August 25, 201312 yr 10 police cars chase moped, with max speed of 25 MPH. https://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/08/25/10-police-cars-chase-moped-going-25-mph/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mvc2O-wpS4U
August 25, 201312 yr One, that's a scooter; not a moped. Depending on the model, they can have motors up to 500cc (although that one doesn't look like it's bigger than 125cc). Still, they can reach 60+ MPH. Secondly, who knows why the rider is being chased. He may have just committed armed robbery. It must have been something serious to warrant that much attention. I happened upon a police motorcycle accident Friday night on my way home from--of all things--training local police academy cadets. Once we called 911 and told them that it was an officer down, we had 10 squad cars, four fire trucks and EMT plus a police helicopter on us in less than five minutes. Some situations will draw in all officers within range. Lastly, this would be better placed in the 'WTF' thread; so I'm moving it there... Cheers! M2

M2 Sorry I was just quoting the news article, I didn't know there was a delineation between scooters and mopeds. "Sgt. Mark Brooks, a city police spokesman, said an officer initially stopped the man about 10:15 p.m. for driving the wrong way on Winter Street, near Eckart Street. He spoke with the officer but refused to turn off the moped and rode away, Brooks said. A chase ensued with the moped driver, later identified as Lagrant Smith, reaching top speeds of 25 mph and taking numerous turns on a route that covered much of the southeast grid." Still pretty funny to watch the guy weave around like he is Jason Bourne. Edited August 25, 201312 yr by Fuzz

August 26, 201312 yr Did you forget a pic or link, or was that just a general statement? On a semi-related note, I think the fact that a Video Music Awards show is hosted by Music Television, a TV network that hasn't actually played a music video in years, is WTF-worthy...
August 26, 201312 yr Miley Cyrus at the VMAs. wtf The fact that you were even watching it is WTF worthy.
August 26, 201312 yr Will Smith's face says it all, especially after all the years of having to watch Carlton dance.
August 26, 201312 yr The fact that you were even watching it is WTF worthy. I heard from people in the east coast it was WTF, so I tuned in when it came on. WTF verified. Plus it's bound to hit the news anyways
August 26, 201312 yr Jaden Smith looks like he needs eye bleach. Or he had an epiphany: "is this what it's like to watch me try acting?" Edited August 26, 201312 yr by BFM this
August 26, 201312 yr WTF? is right! And no, I didn't watch this shit; Breaking Bad was on! Cheers! M2
August 26, 201312 yr What's the deal with her sticking her tongue out constantly? Severe dehydration? Attempting to attract females?
August 26, 201312 yr What's the deal with her sticking her tongue out constantly? Severe dehydration? Attempting to attract females? I dunno, but our two terriers do the same thing and they're idiots...
August 27, 201312 yr Bottom line -- Miley Cyrus got the attention she wanted. Heck, it was on the NBC nightly news for heavens sake. Same as Madonna in the 80's.... Same as Britney Spear's in the 90's/early 2000's.... Shock value has a place for marketing (i.e. Howard Stern), but this fvckin' tramp was on some serios "Molly" last night.
August 27, 201312 yr Shock value has a place for marketing (i.e. Howard Stern), but this fvckin' tramp was on some serios "Molly" last night. The difference is Howard Stern actually has talent and business savvy. Say what you want about the content of the man's work, but there are few people who have been so consistently successful in the entertainment industry as Howard Stern. You don't remain at the top for 30 years just on "shock value".
August 27, 201312 yr Yeah I'm sure this will cost her a ton of money, especially being 20 years old and worth over 150 million dollars already.
August 27, 201312 yr Knock yourself out. I've made worst decisions around last call. I'm not proud of that.
