unfortunately losers driving drunk and hitting and severely injuring or killing very succesful people is not a rare occurence in Austin.

This is the type of story where a Texas tag should be used.

Sadly, I can't help but think that his time would be better served helping the injured. It's great that he wanted the drunk off the streets, but we've all heard plenty of stories about slap-on-the-wrist fines for such things, or even outright scofflaws.

Judging by that Gomer Pyle look on his face and the scar on his noggin, the boy can't help but be stupid.

The risk of a slap on the wrist fine is reason to not stop this guy? Come on. Also, the article doesn't mention it but I'll bet the people were hit in a busy enough area that others were around to assist with their needs.

What a hog tying motorcycle rider may look like:

Shiat, I saw we buy this guy a quality lasso and a kick ass costume and put him to work. Captain Rodeo to the rescue!

Perez said he reached into the car to pull out the driver, who appeared to be intoxicated and was vomiting.

I see the problem here. Multi-tasking. You think you can do more than one thing efficiently, but do neither as well.

/Daddy is ashamed

Perez seems to be something of a chest-beating AW ("daddy didn't bring up cowards") with daddy issues (dude, you're 47 and calling your paternal parent daddy?). He's also opening himself up to liability here in a big way. Forget letting the cops do the chasing, he does it himself. Forget doing what he could at the crash site (summon professional assistance, crowd control, prevent further injuries), there's no glory in that. Forget letting trained personnel with appropriate equipment (and insurance) extract the guy from his wrecked car, he just pulls the guy out bodily and hogties him with a belt.

He's going to keep pulling this sort of thing until it goes sour on him, and then he'll be shocked to be held accountable for the bad outcome.

Something tells me you haven't spent much time in Texas.

According to the article: this guy's calling is chasing people, not medical care. This guy feels like a big cowboy right now and couldn't be happier,till his horse breaks down. Although lately the courts are steadily cracking down harder on DWI's offences. Unless you have money of course, than you may continue home.

And teacher didn't teach no grammar no none neither.

FTFA: Perez said he briefly lost sight of the driver, but then heard a crash and caught up. Perez pulled up close to the car, he said, yelling at the driver to get out. The driver stopped to look at him, Perez said, then crashed around West 10th and Rio Grande streets before coming to a stop.

So how many times did the guy crash?

This newspaper obviously has no editorial staff, and recruits reporters from the local middle schools.

More balls than brains. But then he does ride a motorcycle.

American Statesman, do you have no editors?

Having read the Statesman, I'm going to say no. Unfortunately the same is true for the Chronicle, especially their movie reviewers.

This happened in a busy area. Plenty of people to help the injured and catching this dumb ass will probably prevent him from killing someone else in the future. If I see him out I'll definitely buy him a drink.

He didn't assault the guy, just detained him until police arrived. Doesn't really sound like a vigilante but more like a responsible person who was in the right place at the right time and wasn't afraid to do the right thing (unlike many of the precious little snowflakes here on Fark I'm sorry to say).

drove a cab at night in austin for a year and getting a kick out of these replies.

The closest thing to an American crotch-rocket are those gasoline powered riding vibrators, for people who are afraid of accidentally going fast.

/seriously
/a harley rider once proudly told me his bike would do 14s in the quarter mile
/there are minivans quicker than that. there are probably vespas quicker than that.

He witnessed a crime, he is legally able to make a citizens arrest and detail the suspect until the police arrive. He did the right thing.

*detain*

"1100cc Suzuki motorcycle"

well, I know it didn't take him long to catch that Impala.

The kind of nonsense you always hear from the Criminal Rights crowd

I like to see Mr Drunk try to sue this man. Even in the Peoples Republic of Austin, you probably will not find a jury to vote against him

Buell-er? Buell-er?

He wasn't riding a Kwacker, if that helps.

An XR1200 qualifies as a crotch-rocket. Sort of. But few, if any, Americans buy this model.

That is a moot point, though. Just about any motorcycle could have caught up with a crashed Impala driven by a vomiting drunk. As far as minivans that can do better than 14s, the only one I can think of is a Mercedes R-class AMG and those are extremely rare. Also, please don't call the R-class a minivan !

/Loves my Ultra Classic

Show me a male older than 6 saying "daddy" and I'll show you a mullet-haired NASCAR fan and a proud collector of commemorative plates.. you know - those with Elvis, eagle, some firearm and Jesus on them. Yeah, on the same plate.

10/10. EXCELLENT troll.

Hog tied? In Austin, you can tell the sexual preference by whether the loop is clockwise or counterclockwise (or really kinky: braided).

Once you've gone braided, you can never be disuaded.

Oooo! can't wait for the third time when the drunk driver pulls a gun and shoots him.
