I remember when my friends and I used to cringe when we would scratch our prized cars. You know back in the day, like 1980,

Now I see young people spending thousands of dollars building up a vehicle to see how steep of a hill it can climb, then tumble down—this is even worse.

Nice of Tesla to make a Black Lives Matter edition.

Say the word. They are a suspect, not a “person of interest”. That term, popularized by FBI frameups and hit TV shows for housewives has -zero- legal meaning.

There was a “launch spot” in my area that we played with in high school. Not as launchable as the spot in the article though.

And if you screwed up, you’d hit the berms and trees around the road, destroying your own stuff, not somebody else’s vehicle or home.

We were such considerate kids! (not really)

That’s because they can earn tens of thousands of dollars if they get millions of views. It’s worth it to them to destroy a $50,000 car and earn $200,000 in views.

Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

How can an article headlined “LAPD Names Person of Interest” and which repeats that in the narrative, fail to tell us ... the name of the person of interest? Give Pilar Arias the Pulitzer she deserves.

Reminds of that 1970s cop TV show, The Streets of San Francisco.
