The whole urban ghetto motocross infatuation trend is a strange beast I’d say.
Not only a strange beast, but one that is destructive, inconsiderate, annoying, and sadly, stands as an example of the ineffectiveness of local law enforcement in pushing back against the less serious law violations that affect the quality of life in our community none-the-less.
Lawlessness comes with a price.

People need to learn that stupidity has consequences.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Now, let’s stand back for the bleeding heart brigade
Maybe less police isn’t such a bad thing. The lawless criminals seem to be falling victim to survival of the law abiding faster then the police could get our DA to file charges against any of them.
Will the stupidity never cease?
Say its name. That ATV’s life mattered!
