WTF is wrong with people? 16-yo kid outside Houston tries to "roll coal" on cyclists, runs them over instead; walks free

Based on my experience with cyclists in Austin obeying precisely 0.0% of traffic laws, I still hate cyclists. I also believe that kid should have been taken from the scene in cuffs and charged.

Which is why exercising in the middle of traffic is stupid.

Is it possible the driver was visiting from China?

That is fucking horrible.  I guess with so many people around they have lost all value on life.  Especially children.

Double-hit cases” have been around for decades. I first heard of the “hit-to-kill” phenomenon in Taiwan in the mid-1990s when I was working there as an English teacher. A fellow teacher would drive us to classes. After one near-miss of a motorcyclist, he said, “If I hit someone, I’ll hit him again and make sure he’s dead.” Enjoying my shock, he explained that in Taiwan, if you cripple a man, you pay for the injured person’s care for a lifetime. But if you kill the person, you “only have to pay once, like a burial fee.” He insisted he was serious—and that this was common.

That’s the way it was when we lived there 1957-59. 
Once in a while going to & from Taipei American School we would see a dead person on the side of the road covered with a grass mat. Dead pedestrians were covered that way until their families came to claim the body. No morgue for you.

Are there any other planets which I can populate? This one kind of sucks.

No murder laws in Taiwan?

Accused drunken driver slams into 2 cyclists near Dallas-Fort Worth airport, police say

Two cyclists were hit by an accused drunk driver near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Monday.

The collision occurred near the intersection of North Airfield Drive and Freeport Parkway in Irving. It was captured on video posted to X.

In the video, a white 2020 Subaru Forester can be seen quickly approaching the cyclists from behind, then colliding with two of them. The cyclists fell onto the road, and the car swerved and stopped briefly.

The driver then moved forward, running over one of the cyclists in the road with its front and back wheels before driving off.

The driver was identified as Benjamin Hylander, 31, of Fort Worth, according to DFW airport police. His job was listed as working for American Airlines’ cargo team.

The police found the group of cyclists around 6 p.m. on Monday. According to police reports, some of the cyclists followed Hylander’s car to a nearby Shell gas station, where they told him to return to the accident.

While the cyclist he had hit was being treated by paramedics, Hylander ran to the scene and shouted, “I’m sorry,” police said. He attempted to speak to an injured cyclist but was pulled away by officers.

The victims were identified as Thomas Geppert, 69, and Deborah Eads, 65, both of Grapevine. Geppert’s injury was listed as a “severe laceration” and he was hospitalized at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Grapevine on Monday night.

Eads’ injuries were also listed as “severe laceration” but were treated by paramedics at the scene and did not require hospitalization.

Hylander told police he had drunk beer in Grapevine an hour earlier. The amount he said he drank changed as police were interviewing him, they said.

Hylander was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Results of a breathalyzer test showed his blood alcohol concentration was over 0.15, the minimum threshold for a second degree misdemeanor DWI charge.

While searching Hylander’s car, police found six empty cans of Voodoo Ranger beer in a backpack behind the passenger seat. The car was towed and is being held for evidence.

Hylander is charged with two counts of intoxication assault with a vehicle, one count of accident involving injury and one count of driving while intoxicated. He is in custody at the Tarrant County Corrections Center.

After seeing he played ball for Trinity International (looked it up -- located in Illinois), and she got her Bachelor's from something called Olivet Nazarene (also located in Illinois), I'm convinced. The headshot for the ball team and the mugshot seem to match.

Voodoo Ranger is delicious. (Regular IPA. I don’t need to blackout at light speed with Juice Force)

I'd never heard of Juice Force, but I've had their Imperial (9%). Shit will mess you up. I can't imagine trying to do much anything serious after a sixer, let alone drive to or from work in a bustling metropolitan area.

I toured their Ft Collins brewery a couple of years ago and drank a few Juice  Force right off the canning line. Its good shit if you like IPA's, but it hits hard.....as Ben can now attest.

Glad they caught this guy but reminder to never talk to the police if you're detained for a crime. Of course 6 beers @ 10% ABV isn't exactly the time when you're at your best.
