I am pissed off that I watched that video, and they didn't show the damn dash bong.
Indeed, I wanted to see how the crazy mounted his bong on the dashboard. Adhesive, self-tapping screws, bolts, etc...on a gryo base?
bro they said built into the dash!
“custom bong device built into the dash ..."
yeah we GOTTA see this shit
yeah, i can think of a few rigs that are pretty easy to slap together but like, i'm stealing your rims if you want me to do that. and your distributor. fuck driving inebriated, i'll build you a hotbox but not a rolling one.
This is the post where I quit thinking you were cool. Now if you'll excuse me it's my rip, can't smoke drive and text. Not enough hands!
knees dude knees
I KNOW RIGHT WHY DO YOU THINK WE EVEN CLICKED ON THIS
What a great example of why police chases shouldn't be a thing, the cop was more dangerous than Smokey Pete.
Cop tried bumping the truck on a fucking two-lane road with a car coming the opposite way. Holy Cheez-its.
I remember them shooting at a hijacked FedEx truck
It couldn't go fast anyway, had a tracker and was stuck in traffic with cars everywhere.
It was going nowhere.
No negotiating or thinking, the cops just started firing.
They killed everyone in the truck (driver/victim also) and at least 1 (or more if I remember correctly) of the unlucky commuters in the line of fire.
No negotiating or thinking, the cops just started firing.
They were thinking ... about how good the sex was going to be that night.
It's almost as it cops aren't intelligent.
From another article:
*Two pursuits. Both were terminated because his driving was so reckless that it was dangerous to keep chasing him. He was blowing through intersections at high speed through downtown Olympia and into Lacey.
That’s how innocent people die. A family heading home. A kid crossing the street. We’re handing the wheel to a driver who’s apparently high on meth and fentanyl and has no intention of stopping.*
I have been living my whole life wrong.
Ok but the judge already said that.
He definitely needs to get arrested 2 more times now
322*
Inside the truck officers found a “custom bong device built into the dash of the truck so he could comfortably smoke drugs while driving”. Meth, heroin, and fentanyl were also discovered, as well as the stolen items.
The driver of the truck had 97 prior arrests. He is facing charges of DUI, eluding, and possession of narcotics. The passenger was turned over to Centralia PD for organized retail theft.
Goddamn dude
Woah!
…based based based based based…
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.
Two more and he'll get a free ice cream
Do I smell a late night talk show?!
Bongs & Bastards
I knew he wasn't black, (the odds of being arrested 97 without being fatally shot is too small) but is he an ex-cop or related?
What I see from the banana republic it doesn't take too much, certainly repeat offenses to put you in jail for decades/life.
This guy still can drive and what's even more strange is the lack of name and mugshot.
American news invariably shame their criminals, publish the address etc..
So who is this guy?
Nobody. Washington seems to have a lot of repeat offenders that are in and out of the legal system. There's been multiple instances where someone out on bail commits another crime and makes headlines.
98!
that's Epstein levels of protection if you're still free.
This guy is aiming for the high score apparently? It's astounding this man has such a lengthy record and was still roaming free. I wonder how long until he's out again?
"high" speed chase indeed
Someone pardon this man.
Reminds me of a story I heard like 20-30 years ago. Some German dude wrecked his Merc on the autobahn… the cops get there and he just wreaks of schnapps but they find no bottles, no means of consumption. The car gets towed to a police station to be examined and they found that he had diverted the window washing tank into the cabin, dude wants a pug of schnapps and he hits his window washer button.
That is a level of ingenuity that I love to see in people. Application of it is nooot great but he's got the spirit.
Don’t you mean spirits?
Dumbass cop was about to pitt maneuver this truck into an innocent car.
If Grand Theft Auto were a Souls-like.
A high speed chase, or a high speed chase?
Also: wtf was with the pit maneuver when oncoming traffic was like less than a 100 feet ahead? Dumbass shit.
