If you are so gullible and misinformed that you don't know you are telling a lie, is it a lie?
Does a tree falling in the forest make a sound, if no one is there to hear it?

I've owned rental property in Mexico. I can tell you for sure there is a difference.

How does owning rental property in Mexico make you skilled at stereotyping Mexicans?
Woke!

He probably uses a Mexican property management company, and has never interacted with his tenants.

"Jerry, it's not a lie if you believe it".
Quite disturbing and dangerous that so many people these days seem to think that's not meant to be a joke. The judge in the Alex Jones trial had to
continually point out that just because he believed something was true didn't mean he could present it as if it were fact. Something most people learn
as children.

Have you noticed that when people die at these races the promoters go silent, not even a simple news release expressing sympathy…

getting back to the accident now im reading that allegedly NORRA officials are saying the driver suffered a heart attack and veered into on coming
traffic. NORRA did release this:“Yesterday a NORRA race team lost one of its members due to injuries sustained in a tragic accident during a
highway transit stage of the NORRA 500,” reads a statement from NORRA posted Saturday. “Racers and teams are the heart of our extended NORRA
family. NORRA’s thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to all involved.”
so we still don't know
there's only two things in life but I forget what they are........

I'm interested in the details and have been reading the Mexican press. I haven't found anything new since the 1/2 dozen or so original news accounts.
One did say the driver was arrested, so who knows?

Oncoming traffic? On a race course? 
You happen to have a link to that announcement? I was unable to find it on the NORRA website. |
All accounts in the Mexican press are saying the family was parked off the side of the road. Indications are at a highway turnoff to a landfill.

Sounds like a whitewash. And how indecent of them to issue a statement that did not acknowedge the child's death as well as the driver's, and offer
condolences.

I have not read a single news report saying the driver died. The child died and his father was seriously injured. I did read a news report saying the
driver was arrested.

what is your source for NORRA statement? (why do people post purported quotes on the internet without providing citation or link to source?)

The accident took place during the transit of the race vehicles from Ensenada to the start of the first stage of the rally race. Yes a race vehicle
was involved but it was not while it was racing, it was on the way to start the race. Not that it makes any difference, just pointing this out.
The boy that died was standing outside the chase truck which was hit, the boy's father and daughter were injured. The race truck that hit them was
their team. (The injured father was listed as a register driver of the race truck that stuck them). Very very sad.

So it was a very unfortunate accident not even involving racing?
But some ppl pile on before the facts come out and try to use a crisis to drive some change that matches with their ideology. That seems to happen a
lot.

Oh, it involved racing, it happened to a racer and his crew during the race (transit stretch), so involved racing.
I have observed racers and their crews driving aggressively before, during and after races, more often than not. Have you ever seen a racer drive
slowly during a transit stretch during a race?
Remember, ALL accidents are avoidable.

Who is Q?
I don't know what you are seeing, but that video is "unavailable" on my feed (Starlink)
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
