"The suspect drives a very unique car, police say: A black or charcoal-colored Subaru WRX sedan with no license plates.

The car has a hood scoop, low profile spoiler with red LED brake light strip, black wheels, and rain deflectors on the doors."

    Sounds like a hero to me. Those things serve no purpose other than help prop up city tax revenue.

      My main concern is his method. That is a very dangerous way to remove them, especially if he isn’t taking into consideration what’s behind his target.

        He could be using a shotgun with bird shot. Whatever misses the target wouldn’t travel very far before falling harmlessly to the ground.

        Makes sense too if he is to shoot from a moving vehicle. It would be like reverse clay target shooting.

          Nope. There’s a video in the article. He’s driving in the middle lane, sees something shiny to shoot at, swerves over a couple lanes, pulls over (blocking the rightmost lane so people have to go around him), gets out of the car and pops a few cap at the sky. Definitely not any method to this madness, just the classic YOLO shenanigans I’ve come to expect from modded WRX drivers.

      As a professional CDL driver… I want more of them. Fucking tired of people going 50+ on 35mph roads, 80+ in a 65. Racing around me and cutting me off when I’m already going 5 over posted. I used to agree but after years of driving for a living? Nah fuck em they deserve the ticket, anything within 5 of posted won’t land you a ticket and even if a cop tried it would be dropped without any resistance if you just challenged it. If you can’t handle going within 5 of posted then you shouldn’t be behind the wheel.

        Cars doing 35/40 in a 20 with people trying to cross the road… this is not okay. Pedestrian fatalities are up, and this is part of the issue.
