He's just doing his job.

yes that might be true, he may be a good reporter granted, but, Would he if given the opportunity, do "the other side" report? meaning, would he come and do a "TRUE" report by someone like myself that would not be a babbling 17 years old "hey look at me " idiot and show the "for it" side to streetracing instead of the bandwagon "lets get ratings" the public says it's bad side ???????

I guarantee I could show him some "fast cars" i.e. "my Maria" or Rocky's car etc. explain them correctly mods, take them by Streetheat on a Sat. night , show them a group of mature people "hanging out" cooking a BBQ talking car smack. show and explain streetracing for what it is. not your moms Bmer and a riced out civic and when it aired it would be a complete twisted jumbo of altered editted politically correct BULLSHIT.

as good as he may be, kids looking like radical endangerments burning tires and talking about high rates of speed and defying the law along with "ratings" will prevail over a correctly documenty story-KW

street race - go to jail for a year and then get community service
get a dui - go to jail for 1 night, and get community service

im sorry, but there are dozens and dozens of more deaths related to DUIs then street racing, they need to flip these laws around.
