Via Reddit, except the important context has been removed in favor of protecting the police.

What the fuck is that title and also what the fuck is that text underneath it?

[–] jonne 13 points 10 months ago

The Chevrolet Camaro was, in fact, not stolen, but was a rental they were enjoying, and was out for repo because the rental agency did not do their due diligence and keep up with payments.

That sort of explains what OP was trying to convey with the title. Basically, the driver wasn't the 'thief', the company he rented the car from was.

Glad it's not just me. Thought I was having a stroke.

He thought he was having a stroke, but instead, he was, of course, reading it, apparently, of course.

Also, this happened 4 years ago. Why is it being posted like it's news?

[–] Five@slrpnk.net 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's being posted to Reddit, without a date, as chum for bootlickers. !california hasn't discussed this one yet, consider it a vaccination shot for this Reddit mind virus.

If I can't use guns to protect property why can police?

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Now you see what people mean when they say the police have a monopoly on violence.
