Something really stupid is happening in Central Florida lately. Brash, young idiots are playing chicken with cops. The idiots operating vehicles aim at a cop standing by on the street, rev the engine, and (I’m guessing) hope he’ll jump out of the way so they can escape getting pulled over.
There’s a flaw in their theory. The idiots are hitting the cops before they have a chance to get out of the way. Deputy Callin was murdered by a fool who didn’t want to get pulled over, so the fool revved his engine and ran straight into the deputy.
Then Lake Mary Officer Chris Dye escaped death while trying to pull over a speeding motorcycle, and the fool on the bike accelerated, hit him, and then raced off. According to the Orlando Sentinel article:
“He made clear eye contact with me,” said Dye, who had minor injuries. “He was shaking his head as if he was disappointed, not that he wasn’t going to stop.”
Fortunately, an anonymous tip lead to the arrest of Joshua Michael Wiggins, 26. This fool lives a couple of miles away from me. They’re getting too close for comfort.
Now, we have this report about another fool on a motorcycle hitting another cop. Officer Robert Baxter is ok, but could have just as easily been seriously injured or killed from the impact of a fast moving vehicle. I believe I heard on WESH today that police apprehended Jose Gabriel Miranda, 19, for this latest attack.
I’m not anti-motorcycle. I’ve been riding since I was 12 and have no plans to stop. No, I’m anti-idiot. Putting someone else’s life at risk just because you want to avoid a ticket is just stupid. It appears that Jose Gabriel Miranda may have had more at stake, as he reportedly used a firearm in the theft of the motorcycle he used to attack officer Baxter.
Who is breeding these selfish idiots? When you get arrested, tried, and convicted of trying to run over a police officer, I think the penalty should include castration. People like these fools are just too dangerous to let them breed more little idiots.
