I do not disagree at all. I am just confused on why this is 'romanticized' and 'published'. If I went and robbed my neighbor of $10k in a record breaking "quick" fashion, would I get journalists at my door looking to publish articles around it?
- endorphone 7y agoEveryone speeds. Everyone. Everyone breaks traffic laws. Most see traffic enforcement where there are no victims as heavy-handed. Comparing that with a robbery is specious. "But they could have..." But they didn't. Nor have the many who came before. The risk profile of these guys is less than someone who is checking a text while driving. (Okay, a tiny, tiny minority of drivers never break the law. They are the extreme exception)
- tomatotomato37 7y agoNo, because anyone with a bumpkey and a couple days to kill on staking the place out can do that. If you went and broke into the Natural History Museum to steal the Hope Diamond than you too would have journalists breaking down your door in order to get your story, because the latter actually takes an impressive amount of skill.
