wow. I hope they get EVERYTHING they deserve.
What makes people think this way. Ya it was probally funny for them at first until they got busted. Serves them right.
I bet the dad hooked the lights up for the kid so that kid would be 'cool' since the dad is an electrician.
How about getting your facts straight? Way to listen to a one-sided story. There were no LIGHTS ON TOP OF THE CAR.
I love how the Amherst cops slant stories. This is not the full story. I just hope THE REAL STORY ends up getting posted.
Facts and hearsay are two completely different things. Just hope that justice is served.
No, there were no lights on top of the car. They were in the grill.
I know because I had seen the car.
I also told them they were going to get busted one day and they finally did.
And the dad deserves every thing he gets as well. He is worse then the kid.
