>So the government is NOT allowed to enforce their abilities but civilians are allowed to drive a car recklessly on open roads? That is true hypocrisy right their (also what anarchy is... pure hypocrisy)
i never said that. i'm simply saying that the government needs to be LIMITED on what they are able to do.
these "street racers" should be punished. ABSOLUTELY!! (let some jackass "street racing" punk hit my car when my daughter is in it; and i'll solve that problem on the spot

)
i also never said i was an anarchist (neither did you; i'm just explaining before the wrong implication is implied) I simply believe that power corrupts; and absolute power corrupts absolutely. give em an inch and they'll take a mile.

>All I saw where 4 cars that deserved to be destroyed, I do EMT and I have seen on hand what a driver can do, with one of these to not only himself but others. Street racers are irresponsable and just blatant to others safety.
i disagree to the first statement.
and i fully endorse the 3rd! We're not argueing this point. it's why the cars were destroyed that i'm arguing.

>in little cases yes.
but in the case in the video no.
in the video they blocked off the street they were racing on and the only harm they could have done is too themselves and that would have been punishment alone.
destroying someones 30,000 dollar car soulfully because they speed and race is bullsh*t.
that's opening up laws to be available.
like if your hunting in the wrong spot what if they just took all your gear?
if we really felt like making a stand to this whole law we could most definitely get more "government" tracks and strips built.
this is not just a personal vendetta commercials are always showing new v8 chargers racing along and ****.
overview (more tracks and strips less street racing speeding)
if they felt like fixing anything they would stop wasting cop's time and just build some more damn tracks and strips that video just pissed me off

i agree with most of this.
Blocked off street or not, it was wrong, and the "racers" should be punished.
but as you said, destroying valuable vehicles that could have been parted; or sold to someone else- to raise money for things like streets; traffic signs, road paving, SPEED BUMPS (lol) would have been more effective.
this video said to me "I am the LAW; I'm BETTER than you; and you can't do NOTHING about it" (like the stereotypical bully, that takes what he wants; and destroys it meaninglessly {and without gaining anything from it} just to make a display and spectacle of his power)
am i wrong?
