Graphic video of the Times Square incident yesterday. Yeah... that wasn't just a DUI that was entirely intentional. -- (link) - Ender May 19, 07:06 48
- This, like the Ray Rice stuff, perfectly illustrates the significance between seeing something and reading about it. - volnelk May 19, 07:34 2
  - agreeance. -- nm - Diva May 19, 07:52
  - yup -- nm - Beaker May 19, 07:35

  - This. -- nm - MDH May 19, 07:22
  - right? I found the reports yesterday to be very misleading. -- nm - groiny May 19, 07:19 3
    - The media NEVER jumps to conclusions in a rush to be 1st. -- nm - Strongbad May 19, 07:23 2
      - if anything, they downplayed it bigtime. -- nm - groiny May 19, 07:24 1

- Oh god. -- nm - kelly May 19, 07:16
- HOLY LORD. That's GTA stuff right there. -- nm - volnelk May 19, 07:15 2
  - That was my thought too. -- nm - Ender May 19, 07:53
  - That is surreal. -- nm - Baronwatch May 19, 07:16
- *... turns off the cpmputer... walks away...* -- nm - Spawn May 19, 07:14
- he may have had alcohol or drugs in his system, but this was not an act of that alone. -- nm - groiny May 19, 07:08 12
  - I read PCP and if that's true, that would make sense. That shit will make you hallucinate -- nm - Bacon May 19, 07:11 10
    - either way, he is going to prison for a long, long time. -- nm - groiny May 19, 07:12 9

        put him in front of Archer's car (and then behind it and then in front of etc) -- nm - Beaker May 19, 07:23
      - Yep. And CBS just now the story confirmed PCP and Marijuana in his system. -- nm - Bacon May 19, 07:20 5
        
        With his psych issues those drugs just put him over the top. - Krusty May 19, 07:23 3

        BAN PCP!!! - groiny May 19, 07:21
  - Right. -- nm - Krusty May 19, 07:10
- it is absurd that the NYPD even said it was a DWI thing. -- nm - groiny May 19, 07:07 19
  - It appeared that way when they got the guy because he was drunk and likely also on drugs. It seems to have been on purpose but - Krusty May 19, 07:09 18
    - Some reports say "Initial tests have come back negative for alcohol but positive for drugs." -- nm - mara May 19, 07:23 1
      - Yeah, I replied to myself just below this to say that. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 19, 07:25
    - I'm wrong. He wasn't drunk. Tests came back as negative for alcohol but they believe he might have been on drugs. - Krusty May 19, 07:15
    - I get not wanting to call it a "terrorist" thing, but one view of the video - groiny May 19, 07:12 14
      - I won't watch the video. I'm just reading news reports which changes as they get more info. -- nm - Krusty May 19, 07:15 8
        
        well, if you did watch it, it would change your perspective, I am sure. -- nm - groiny May 19, 07:16 7

        I couldn't believe it when I read it. -- nm - Krusty May 19, 07:24
        
        yes, and would have been more if not for the cement barrier he hit. -- nm - groiny May 19, 07:23
        
        The only reason he stopped was he was running over people and could not see the barrier he ran onto through them. - Spawn May 19, 07:20 1
        
        I just watched it and I can't believe what I just saw. It was worse looking than I could have imagined. -- nm - Krusty May 19, 07:33
        
        it is every bit of that -- nm - groiny May 19, 07:18

        This. He didn't do it to terrorize people or the city. He did it because he lost his mind. -- nm - Krusty May 19, 07:16 1
        
        I watched the video. I think this is it. -- nm - amanda jones state university May 19, 07:17
