Streetsblog spotted the slack-jawed Mid-Island Republican getting into his car

Republican, you say?

Lacking the bare modicum of empathy required to be mindful of others' safety, is that right?

Spoiler: a second politician is referenced as being a speed demon. I'll leave out his party affiliation as a teaser to entice others to read this article.

Why do they call the guy "sir" instead of "dipshit?"

Penalties for dangerous behaviour shouldn't be a flat fee but be relatively to ones wealth.

@Davriellelouna Sure would be a pity if he came to his car to find no air in the tires.

BTW, in many states, they can lock you up for stuff like that.

LOCK HIM UP!!
