For cryin’ out loud, it’s an official motorcade!! “Man, those people in funeral processions, why do they get to run all the red light’s too? They should follow the law like everybody else. Who do they think they are?”
Fine, if there are.
Are there any laws on the books saying that the Mayor of Chicago does not have to stop at red lights, and can ignore speed limits?
Show those last to me, or shut up. You argue like liberal
I was just in a funeral procession. We stopped at stop signs; we stopped at red lights. We slowed down in the right lane and let the tail end catch up.
Mayors and governors break the traffic laws on the way to baseball games, fundraisers, glad handing appearances. It is seldom that they are on there way to emergency meetings or legislative sessions. No, they consider their time simply more important than anyone else’s and they have made their schedules accordingly.
When NJ Gov. Corzine had his accident, his lights-and-sirens entourage was travelling 91 mph, ran a startled motorist off the road on to the shoulder, and then swerved. What EMERGENCY was Corzine going to? Well he was going to facilitate a kiss-and-make-up-grovel-and-study session between Don Imus and the Rutgers women’s basketball team. I’m just glad it was Corzine who was hurt and not the poor schmoe they ran off the road.
