Okay but why is the helicopter still here. There’s no need. Fuck
@sOccidental exactly!
Dodge Charger huh! No surprise. How fast was the driver going? The sign said 35 miles zone.
Why the chopper
@rdilla760 seriously
Looks bad, I’ve seen “campers” on those sidewalks.
@sOccidental they didn’t sweep everyone - only a portion of them. The rest were permitted to stay. Although, after this and how dangerous that intersection is I’d bet they won’t allow that any longer.
