Boy howdie that was a close one.

bah, i wanna see the video, not some advertisement.

I believe that if they actually have video of you "in" a high speed chase then the use of the word "alledged" should probably be dropped.

Just a suggestion.

Man.

I'm sure someone had some soiled underpants after that one...

I saw this videon on CNN this afternoon. It gave me the sudden urge to play a few hours of Stuntman on the PS2.

Link's semi-farked. Trying to watch it brings up a commercial for back pain, but that's it.

I wish they would explain how they know when a car is "threatening" to burst into flames. Obviously it didn't.

OT but what was the video of the news guy that totally flipped when the animal guy's animal jumps on him? I haven't had the chance to laugh my ass off at that guy since losing my bookmarks.

Cops chasing a car in LA ? Hard to belive.

Xoxotl: be a bit more patient, the vid comes up in that spot where the ad is. its prolly just loading...

was anyone else waiting for the car to erupt into a fire-ball as the reporter was finishing up... having already said something about "burst into flames" ???

Jennifer Bjorklund? I'd hit it!

How can you RUN from cops while SITTING in your car?

IT BOGGLES THE MIND!

Jerry was a race car driver
22 years old

Pokey_Underwood		2002-11-18 07:58:04 PM

3rd line should be

Looks like I had one too many

I've been having a lot of problems with streaming and regular video. This one didn't seem to fare any better than the other stuff I've tried to watch from Fark recently.

I agree about dropping the "alleged" title when they have video evidence of you being a

crazyjim		2002-11-18 08:32:29 PM

Oh seriously 80% of people can't believe cops should always pursue high speed chases.

Maybe I wouldnt believe they shouldn't chase since I don't believe in speeding or drug use as a crime.

SANTEE		2002-11-18 09:31:28 PM

I'd like to have one too many cold beers, anyone?

hime		2002-11-18 10:11:19 PM

I think what's more interesting is the guy who almost got killed videoing that shiat.

GotAHarryAss		2002-11-19 12:18:28 AM

that was cool as hell, wish i were there. that definitely was a kodak moment. but man, that guy who was fiilmed that is nuts. he didnt even looked shaken afterwards. not worth getting killed just to get a shot of the chase if you ask me.
