He should've looked better. On the other hand, looked like the first biker was straddling the lane markings, would've made it harder to see him. The guy on the second bike was a complete idiot.

Oops, here's the biker equivalent of the guys who spin their Cobras and Dodge Vipers out and pile them up because of more torque than they know what to do with:

Looked like Porsche driver slowed down when he saw the bike going out of control. He just did manage to dodge flying shrapnel. Seemed like he paused long enough to make sure he wasn't in trouble before he split. I'm not sure I would've hung around either once I saw the kid get up and walk away. He was walking pretty well in spite of that pronounced tumble that he was thrown into.

Take a guess how car thieves would respond to no licensing. Would be a GD field day. W/o traffic cops would be on a downhill slope to Mad Max Road Warrior action. People would have to pack sidearms to keep from being hijacked and otherwise molested.

Look what happened during the BLM summer. When it became clear that cops more than had their hands full, people whose default setting is "I ain't getting enough cool stuff and it's somebody else's fault" quickly saw the excellent opportunity for a really low price shopping spree. The Emeryville Best Buy saw numerous upstanding citizens wheeling out the best big screen TVs they could get their hands on. A cannabis dispensary in Oakland was completely boarded up a few days after the spree, Spray painted on some of the plywood covering the door were the words "no pot inside."

One of the most dramatic events took place at a Dodge dealership in San Leandro, just south of Oakland. Citizens found the key safe, cut it open, and drove off with over 70 new cars. One particularly sought after model was driven out from the main show room, crashing through the glass.

One of the lucky shoppers was shot and killed about a week later when cops discovered him and his girlfriend in a stolen Dodge Demon Diablo 900 hp gentleman's automobile. They approached the vehicle and he started a helter skelter 'Imo get TF outta here' maneuver and they shot him. His family was not happy, they said all he was trying to do was drive away at high-speed with cops all around his car.

Smile Of Course.....

I find it funny that husky man is now pretending to support law and order when he also says the entire legal system is corrupt and all cops are bad .

Remember, he used to claim t be both a lawyer and judge .

The irony here is priceless .
