Dog on top of cage being towed sparks outrage

newtboy says...

On top of a cage on a trailer is not in a pickup truck bed, and the implication that it is the same thing by animal control is maddening.

Hunters are right, those that don't hunt don't understand people callously endangering their animals for convenience. It does blow the b.s. claim that hunters often make, that they love their dogs like family and care for them accordingly, completely apart.

Black mob violence. The First Lady explains it all

newtboy says...

What the hell kind of ridiculous, race baiting, near slanderous, BS commercial for a racist's book was that?!?
Really, 'black mob violence' doesn't get much worse than that? I didn't see any chains attaching him to a pickup truck and dragging him to death. I didn't see him doused with gas and lit on fire. I didn't see him strung up from the nearest tree. If that's the limit of 'black mob violence', they have one hell of a long way to go to reach 'white mob violence' level. They aren't in the same league. I note they didn't explain events at all, and I note that BK conflates them with Black Lives Matter...but why?
Conflating a gang of thugs with the First Lady's speech about racism is about as infantile and disingenuous as it gets.
Happy to downvote this racist propaganda.

Red Neck trucker says NO to this blonde trying to merge...

newtboy says...

You said it. That's how people drive in town...at full speed....without collisions. It would have been perfectly safe if the truck had not accelerated into her spot after she was in the lane, or slowed even just slightly once he realized she was there. EDIT: Also, if that's not a safe distance, what do you call the distance the truck ends up with between him and the first car, WAY less distance than the second car had in front or behind at the start, about one car length, but only because the first car almost pushes the pickup truck trying to escape the semi.
If you are slower traffic, as the truck was, it's the law that you don't belong in the fast lane. Period. "Slower Traffic Keep Right" is the law, not a suggestion. If you've been passed on the right, you are absolutely slower traffic in the wrong lane.
You're nuts, the traffic in the fast lane passes him in the slow lane before they get there. He was NOT going faster than them until he floors it at 15 seconds. Listen carefully to his engine, you can hear him floor it, he's not on cruise control.
She did check, and there was room and she was going faster than the truck, so there should have been MORE room as time went on, she looked forward and made the lane change, then looked again 1/2 way through and there's suddenly an accelerating truck passing her on the shoulder. Then she looks to the other side and sees there's no way to avoid the other truck now, and it's either ram the slow truck or keep moving over and bump the faster truck, which she does.
I'm done. If you don't see what everyone else does, that's not my problem.

Safe to the extent that there was room, with a car length behind and ahead... That is how most people drive in town, or with less room. You do realize this is on a freeway, not in town, right. At freeway speeds, that space was too tight to be safe. Putting a car in that space makes that car immediately at an unsafe close distance to the car in front of it and behind it. At 60mph less than a car length between you is unsafe.

You also still seem to be repeating that the truck had no business being in the fast lane? Look at the start of the video, our truck driver is having to SLOW DOWN to match the speed of traffic in the fast lane. He absolutely is not too slow for that lane.

Finally, per the space available for that lane change, there is no way that car makes a lane change into a space that small, and does it that slowly without ever checking their shoulder, unless they are a terrible, terrible driver.

Red Neck trucker says NO to this blonde trying to merge...

Shepppard says...

You probably should, as the issue of him intentionally closing the gap is addressed numerous times by the fact that this isn't a pickup truck, it's a semi, which is incapable of speeding up that quickly to intentionally block the person trying to merge, and if you pay closer attention to the cars ahead of the truck, it looks more like the gap was closed from the front, not behind (traffic looks to be slowing down as it nears the top of a hill)

"The blond" also doesn't signal that they're merging until just before they're literally moving into the lane which means that a Semi would basically not have the time to slow down to avoid the collision anyway.

*Note, proper lane changing technique is: Check your mirror, put on your blinker, check your blind spot, merge. NOT - put on signal, merge.

TLDR, but I'm on board with @newtboy. The trucker really seems to be intentionally closing the gap only after the VW starts to enter the lane (I'd assume to teach "this blonde" a lesson). Before then he is maintaining a steady distance from the Nissan.

Also, really interesting sight at 0:30 to 0:33 is you can see that only the front tires on the other truck are completely stopped but going forward as if they're still turning.

Tim Shoots His Thumb Off on Doomsday Preppers Shooting

CaptainObvious says...

The most important thing to have when it hits the fan is a community. No family is going to do well without the help and support of their community no matter how many guns and bullets you have. Gun ownership in America is over 40% I think (or close to that) - so EVERYONE is going to be packing in bad times. Its going to be about trust and community - that's where the true power of defense is going to be.

Guns (and cars) are very unforgiving, you have to have proper training and a uncompromising level of safety when you have them out.

The family in this clip had no business firing those guns - especially the kids - (I saw numerous safety violations) and if you watch several of the other episodes you get to see some pretty horrendous gun handling that would make anyone cringe (def a safety hazard).

That being said, I personally have pulled a gun twice in self defense (once in uniform) and once as a civilian. I would probably not be here now if I had not been carrying.

I don't want to be labelled pro-gun as I see both sides of the issue, and I also have fear of the "idiots" out there, including the ones driving big ass pickup trucks tailgating me inches away while I am driving my entire family.

Idiots are a danger with or without a gun.

Stupidity kills.

Camaro catches fire and burns inside transport trailer

Sagemind says...

Once you have a fire like that start up - what you really want is for the flames to get strong enough to do a significant amount of damage.

What you don't want is an insurance adjuster saying, "We can just fix that" because it will never be the same, ever - Your best option is replacement of destroyed property. (In this case the car and the trailer.

And, hey, they almost got a new pickup truck as well.
