First of all I want to apologize for mild language that eventually might find appearance in this post. If this forum doesn't tolerate posts like that, please let me know.

I live in Europe (Switzerland) where almost everything is peaceful and quiet. So one day I stumbled on some street takeover videos on certain social media. I have seen many of those videos (sadly) and the only thing that makes me wonder is how f*cking stupidly retarted some people can be. What is the appeal to trash a car for the amusement of others?? Ah yes, I forgot, these cars are stolen cars. Now imagine you take care of your car, service it as it should be, pay a **** ton of cash for it and then some f*cking stupid as*holes steal it just to trash it. It even makes me furious just writing down these words. They just drift it into poles or sidewalks and if the car doesn't run anymore, they just ******* burn it down nobody cares.

I've read about a wife and her husband in her MR2. They came to an intersection in Tolland, got blocked off and the MR2 got completely destroyed. Not a single body panel was intact afterwards. I would be devastated! But those idiots don't care about things like moral or respect.

Seriously, what the f*ck is wrong over there in the states? Is this kind of event often seen? How do you US-Americans deal with this stuff? Or is this sh*t just pushed on social media and it isn't actually a big deal?

Everyone who thinks takeovers are cool should rethink their morals. Everybody that supports those **** events should get their penises sliced off and everyone that participates (drive the cars) on these events should be found with attempted murder (because of the stupid blokes that stand there thinking it is a briliant idea to be there) and go to jail for at least 15 years. That's how to make your roads safer, Johnny John McBiden.

I apologize to all the people who had to read my rant (no sorry to the takeover people, just go f*ck yourself).
And the most important thing: DON'T CALL THESE PEOPLE "CAR ENTHUSIASTS"! THEY ARE CRIMINALS! WE CAR GUYS DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM!
 
The couple should have run over everyone in their way to get to safety... But this is CT, criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens. They would have been arrested
 
Cleveland Ohio cut up the intersection so it wouldn’t be as easy for them to do donuts. They did arrest individuals from Columbus. It’s insane.

Not here. We live like you should. And it is also No permit concealed carry too.
 
No, it's not fake news. All the big cities that have been changed over the years have issues. Being from the Detroit aera I can tell you a whole lot of **** goes down that's not even reported on the news. And they steal Chargers and Challengers like crazy. They even go to the Chrysler (or whatever it is today) plants and steal 5 or 6 Hellcats at a time. Now the hellcat pickups are going fast too. A year or 2 ago a few street racers were racing and some Fing asshoe started doing donuts, I believe it was a stolen charger at the top end and swung the *** end out and the racer hit him. DEAD. Carjacking is normal here also. Thank goodness this is a carry state.
 
You need to be complaining to your local Mayors and police force,

You need to be bringing change and accountability!

It's no forum members fault that your local government does not represent you. Change that.

I do agree that those that do this should be punished. This will end our hobby quickly!
 
Ya, they go after them but the bottom line is nobody gives a **** except for themselves They say I'm doing good and just live a good life until someone runs into their family then they cry why hasn't someone done something. Arrogantance and greed is about all that's left. Damn contractors (most but not my one friend) are the worst. One ran my wife down in Home Depot with his flat cart and didn't even stop to see if she was alright. When's the last time you seen someone even help an old person with their groceries.
 
Keep shutting down the race tracks and the kids just get pushed to the streets. Street racing is nothing new. Just how stupid people are, is…. I went to some “sideshows” in Oakland / San Francisco 20 years ago, and they were almost as much mayhem as they are today…
 
That kinda thing would never happen in this county. They'd shut that crap down so fast, it'd be like it never started. lol
 
I dont understand it either, in Australia there is plenty of street drags etc but none of this. Yet average American tells you how much rights they have due to having their guns. Yet get bottom dweller behaviour like this because everyone to scared to do anything due to worrying if they carrying. The cops do nothing as know they out numbered and will be turned on

That is probably because of the demographic of where you live. The public won't tolerate it and law enforcement and justice system reflect that.
Certain parts of the country are ran by people that in a roundabout way, make excuses for bad behavior and even IF there are laws in place, they don't prosecute the people that commit certain crimes. It is horribly misguided and only encourages MORE bad behavior.

I've witnessed our Sheriff, Butch Reese stand in the middle of our O'Reilly store when I worked there and say "I'll deputize every one of you in here and as many others as I need to keep law and order in Jones County". This was back when a "certain demographic" was threatening to riot pretty much everywhere in the country after the George Floyd debacle. He meant every word of it too and he can do it. He's a good old dude.
 
That reminds me of Joe Arpaio from Arizona.

Yeah very similar. But he doesn't have much opposition around here. Here he is at the 2023 Sheriff's association awards banquet congratulating Jackson County Georgia Sheriff Janis Mangun for her 2023 Sheriff of the year win. He doesn't look like a Sheriff, does he? He is and he's a fine friend to have. He ain't been Sheriff of this county 44 years for nuthin. lol
