Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
just read the CNN newsarticle in the first post along with all of the peripheral notes and I CANNOT find anywhere that this is called drag racing-- someone please point that section out to me---
On a similiar note I have contacted the 3 largest newspapers and those reporters in Illinois that write those articles and pointed out that the illegal activity that they are referring to is called street racing in the Illinois Statutes. The Illiinois statues goes on to describe the various forms of street racing and the penalties but it NEVER uses the verbage DRAG RACING--- the papers now report it as illegal street racing ---as for Bieber every once in a while one of these so called "performers/entertainers" comes along and with absolutely no talent hits it big---why I do not know but they seem to do it--FED387 |

Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
If it has been changed kinda gives you a good feeling about our ability to make a correction.

Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
Amen Jim
I started to e-mail them this AM, I got busy and didn't. I guess they are too lazy to understand. |

Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
You'll never get Fox to change it they "only" go for the sensationalism. Maybe if 10,000 people emailed them they might retract it but by then it'll be on the next news item.
This kid obviously has a severe problem. If he does not change his ways it could be fatal in the worst case or at least physically harmful to himself. |

Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing

Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
Jim. It is what it is. Many years ago I'm sure most of us on here used to Drag race in the street. I made a living at it for almost 2 years. And built and campained an nhra stocker with the proceeds. Didn't completely quit till Wally Parks asked (told) us to.
Back then we were stupid and could not see the possible consequenses. A year after we quit they had a race out by Kennedy airport. And a car a bit slower than what we were running, lost control and killed 2 and injured a bunch more (it could have been us). Legal or not I have many fond memories of those days.

Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
No different than all the Harley riders that dress up in their "Pirate" suits daily...we all get lumped into the same kettle in the end anyway.
