Florida has no front plates...the cops were probably a thousand miles away, there are three counties in a VERY short distance and I really dont care because he did not rear-end me.

Why dont you run on over to Home Depot on 441 and see if there is a black Ford 500...white guy, early 30's in it...best chance is that possibly he is working at Home Depot. Good luck McGruff....

People drive drunk. They crash into another car and run away. That happened here. The police see who the car is registered to and track down the driver. Does this help prevent drunk driving or leaving the scene of an accident? I think so.
Get back to me after you find out what to say next.

Yeah, once they find a bullet or shell casing all "investigation" stops (for when the cops are not bumbling over their own failures in life). All that TV stuff about specific markings on bullets are only on TV..and only a registered person can drive a particular car...no cars are EVER stolen and or driven by other drivers...

Just today there was a dude (at about noon) in his black four door Ford 500...smoking a crack pipe and blowing the smoke out the window. He was in the car behind me (stopping at ALL the lights that were timed by a typical ignorant govt employee). He finally turned in towards Home Depot...yeah, I am sure he is a safe driver as well.

And, to further prove your are an idiot. MANY times a drunk driver will leave a scene...get away and SOBER UP...thus, DUI charges are futile.

Never mind the weapon of choice, in Orlando for instance was NOT a hand gun. AND, no one will ever know if the situation could have been mitigated had one or two of the people in the gay bar had a weapon. Too bad one of the women did not man up and tackle the guy.

Thanks again for getting involved.

I know you don't care as long as your safe. Drunk driving is a problem, not getting involved is a problem.

I hope no one got hurt. I have turned in drunk drivers.

The fact is he was driving just fine...maybe high as a kite, but driving fine. I didnt get rear ended...so be it. Now, if he was driving lane to lane and showing an impairment...I would have considered making a call. But, I would not hold my breath in waiting for a cop to show up. PLUS, if he was pulled over on just my word - any lawyer north of Leo Goetz would get the charges tossed.


Want to see what drivers are a terror? Look at the idiots in the squares, at Publix, most parking lots...and more often than not should NOT be driving due more to age than booze (or crack)

And you are calling me an idiot because I said registering cars does help prevent drunk driving. It helps the police but they can't do it alone. You can report a crime anonymously 800 423 TIPS.

This post sounds like you watched the entire Death Wish series with Charles Bronson. There are two very different ways to look at this. Your thinking seems to mirror the NRA's supporting more guns and ammo available with very little oversight will take care of crime. I am not a liberal and probably own as many handguns as you but strongly believe the 2nd amendment has been stretched all out of proportion and has made the United States a shooting gallery. Handguns should be registered, a very liberal stop and frisk law enacted regardless of personal rights, and permitting to carry a concealed weapon be more in depth. None of these would prevent so called "good guys" from obtaining and carrying a handgun. I don't know how in hell getting control over all the handguns already out there in the wrongs hands is going to be accomplished but I know flooding the country with more guns is not the answer. Maybe you're ok with your wife, children, grandchildren, etc all carrying a handgun but that is not a community I want to live in. Just another opinion.

But, you should fear the NRA because somehow they are responsible for all the bad things that happen related to guns.

OK....

When someone presents data -- hard data from a credible site all the Polar Opposite does is just dismiss the data over and over again .
It`s impossible to have a constructive discussion here . It`s just food-fights and name calling .
What`s the point ? It`s an out of control Birthday Party for 9 year old boys .

How would registering handguns save lives? Registering automobiles doesn't prevent drunk driving deaths.

I think Bernie has a sensible balance on this subject. I know he doesn't matter anymore as a candidate. But I admire how his views are not perfectly in line with all liberals. Agreeing with the NRA cost him an election years ago. But he would rather loose then be a hypocrite. What more can you ask of a person? You don't see that around here.
