Loved the Rockford Files. We used to “pull a Rockford”, 3 point turn on the grid roads as young drivers. All we were missing was the shit brown coloured Camaro .

I used to work for Hertz and Budget out at the international airport many moons ago when I was in high school. We learned to perfect the Rockford in the big empty parking lot on the service road. :laugh:

Russian court fines Google $2 decillion

I hope this doesn't get flagged as political, but I find it absolutely hilarious that this Russian court "fined" Google for this amount. An amount more than all of the estimated wealth of the world.

It just seems like something Dr. Evil would do if he was in charge of a country.

If that's in their rubles, it probably converts to $2 million USD

Homeless women passes out in parking lot and gets ran over then proceeds to refuse medical treatment. This is Darwinism at its finest if you ask me. Kudos to the one person who had enough decency to check on her before berating the cop. On the other hand cop definitely needs to pay more attention. Just crazy all around.

I find it absolutely incredible that the woman escaped without any serious injuries, let alone dying. A weird situation all around. If I saw a dead cat or garbage bag in a parking lot, I would either slam on the brakes, or swerve to avoid it. How did they not see a human on the ground, especially considering they were responding to a call stating there was a person passed out in the parking lot, especially when people seemed to be flagging the car down.

Bizarre.

Happened on 107th Ave last night I think. Crazy.

According to the November 1st Edmonton Journal article that was posted in this thread this incident took place on October 20th, not last night. I watch the local CTV and Global news feeds daily and this was never reported. To me, that may be the most disturbing thing about this.

Bang on Boomer. I too read/view most main stream news sites and non mainstream and I cruise Reddit and a few other places, numerous a times a day. You are correct. This incident was never reported on it seems.

That’s said, it’s not the EPS duty to report the news or even necessarily announce incidents that may not have a larger impact. I just hope there is an internal and ASIRT investigation already occuring and no element of sweeping it under the rug.

The driver of that vehicle was obviously not doing the one thing they should have been, and that’s focusing on driving. You could not miss that person lying on the road based on the video posted

Nah, Dr Evil would have only asked for 1 million dollars.
