When whoever was driving the Ferrari was confronted by a local journalist about his right of filming from the sidewalk in America, the driver said "f*** America".
I just heard another report and it said he was the one driving the Ferrari.
The fact he can say F*** America just pi**es me off, if I was in charge of NHRA he would be banned for life and Vegas would he's last stent of sponsoring any team ever, I don't give a damn how much stupid money he has.
Unsure of exactly who said what myself. First off, I put damn near zero credibility in a guy simply known as
" freelance video journalist Jacob Rogers"...that's media speak for
"guy with a cell phone". So anything he says versus what is shown on camera is suspect. You never see who drove either car. It just cuts to the driveway where
"guy with a cell phone" is actually entering what is clearly private property.
Yes, I'm rather sure the bodyguard wasn't driving, but I am also sure the bodyguard is who this
"guy with a cell phone" interacts with.
The only
real journalists I've seen have said only that he and the car are gone. Not who said what, or who did what. Most of it is all repeated from what
"guy with a cell phone" shows on phone camera, and later adds verbally.
I am certainly not condoning any of the above actions or spoken words, but hey, I've heard a lot worse, and seen a lot worse from "good Americans".
Case in point, besides most not having the ability to simply merge onto a freeway here, when driving in Texas, you will witness a whole lot of drivers just cruising through red lights. I was driving my Mother home yesterday, and as we're talking about drivers running red lights (it happens a lot here), we are sitting at a stop light, and sure enough, someone drives directly through the red light. We had been stopped for about ten seconds by this time so this wasn't just a late scooting yellow light dash, this was clearly driving a vehicle while paying no attention. We both notice it at the same time (not tough as the truck went right by us on his way through the intersection).
"Right there! See!" I yell. "That's what I'm talking about."
This is no lie. While we're still talking about what just happened, we approach and stop at another red light, and yes....different person, different car, same deal...we had been stopped at the light for almost 8-10 seconds, and right by us goes this sedan, clear through the intersection, no brake lights, no questions to oneself as to why all these other cars are stopped, just clean through and on down the road....just like the last person less than a minute before.
Luckily, the obtuse State Senate outlawed intersection video cameras (known as red light cameras, go figure), so....you know...all these people running red lights aren't pestered by tickets and such.
I far am more worried about everyday Americans in non-exotic vehicles than rich playboys racing around even richer neighborhoods.
