Hey, he wasn’t driving. The horse was driving. He was just a passenger.
See what I can do with my degree from Havard Law School that I found in a cracker jack box?
When you mount a horse as a rider, that does not make you a mere passenger. The horse is not going to autonomously take you where you need to go. A horse is not going to voluntarily go onto a major boulevard as if it was just another car. You will need to essentially “drive” the horse, therefore you now assume the role of being a driver and become responsible for where that horse goes.
They didn’t arrest the horse? How can this be? This is California, after all, and isn’t the horse held to be a co-conspirator in this traffic chase?
Clearly the horse was a Democrat. Or at least an illegal immigrant registered and voting as a Democrat. < /sarcasm >
