Goddamn dude
97 prior arrests sounds like police harrassment, not illegal behavior.
logic this through with me. if he'd been convicted, there would be a hell of a lot fewer arrests.
Under other circumstances, I might agree with you, but the guy built a bong into his dashboard.
That's an impressive level of commitment to DUI.
it's not convictions, it's arrests. after i'd been arrested (not convicted) 60 times, fuck obeying the law. the social contract broke.
Fuck endangering other people
fuck harassing people to the point they feel all life is worthless
Pretty sure that is ALSO endangering other people
Yeah I was agreeing, but in a fuck the police way. Seriously how did he get to 90 arrests. After 10 they should have had social services there to see why and how they could help. You can't get to that many arrests without police intentionally fucking up the prosecution to let him go and arrest him again.
Where in the dash was it built? Maybe our hero is the designated driver with a passion for making sure that passengers riding shotgun never have to be sober.
Woah!
…based based based based based…
Extremely unresponsible to be driving under the influence of hard drugs. If someone is going to be smoking meth and fentanyl, they should at least have the reason to not be driving.
I mean… it didn’t say he was smoking anything but weed out of the bong… probably but FFS, how about the 99 priors??? How was this asshole even behind the wheel of a vehicle? This stinks of a CI.
you shouldn’t be driving while smoking weed either
I don’t think I ever claimed that one should. WTF know, maybe dude was talking the drugs to him mom so riddled with cancer she can’t live without the biggest pharmaceutical grade hammer we have… maybe not. I’ll be withholding judgement after the last Last Week Tonight.
Probably not your jam either, but even my conservative parents enjoy watching it. And I swear they listened to NPR for 5 years just to yell at the radio 😂
The article said there was fentanyl, meth, and heroin. I'd guess that he wasn't just transporting it.
I’m not saying he wasn’t using a bit of himself. I’m just saying a bong is typically used to smoke weed. Given the potency of Fentanyl I doubt he was just casually sprinkling a bit on top for flavor 😝
Did you expect him to walk to the liquor store?
So close to 100! Wonder what the Guinness World Record is?
