Did they seriously think they could speed away... in East side traffic 😂
@HATTANVILLE911 LOL so true!!
Lol why he saying the curbside restaurant is the problem. Umm maybe the people who stole that cab and crashed it might be the problem?
@NeverSocialism wow making everything about people on the left and right? You must have a happy life
You shouldn’t blame the food and dining establishments, they re doing the best they can with the best they have gotten to work with, if it wasn’t for those “flimsy” outside seating areas, you could kiss NYC as you ever knew it, good bye... it’s bad enough the city is hardly coming back from the first round of government shutdowns... how could we possibly financially survive anything else like it again in the near future...?
@bobbydigtal no get rid of the criminals! Cuomo nor Diblasio weren’t drinking. Neither was Trump. Let’s just call a spade a spade in cases like this. The thief is at fault!
What’s a “rogue taxi cab”? Stolen?
@bd1976 I believe there was one in the movie Maximum Overdrive.
