Good for them. But how bad is the punishment for this kind of behavior in Canada? It'd be better to give this scum some real justice and leave it unreported.

Well done, though it could have gone very badly for them as well. Running red lights at high speed.......not good.

In the US...the guys in the Porsche would have been arrested...and the rapist would have been set free.

I saw a guy who was weaving across three lanes at 20 mph and called police. The dispatcher told me to stop following the car and go on my way. "Wouldn't you like the license plate and a description of the vehicle?" I asked. After taking the info she again insisted that I go on my way... really shocked me. This was on city streets.

One thing I learned from that article, is that I need to stop uttering death threats.

Probably. Hence few people wanting to get involved anymore.

Realizing the concert would begin any minute, O’Connor turned his car around and floored it, heading east along Fallowfield Road.
LOL, they really didn't want to miss Kim Mitchell!

except you need to know that the brother of his "roommate" is a player on the Ottawa Senator NHL team...

as for Kim Mitchell, he probably got in a few fights when he was a kid in school???

Makes no sense. Lady got away safe, she knows who the guy is, as he is an acquaintance and they have the license number. There is no reason to try to catch the guy. If they would not have chased the him, he wouldn't have gone 100+ MPH. Also, I wouldn't try to drag someone out of their car - they may be armed. Running red lights is like playing Russian Roulette.

Going fast in a 997 turbo? Sure - trackday!
