No intention to kill, no intention to threaten, just rash act.
going into an alley versus a public road in the city? i think the analogy not close enough la. there are nights spots along fullerton area, people are walking and cars still plying the streets. it's not like these drivers were in an empty car park practicing donuts.

maybe shooting cans along the pavement at 2am while people are still walking around. very little concern for others.

maybe you could try advising your friend not to pull that kind of shit anymore? There were people who almost got hit by those cars, no joke. That group of guys who almost got hit by them were pretty BIG and looked like they could whup some ass too. When my group left they were still standing there looking at him from behind.

That aside, did they catch any of the other drivers? or was your friend left to take the heat for the entire thing. If I were the police in that squad car i'd be DAMN PISSED for having to chase a bunch of ricers and their turbos.

Yes. But if there are none without sin, those who know it wrong should cast it.

Re: Street racers should go jail and get caned

Yah and way back then I openly criticized him heavily for it. There is no double standard. He gets caught for speeding, I tell him good for him and laugh. I tell reckless friends that what they just did was reckless and that I'll never get into their car again (outside of a track), and I follow through with it.

What's your problem, Centurion?

We have all sinned, you chose to cast, championing your repentance, I chose to keep silent, so what's the problem?

You have an issue with me and a F430?

read carefully lah, sir. I never cast. In fact I was arguing for a shorter sentence.
