Scruit

You are displaying the classic signs of armchair quarterbacking. Have you even been in in that kind of situation? I can't imagine anyone having the presence of mind to remain calm when you are POSSIBLY going to die. Seriously, come down to our Dojo on jujitsu night and we'll show you a couple things. 1) An unarmed person can kill you in seconds 2) It takes training, confidence and mental preparation to remain calm when you are overpowered and pinned, even in a controlled environment. An untrained person being overpowered in an uncontrolled environment has no chance. I spar on a regular basis, and I roll Jujitsu twice a week. I'm over 6'2, 210lbs and I get tapped out by smaller, better trained fighters more than I care to admit. Even rolling with folks I know and trust it gets in your head when you get locked up - even though I know I can stop at any moment by tapping out. I am slowly learning to use technique rather than brute force because brute force lasts about a minute and technique stays with you forever, but that's where training, patience and confidence comes in.

New Philadelphia to Youngstown is an hour and a half, and to the Falls is like 5 hours. Seven hours?? You can't help but blame both of them. The driver should have been asking why he's still in Ohio after 2 hours if they went 77 to 76 towards 80.

Magley's theme song, to the tune of Rawhide: Trollin' trollin' trollin', now my junk is swollen, keep them posters rollin', rawhide. Don't make no sense, no never, touch myself in leather. With never a girlie by my side. All the things I'm missin', sound logic, sense to listen, are waiting at the end of my ride.

The way I read the story it wasn't a legitimate shotgun inside the toy gun - it was an improvised shotgun / "zip gun". That is illegal under California Penal Code 12020 (A) (1). A "zip gun" is any device that was not imported as a firearm by a licensed importer AND not manufactured as a gun by a licensed manufacturer AND no tax was paid on it, nor tax exemption granted AND is made or altered to fire a projectile by an explosion. Funnily enough, if he had put a REAL shotgun inside a supersoaker he'd have been fine as long as it still met length requirements.

Sounds like he is a convicted felon.

So who got the kid while they were scraping calamari off the side of the church?

Same reason you can't just go test-drive a Ferrari. Idiots would go joyride it just because they can.

I ride a 2011 vstom 650 and love it. Some days I wish for the power of the 1k, but on days I go fill up I'm happy for my 50mpg+

So he was riding a non-abs bike? (black stripe) Hoping for a full recovery. I wonder who pays what for the bike? I'm assuming they checked his endorsement and his insurance... If I was to guess it would be the bike's insurance paying for it, but an at-fault accident on him and his rates going up - unless he signed a waiver that he would pay for the damages/use his own insurance like a rental car. EDIT: He'd have to be dangerously inexperienced or going dangerously fast to fail to make that corner. GSXR750? Betcha he was giving it some.

Lucky you. The rest of us only have a few inches.

Was it a gsxr or a strom? Or were there two wrecks?

Sure. 3 hots and a cot for life.

Never said the car was for her. Might have been trying to mortgage the house for a new Vette for himself. You never know.. Sure as sugar ain't getting a car now. He'll be too old to drive by the time he gets out of prison.

WHAT? Absolutely not! HOW DARE YOU? If he had wanted to buy a motorcycle, then sure...

Anyone got a link to a news story or anything? Can't believe a fatal accident would have no reporting at all.

Was at IP yesterday for a new helmet for my boy. Saw the Suzuki tent but didn't ride for the same reason MT stated.

And the moment a cop tases someone, he's demonized.

Taser only crosses 2 cumulative inches of airgap. There's tiny gap on each gun-to-cartridge contact, leaving less than an inch of airgap that each probe can cross. A winter jacket will render the taser useless.

Direct quote from a witness. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/18/Trayvon-MMA-style-attack Who's getting emotional, again?

How quick can you change a taser cartridge? Only tried it with unfired cartridges, so the buttons on the side are difficult to press with the wires still bunched up. Still, about 5 seconds is my record. That actually sucks. If you miss you'd better be ready to drive-stun or you're now defenseless while you transition to another weapon.
