Rollin' Coal - teenager takes out 6 cyclists

I doesn't get much stupider than this. I'm guessing the kid is wealthy and white.

A 16-year-old pickup driver hit multiple cyclists on Saturday morning near Waller, Texas, a city just west of Houston. The teenager struck six cyclists in all, and two of them were airlifted to local hospitals to treat shoulder, neck and back injuries; one cyclist suffered head trauma, according to KTRK. Police questioned the teenager afterwards, but didn’t arrest or otherwise detain him.

Yep, don't understand why he was allowed to wander off.

Well....maybe if we had thread titles that actually represented the story.

A longstanding pet peeve of mine.

There's a time to be clever and a time to write something that informs.

Thread title (on first thread) should have been:

A Teenager Hit Six Cyclists While Trying To Roll Coal And Was Not Arrested

Nah, they should procrastinate and wait until the last second and end up with a crappy defense.

Curious, why do you think his race is relevant to the incident?

And where did he learn to to do that? I'm guessing from his father. I hope they take their house.

I'd trust a Redneck over a liberal or eco freak any day of the week.

You don't even know the whole story. All you get is the click-bait version and the cyclists playing the innocent victim card. - if the kid passed them a few time you KNOW that those cyclists started to assert "their right to the road." - no brake lights on those bikes.
