The driver said he was rushing home to find out what Putin was planning.

A Florida man, who was pulled over for speeding last week, attempted to place blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin during the traffic stop, authorities said.

The unidentified driver was pulled over by a Flagler County deputy in Palm Coast last Thursday for allegedly running a stop sign and going 50 mph in a 30 mph zone, the deputy said in bodycam footage released by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday.

According to the footage, the man gave the deputy a myriad of reasons as to why he was spending, including that he had just got the car and was trying to get it out of “sport mode.” The man also argued he saw another car coming and was trying to “get out before them.”

  1. For some reason this reminds me of the debate over lesser evil voting. It seens too often political strategies are like 2D maneuvers buried in principles, with no sense of the temporal, of the factor of time. In the case of elections, why not vote for the “greater evil” if–over the long run–the system itself that perpetually confines us to two narrow choices is finally undermined by some kind of “scorched earth” approach? In the case of Russia/Ukraine, is it controversial to say that anglo Atlanticist financial and military hegemony–the apex evil for all anarchists–is more likely undermined by SUPPORTING Russia for the TIME BEING? For to oppose Russian victory is to strengthen the hand of the neocon arch-statists in Washington.
