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

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.

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

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 5 points 4 days ago

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