Careful now. Certain oversized low IQ individuals here have taken offence with the 'tard reference.

I don't see why this couldn't settle quickly if the dude makes enhanced restitution right away, rather than dragging it out, making the victim sue for damages, etc.

Have him pay to make the victim's vehicle better than it was right now by fixing the pre-existing damage and a total repaint, have him pay a fine, and give him probation for a year. I think that would be fair, and it would take the case off the docket. He'd have to be inconvenienced back home in NY checking in with a probation officer once a month, plus paying those fees.

And maybe FL will catch a break, and they'll sell the house there, because they won't want to be embarrassed every time they go there. Surely all the neighbors know what happened.
He does NOT own that house. No idea how rich he is or is not. The victim's insurance will pay to fix it. It is their option to recover damages from the ugly lib. I hope he enjoyed that key lime pie and coffee he got from Winn-Dixie.

If I'm the victim, I don't want to make an insurance claim, even on the comprehensive portion, because even though that's not supposed to raise my rates....activity is activity, and insurers don't like that, the reason most don't turn in low value claims. But yeah, that's one way to go, collect from the insurance company and have the insurer subrogate, collect their money back, as well as the deductible amount.

I worked in insurance decades ago, and saw that play out many times....months or years later, we cut a check for the insured's deductible TO the insured, usually because we eventually got the other party's insurance company to accept liability when the initial claim was in dispute.

And you may be right, this guy may not want to pay up immediately, and drag things out, because he's clearly led by emotion, and not reason. If that's the case, if I was the D.A., I'd go for the slam dunk felony conviction and ask for some jail time.

My pragmatic solution for this was holistic.....what's best for the victim, what's best for the D.A.'s office, and what's best for the taxpayers of that county, while still impressing on the guy that this isn't acceptable.

I'm betting he's done things like this before, just never been caught. If you got a DWI, for example, chances are you'd driven drunk many times before you ended up getting pulled for it, same with speeding, etc.



EDIT: At 8:22 on the video, the arresting officer says the guy owns that house.

The arresting officer is wrong. I thought you didn't take a cop's word for anything.....

I hope he choked on it, and it gave him the runs the next day.

The problem with Gadsden haters is they are stupid, and have no idea what they are talking about.

I have a friend who is Norwegian, and has a Norwegian flag sticker on his car. All kinds of idiots have called him all kinds of names because they can't tell the difference between the Confederate flag and the Norwegian flag. I would support the idea that my friend should get to neuter them on the spot.

England is having a similar, yet different, controversy over the St. George flag, St. George being the patron saint of England. Apparently that's offensive now, due in no small part to mass migration of the 3rd World to England. Probably doubly triggering, because it's a flag emblazoned with the Christian cross. How horrible for a Christian country to have a symbol like that be displayed.

No different than the Muzzy countries not allowing the Red Cross in, requiring a change to Red Crescent. So tolerant...

I was hoping the owner of the truck would have punched him, and maybe slapped the wife around a little.

The wife sure looked like an ice queen, so maybe he was just acting out after years of being henpecked by her.


Edit: For what it's worth, this cop did great, very professional. Got the confession and got the guy in cuffs and into the car quickly.

I learned a long time ago not to put things around my house or on my cars that trigger the vandals and other low forms of life out there!

I've seen several around here, unmolested. Apparently I live in a nice Republican stronghold.

Referring to the Albany NY area, a very liberal enclave! Where I now live, very conservative but old habits die hard.

Slewfoot is a liberal woman. You certainly cannot call him a man.




Liberals when Trump posts mean tweets.

Tell me about it. I grew up in the car theft capital of the world. And that meant bicycles and break-ins too. I left that shithole 45 years ago and still lock up everything.
