Then why did they put them on the Tampa bridge AFTER it was stuck and failed? Because it's better than nothing.

ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. And why our inept government didn't mandate this for any large water crossing after Tampa is beyond me. I guess not enough people died. |

You remain an idiot.
Where did I say that I was an expert. I didn’t you ignorant fool. I will indulge you with the facts though. I ran my BIL’s 27’ Trojan FB and his 31’ Bertram FBSF all over the Patapsco River, Middle River, Baltimore Harbor, Curtis Bay, Stony Creek, Rock Creek and much of the upper Chesapeake Bay. Including the Hart and Miller islands. My sister and bil lived on the water in Edgmere off the Brewer Channel. And another sister who lived near the water in Fells Point and kept their 30’ Tierra at a nearby marina. (Although I never ran that boat. But spent plenty of time on it). I also was on many smaller rigs out of Essex on Back River, or out of Dundalk on Preach creek or Bullneck Bay and several charter boats in those waters fishing for Rockfish. Even today 30 years later I know that I could navigate those waters with nothing more than a compass and a paper nav map. I grew up there. My dad worked at the steel mill at Sparrows Point. I have family and friends who worked at the port (some still do). I know the area and the waters quite well. But never claimed expert status. Wise up fool. |

It’s democrat ****wads like yourself who have blood on your hands because the liberals who you support won’t prosecute these thugs usually because they are black. Go ahead and look at this picture and remember it tonight when you lay your head down. I hope it haunts you and keeps you awake. |

Had the cop simply told the guy to move along, he can't stand or park in front of a bus stop, that probably would have ended the interaction with nobody getting shot. In other words, it reads to me like this officer wanted to make a big deal over some ticky tack bullshit, and he found a guy that wasn't having any of that. The only way it doesn't track that way is if the guy had warrants, the officer had already run the tag and discovered the guy was wanted. That's possible, and if so, I don't blame the cop for demanding the ID, get out of the car, etc. That would certainly be justified. But I haven't read yet that the guy actually had a warrant or warrants. And if that was the case, he was wanted, I don't understand why this cop didn't call for a little backup if he knew he was dealing with a 21 time criminal with warrants before engaging the guy. Again, either way, the cop didn't deserve what happened, just to be clear. |

The boat left the dock did a u and came down the port side of the channel, which is east, and north. I do not know the oncoming approach protocol in the BMore Harbor, but I will blindly bet you $100 it was starboard yesterday. Port is fairly standard most places, but the master clearly brought it down the north side of the channel. The collision happened as the boat turned almost directly south.

Well, you seem to talk up quite bit. Was just curious on your experience in a vessel of that size? You speak of DEI. Really? You feel the pilot missed the mark. Possible, but if the engines failed and or controllability is lost, marks are irrelevant. Shoot, you can apply this to a go kart! Shit Happens and the first thing you come up with is DEI or 1/2 a dozen other leftist finger pointing when one has nothing to do with the other. |

I guess it is "acceptable losses" for residents to murder but not or illegals or documented? WTH is that? |

Remember the Takata airbag mess? They were defective, so when they went off, they shot lethal shrapnel right at the driver, killing some, maiming many more. Had Takata not screwed up and shipped defective airbags, those people would be alive today. And that's not actually as bad as what Team Brandon is doing. Team Brandon is INTENTIONALLY flooding the country with the human version of time bomb airbags, just waiting to go off. LATB, correct me if I'm wrong here, I am pretty sure that's your argument. |

and most politicians would look at spending $$$ to protect a bridge that has never been hit as a waste of their money they could spend elsewhere on other projects that directly impact their voters. rip rap does not have a natural constituency, but senior centers do. so do schools and new roads....thus no one was looking to spend money protecting bridges from impact. and how many bridges link Manhattan to the rest of the world? |

Well, the workers killed while filling potholes were from south of the border.

Yes we do BUT the actual FACTS don't align with the FJB regime and therefore it will remain hidden "or under investigation
