    He gets arrested at the end for speeding and reckless driving. He was going near 130mph. Dumb.

    He's very lucky someone didn't get hurt or killed. He's very young, and hopefully this experience knocks some sense into him.

    *sigh* trade him to Portland; Nate makes sure none of his players drive faster than the speed limit... *yawn* God, there's no punch in these "Nate's offense is slow" jokes anymore. But we gotta keep making them...

    *groan*

    Maybe I've been playing too much MW2... this was reminding me of the AC130 camera angle in that game.

    Cut the guy some slack . . . what else is there to do in Sacto? :devilwink:

    And Nate, yes, that does look a lot like MW2. Even the audio is reminiscent of that level.

    Before seeing this video, I thought he was doing 100+ during the middle of the night when there were much fewer cars.

    At least you weren't expecting them to switch over to the 120mm cannon at some point ...

    Wow that was nuts. Can the passenger be charged with anything? I see they cuffed him and put him in the car. I didn't think the passenger could be charged.

    Cut the guy some slack? Like the slack we cut him when he participated in a drive by shooting?

    just a random note... I saw Petrie leaving the Oakland Airport tonight about 7:15 PM. Maybe he hadn't heard the latest about his young star as he seemed in fine spirits laughing it up with some guy he was talking to/walking with

    I think that video was from May--but the police just released it.

    I understand your confusion over the questionable order of events. See, the guilty plea and sentencing are over. The prosecutor (or maybe the police dept.) was still hungry for blood, so he gave this unused evidence to the media.
