What these assholes don't care about is the pollution they generate. I hope all that tire smoke gives them lung diseases.

the wannabees can't do that (roll cage, safety harness, fire control, etc)
All of that. It is about taking over a place and showing what assholes they are creating unsafe conditions on purpose. I wonder when this country will come to its senses or if we will just keep unraveling.
