Indiana State Police Targeting Indianapolis Street Racing Events, Dozens Arrested

[Cameramonkey]

So laying down rubber is some very bad destruction..hmmmà.. so then all the semis and any other vehicle that lock up the brakes and leave rubber tracks everywhere is super bad too and should be arrested. I have never seen any city grant permission to any group to street race or burn rubber. Why, because they'll say thats what a drag strip is for. Can it be dangerous, well yea, but thing are alway taken far beyond context of what really goes on.

Apples and oranges. So you are trying to equate skid marks on the highway to this? Gimme a break.

So you wont mind me burning rubber/doing donuts on your lawn/drive, right? Pm me your address and I'll be right over since its all harmless fun. Just like the two idiots did some harmless fun giving my church yard jobs. Its not harmless and I have the receipts and volunteer hours to prove it.

Yes, it CAN be harmless fun. When its sanctioned. But if not? In this case, That company is out money to have the lot re-striped.

It's not valid to compare donuts in a parking lot to yard jobs.

I would bet the main reason the store owner wants it stopped is because he knows with a certainty that if someone get seriously injured or killed while doing it on his property, he would be sued for millions of dollars. It's easier to just avoid that headache.

No, it is. Both damage the surface and require repair. Just different kinds.

In my case, I had to bring in topsoil, seed, and straw. In the story, the parking lot owner needs to pay someone to come and repaint the stripes on the lot. Both cost money.

Read the story and look at the photos. Their striping is toast. Its covered with rubber. (or scrubbed) It's gotta be repainted. (just like I had to fill and re-seed)

Unruly mobs overtaking private property or public roads and intersections. Harmless fun?
Unruly antifa leftist overtaking sections of cities. Harmless fun?

Pavement and yard/grass are 2 way different things. Doing a burnout on pavement only leaves rubber that eventually washes away. i don't know why you even brought up doing it in someone's yard since it has nothing to .do with this conversation.

That case there was already a stupidfest before people decided to look like they were cool in their cars.

Exactly right, no comparison.. i would think that liability plays a big factor as you said because that's the reason always given from police or city officials..always.

Please post your address so anyone can use your driveway how they please at all hours of the day. They will try to stay off the grass,

Private property owners have a right to not have this crap happen on their property. Cordoning public areas and reckless driving is illegal,

Sounds like you are convinced of your arguments. Good luck sitting in a courtroom telling the judge/jury how everyone should see your views after you get arrested for your harmless fun.

Did you even look at the pictures in the OP? Newly painted parking spaces are gone or ruined. That is actual monetary damage.

You say too bad for him though. It's all just in fun.

I never said it was right, so don't PUT words in my mouth!

Doesn't matter. They are doing it on SOMEONE ELSES property without permission.

Strips are covered with rubber. No it doesn't look pretty and i never said anything of the sorts it was.

 

[Denny347]

The people doing this are complete idiots...period. Low intelligence is obvious.

So what are you telling me for?? I didn't waste the $600 in tires.

 

[gassprint1]

With these NEGATIVE comments i am getting for my earliest comment....
I guarantee that everyone of you did burnouts of sorts when either you got your license and were with friends or showing off AND it was on public roads or private property of a parking lots. If you say you didn't, then ..(you fill in the blank)

I don't know you, maybe you were. No, the point is that the discussion was going back and forth about what is property damage and what wasn't. Overlooking the fact they are trespassing in the first place.

Spinning and a burnout are not the same thing. They start off the same but spinning takes it too a new degree.

Once that rubber washes off, I'm pretty sure those strip will be there. Take the painted lines on a race track. That paint in my places gets some serious abuse and still is there. You cant compare nascar because those guys are anal about everything looking perfect for tv.

Private parking lots and front lawns are both private property that get torn up by young dudes in cars that don't have permission to be there and destroy property that isn't theirs. Even farmers fields will get you chased, yelled at, shot at etc. At the end of the day it's a blatant disregard for someone else's hard work and money by a bunch of people with a strong lack of respect because they haven't yet poured sweat equity into something of value and then had it stolen, damaged by others, etc.

 

[bobzilla]

Feel free to go to 3585 Commercial Drive and see all of the damage the burnouts have done to the lot there. But you don't own the lot and don't pay to have it maintained, so no big deal.

This.
