What these assholes don't care about is the pollution they generate. I hope all that tire smoke gives them lung diseases.

(31,904 posts)3. you also would need to demonstrate some amount of safety
the wannabees can't do that (roll cage, safety harness, fire control, etc)
All of that. It is about taking over a place and showing what assholes they are creating unsafe conditions on purpose. I wonder when this country will come to its senses or if we will just keep unraveling.
