Reader Mike L. sends me this heartening news:
Dangerous street takeovers are happening more and more often in Oklahoma City and across the nation, which is why an updated city ordinance is cracking down on large groups of people who illegally block intersections, roads, or parking lots. Street takeovers can include street racing, or can simply involve participants using their vehicles to block intersections while they take over the area with friends.
Not only do illegal takeovers increase crime, they also block medical responders during emergencies.
The updated ordinance includes vehicles being impounded for 90 days, while participants can be jailed for 60 days, as well as face fines of more than $2,000.
My only suggestion is that the towed cars are taken not to impound lots, but straight to scrapyards where the car crushers are waiting. To paraphrase Samuel Johnson: nothing concentrates the mind more than an imminent crushing.
And the fine takes away the deposit for a replacement.
What isn’t said in the article is that the participants in these “takeovers” are almost exclusively black. In fact, if you see any event advertised as a “takeover” of any type, rest assured that it’s a black event.
In San Diego, it’s a “multi-cultural” event.
Whilst I’m in sympathy with this, I cant help but think what that little up north cunt Trudeau would have done with this.
Fukkim. They voted for him, they get to live with him. (Sorry, Fred.)
F Fidel Trudeau with a running chainsaw.
which would be more effective use of the confiscated cars, crushing or auction? The criminal would essentially be paying to fatten the coffers of the local constabulary rather than honest tax payers which would be nice for a change. The VT state police used to auction off confiscated materials from drug dealers. They marked the items discreetly and would often sell the grow lights taken from pot growers numerous times.
