You know with all this social media, all he has to do is ditch the car and get another. As for the other factors, it is probably very easy to remove any traces. Probably not a good thing to be liberal with all this info. I am in agreement that whatever his parents have to tell him be expressed. It is now camping season and it will make it easier to go home when it's cold. In sincerity, if he hadn…   more ›

You're comment was probably removed because you are in fact not stating facts, and are not correctly using logic. Example: women are bad drivers. I know...I've seen it with my own eyes. Does the fact that I have seen a bad female driver mean all women are bad drivers? No. Neither does your being hit on by Indian men lead to a logical conclusion that all Indians are sexual. The real fact is that …   more ›

This creep is most likely already in the system that's why he is still walking around. Someone will say he is the victim and we are over-reacting. I totally agree w/SickOfit. Scumb-bags like this are never cured. One can only hope that this guy gets run over and put out of commission for good the next time he jumps out of his car w/or w/o his pants.   more ›
