1. I wonder

who he was following this time.

[SummerSnow]

14. He was on his way to save a family

[no_hypocrisy]

2. He was speeding in self defense!

[Dr. Strange]

7. He called 911 and told the operator that he was trying to drive fast.

The operator said, "Sir, we don't need you to do that."

3. This man seems to have a lot of interaction with law enforcement. nt

6. I'm thinking he does this on purpose./nt

17. He was pulled over in Texas not too long after his trial.

Speeding - and proudly showed the cop his gun in the glove box. I think it's just a matter of time until he hurts or kills someone else.

[Wait Wut]

4. No way.

Did he lose his 'Get Out of Jail Free' card and his 'Honorary Cop Membership' card?

5. It's really wrong of me to say this, but

where's the police brutality when you need it?

Okay, I don't really mean that, but honest to christ, how many chances is this guy going to get?

[HappyMe]

12. I think it's only a matter of time before

he gets himself into some serious trouble again.

[Sheldon Cooper]

13. Oh absolutely.

As someone else mentioned, he seems to actively seek it out. Well, one can only hope, right?

18. I agree...an accident waiting to happen...nt

[polichick]

8. Seems he's always in the news - cry for help or media whore?

[Blue_Tires]

9. well, at least he got a ticket this time...

and I'd hope this time around the cops didn't ask for his autograph...

[MindPilot]

10. This is his second speeding ticket in what, six weeks?

Dude might consider a radar detector or maybe even lifting his foot off the gas when he sees a cop.

21. He has no excuse for not knowing the speed limit in that area.

[City Lights]

11. Was he rushing to the scene of another accident?

Arsehole.

15. Do paparazzi follow him around?

Why are people so interested in his every move? It reminds me of a Buddhist parable

A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they could help her.

The senior monk carried this woman on his shoulder, forded the river and let her down on the other bank. The junior monk was very upset, but said nothing.

They both were walking and senior monk noticed that his junior was suddenly silent and enquired “Is something the matter, you seem very upset?”

The junior monk replied, “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?”

The senior monk replied, “I left the woman a long time ago at the bank, however, you seem to be carrying her still.”

I give him all of the thought he deserves-- none.

16. I'd bet they do

There must be a reason why. I care about justice not about him personally so much. This whole episode feels unfinished. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I haven't stopped holding my breath. I can't exhale. I'm up tight about him being on the streets speeding around with a loaded gun. I'm waiting for the road rage incident.

19. Now, now, we all know George is just a law abiding citizen.

[B Calm]

20. I'm surprised the cop didn't pat him on the back and let him go.

[Bake]

22. Not defending him, but geez, a speeding ticket?

This is news?

23. He's above the law, don't they know?!1 n/t
