Is it time to add remote controlled spike strips to the westbound tunnels?
GREAT IDEA!!!
They already have barrier arms on the good side of the new tunnel so it should be easy to add spike strips…
Of course we need more information. But, if the suspect car and individuals are guilty of a crime, let’s hope they died in the fiery crash. 108RS
Yikes! You’re a tough judge!
Judge? That wish is well outside of jurisprudence.
I actually agree with Jeff! I thought the same thing!
Sorry, but the criminals have got to be reeled in…..right now there’s no consequences for their crimes.
Both you and Jeff are disgusting people for wishing death on anyone….
