For anyone with a modicum of knowledge, this is not at all surprising. They're our second closest relatives.
Chimpanzees - our closest relatives, with 99.4% of our active genes in common - have been observed in making war....plotting and executing the demise of their enemies.
Apes can be instructive. Don't try to moralize when it comes to primates.
Maybe they know something you don't.....

I never moralize when it comes to oral.

16 year old rolling coal hits cyclists on Texas highway.
A teenage driver who was allegedly hassling cyclists in Waller County by “rolling coal” ended up running over a group and injuring six of them, according to media reports.

Last I heard he wasn't charged with anything, is that still the case? Or lack of a case?

It's Texas - you can be a homicidal a--hole if you want... It's your right.

Isn't Texas a "shoot first, then ask questions later" kind of state?

I had one of my best Ultimate Frisbee performances on campus at Texas A&M when I lived in Lubbock, but the kids from Cal Tech would chew up those Aggies and spit out the fatty parts.

In Texas, "He needed killin' " is a solid defense.
There are times I agree with the sentiment...

In this case, I assume you would apply that to the driver and not the triathletes?

Nice of you to drop in, DJ. How is home on the range? I hope you’re representing SoCal at Bergen Peak. I miss the great riding. We have a couple of Centennial State expats here. Cheers.

While I only play an attorney on television, I'm thinking that "I didn't mean to hurt anyone" isn't the best of defenses:

Fixed it.
My client is a young idiot in high school with a big truck and has college party time aspirations. He’s a very new and inexperienced driver and had no idea that rolling coal and running over bikes is a dick move and could hurt people.

All good here, thanks for asking. I’ve never done Bergen Peak, have to add that to the to do list.

Okay, Elk Meadow, brother. Both sides of Bergen are fun as hell. Have fun and say hello to the elk around Evergreen.

Buy tickets!?! That Sh!t used to be free.
Well, millions in tax dollars, but, "free," to the public.

I started my oven the other day - set it to 375F (I ain't doin' Celsius) and walked away. 5 minutes later it still showed 100 degrees. I opened the oven door and was greeted with a "whoosh" - late ignition. Can only imagine what it would have been had I waited longer. Said range dates from 2006, so it was cost-effective.
Today a new range is installed. Actually cost less than the one it replaced, and has the same (and some better) features. Catching the sale window at Best Buy is awesome!!!!

Park at the sports complex or equestrian center on Goldenwest. Watch show. Drink beer. Don't get caught on the way home.
Problem: Solved.
