I thought they bought their way out of mass murder, didn't they cut a deal to pay a pittance and slide away on a trail of slime? Maybe they should pay Joe Manchin more money and perhaps he can get them off the west Virginia charges by blocking everything the democrats want to do. Paying fines for mass murder is a new legal low, I mean a few billion could have gotten the Nazi's off the hook for genocide, using that logic.

I had a bicyclist do something similar a few weeks ago. They're "SUPPOSED" to follow the rules of the road just like a car, but more times than not they don't.

Around here they all wear gear like they're in the Tour de France and ride in the middle of the road, two or three wide, ignoring red lights and stop signs.

I had come to the 4 way stop down the street from my house, stopped, and headed out when these two bikes roll right through the stop sign at around 20mph. I hammered the brakes and barely missed hitting them. They yelled and threw the bird at me and both crashed head long into the F150 they never saw coming the other way.

I think the Feces of the Master Race is probably my favorite thread here. Every update is just as delicious as the one before!

An accused Capitol rioter shot and killed a mountain lion after he was released from jail -- and was prohibited from possessing firearms.

Patrick Montgomery was allowed to return home to Colorado after he allegedly stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and kicked a police officer, but federal prosecutors have filed a motion to revoke his release after he posed for a photo with the 170-pound mountain lion he killed, reported the Washington Post.

"Given that Montgomery has repeatedly and flagrantly violated both state and federal law while on pretrial release in this case — including by possessing and using a firearm — the Government respectfully requests that the Court revoke his release pending trial," prosecutors said in the motion.

The 48-year-old Montgomery was identified by Facebook friends who saw photos he posted of himself inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection, and one notified him that he had been reported to the FBI.

"I'm not a scared cat or running from anything," Montgomery responded, according to court documents. "I didn't storm the castle violently. My group was let in peacefully by the police we were talking to with respect."

However, prosecutors said Montgomery tried to grab a police officer's baton, wrestled him to the ground and kicked him in the chest before presenting both of his middle fingers at the officer.

The Littleton resident was arrested Jan. 17 on 10 counts, but state authorities began investigating him a short time later for the illegal killing of a bobcat.

Montgomery then killed the mountain lion on March 31 and posed for a photo with its body, but federal prosecutors said he was not supposed to have a gun at that time due to a court order and a previous conviction in 1996 for armed robbery in New Mexico.

He told state wildlife authorities that he committed the robberies while "doing stupid stuff" in college and was "knocking stores over to get travel money," according to court records.

Montgomery claims to have trapped 100 mountain lions in the past five years, and state officials were unable to find any provision in his past plea agreement that allowed him to possess guns, as he claims.

A court appearance was scheduled for Monday to finalize conditions of his bond and house arrest.

In a park too, he was real a manly man, hunting with a fucking hand gun and dogs FFS. It's ok though, he has white privilege and won't go to jail for the gun, or killing the mountain lion, or even sacking the capital. He's special.

I will give it to him if he was only hunting with a handgun without the dogs. The animal will have more of a chance against a handgun than a rifle. The hunting in a park, I bet the animals are a little less concerned with people around.

This has to be in southern Arizona!!

I hate El Tour de Tucson when they barricade about 100 miles around the perimeter of the city so they can slow traffic to do their yearly bike race with thousands of cyclist. I'm all for competition and exercise but do you see me playing my sport in the middle of the Goddamn road? Even kids yell "Car," and move out of the way!! Lol

What kills me is that we have parks with fantastic bike paths made for exactly that, but these idiots had rather go out and pump carbon monoxide from car exhaust into their lungs and get run over by people that get pissed off at them for breaking every rule of the road.

I always thought the same thing! How great can all that cardio be with a ton of carbon monoxide around?! Clearly, it is killing their brain cells no matter the state they are in. Now, they all reside and cycle in the state of stupidity! Lol

Long time cyclist here, no funny shorts though. The paths do not necessarily go where you want. I used to travel back and forth to work every day and of a 40 minute ride (moving at a good clip) only a 5 minute section was separated bike lane. I did stay off the main streets during rush hour home, self preservation.

I used to live in Silicon Valley and tried to ride my bike there. Dealing with car exhaust was one thing but I gave up because the traffic was so intense that I felt I was risking life and limb -- for fitness. I gave up and started going to a relatively safe athletic center. Later on, when a friend told me about her adventures biking to work in the same area, I expressed concern for her. Not long after, she was wrecked when a car ran into her. A life changing event for her.

So, yeah, I get your point but the real threat are the drivers.

Sometimes this happens, though:

A bicyclist was charged with manslaughter after he ran through a stop sign and struck and killed a 71-year-old woman, police said Monday.

Jean Calder died at Good Samaritan Hospital after she was struck Friday night as she crossed a street at an unmarked crosswalk, Corvallis police Capt. Ron Noble said.

Christopher A. Lightning, 51, was charged with manslaughter and reckless driving.

“A car and a bicycle are both vehicles and if they are operated in a way that could be criminal, then charges are filed equally in both situations,” Noble said. “He was going right through a stop sign.”

It happened at night and the bicyclist didn't even have lights. He ran the stop completely invisible to all other vehicles. Then he hit a pedestrian who could have no way to know he was coming toward her.

I certainly don't mean to make light of anyone's misfortunes and am sorry for your friend. I think biking is a great sport, but it's not logical in most instances for cyclist to be around cars on any main road period. If you mix the two together, they are going to collide eventually. Cars are the threat because the road is intended for them, not bikes.

I really do wish municipalities would move all El Tour de Anything COMPLETELY AWAY from where cars are. I live in a big ass state and the 100 mile race goes completely along the perimeter of the extremely busy city. Seperating them is the only way to completely protect the cyclist simply due to such great speed variances, size, visibility and weight between the two.

I may have gotten this thread side tracked with the wrong kind of master race! A bike race!
