos of the cartel types taking over intersections for their burnout sessions.

The government has created this.
