Fast and Furious style unsanctioned street car shows causing damage in the Oakland California area as of late. Included in a driver hitting a fire plug. People who working in area say they are frequently threatened if they take cell phone video.

There causing issues all over the country including shutting down major highways. Around here many parking lots and rarely traveled stretches of road are full of donut/circle tire tracks.

Street drag racers need to be Duterte'd That's death waiting to happen. I don't give a damn if the reckless racers themselves end up killing themselves, but it's unacceptable that they put others at risk.

Looks like some criminals are finally getting smarter. Too many morons out there are constantly filming their own crimes. Reminds me of the classic Stringer Bell line "Is you takin' notes on a criminal ******* conspiracy?!" Not that these people aren't morons though; they are still putting the lives of themselves and others at risk with their actions.

Yeah, how about we don't propose extrajudicial killings and executions for crimes like street racing, okay?
What, should speeding in any instance be grounds for being executed in the streets? What about changing lanes without signaling? Trying to make a yellow light and hitting a split-second of red while in the intersection?

Those scourges of the Earth are engaging in inherently dangerous and deadly behavior in residential areas. I maintain what I wrote as applied to this situation, though I'm happy to expand it as applied to others as the topic permits

You seriously putting street racing in the same category as lane changing without signaling? Maybe that attitude explains some of the idiotic behavior I see on the streets.

Repped. I made the comment that I did (knowing full well that it isn't going to happen) precisely because of the deathly seriousness of street drag racing.
