Standing outside haveing a smoke at work, when I heard sirens. I thought they were the fire trucks, but were comeing from the west, down the interstate. Watched a white pick-up being chased by three or four cars. The truck cleared the bridge over Haines Ave. Then took to the ditch to turn around and head back east, then turned the wrong way down the on ramp and headed back into town, that's where I lost sight. All cars followed.

Someones in trouble..

Waiting for the rest of the story.

Keep us updated.. there's a white truck that keeps driving in front of the Miles cam..

[This message has been edited by Bridgit Morrison (3/21/2010)]

that SOB almost hit me on main street by the star... was goin up the street and he came up behind me doin atleast 70mph and i swerved and went up on the sidewalk and he still almost hit me. i would have been dead.

What kinda of truck is it.. I've have seen a few on Miles Cam.. Sounds dangerous watch out ppl

he's been caught.. it was a white id say 01-03 chevy silverado.

anyone know who it is? or the story?

"Then took to the ditch to turn around and head back east"

I meant West, for the record. It won't let me edit.

Glad he's caught.

Alright first of all that is my younger brother and no zach carey he didnt almost hit you because there is video of the chase, and he didnt get close....it is a gmc 1999 sierra and yes hes caught...end of story, I would like to not hear anything bad about him...thank you

sorry i didnt mean to say anything bad it just kinda makes u think when something like that happens. i didnt mean to offend anyone i shouldnt have posted anything. sorry again.

yes it does make you think,sry for making "snapping" its just my younger brother and I no this is gunna be the talk of the town for a long time...and he knows it. I just dont want people to think just because he did this tonight hes not a bad kid or person...he went throught some rough things and made a bad decision, yes he couldnt handled it better but things happen...sry for being a a**

[This message has been edited by Leejevne (3/21/2010)]

u had the right too... i over-reacted. and i especially have no right to say anything about him since i don't know him. i thought it was a total different person.

again thank you

When I opened this, I thought there would be info about the 2 cars that crashed last night. One went off the sunset drivein lot into the ditch, past Mac's Frontierland... and the other went flying into the fence at the big building across the tracks, past macs. Both cars looked a bit screwed up.

first of all, I am sure you did not get to see the video of the chase, unless you were in the truck with him, then maybe I can see you saying that he did not almost hit that other car. So what he was having problems, he was driving recklessly, and could have killed people. Zack, there is no reason to apologize for your comments, he could have killed you, and leejevne don't care, lets tell the truth. I think a long jail sentence would help his troubles, it would give him a long time to sort things out. Remember, he put people in jeopardy driving like an ass, and what would have happened if he killed someone?? Things to think about.

he almost hit me and my buddies. we had to get out of the way. driving a white pickup. sob dreserves to go to jail. he didnt half to run from the cops because he is having problems. he needed to talk to someone before doing anything stupid like that.

I dont know who this kid is, but by making excuses for him and his "bad night" is not going to teach him a damn thing. So what he had a bad night, learn some friggin coping skills. YOU COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE!!! There were tons of kids getting out of prom last night, driving friends home, and minding their own business. There are parents getting off of work and picking up children to get them home to their own beds, people running to the store for that late night gallon of milk for breakfast in the morning. None of these people deserve to be scared out of their minds, or caught in the midst of a "bad night". Although nobody got hurt, this could have been a true "evening to remember" for someone in the wrong place at the right time. Bite my head off if you must...I really don't care! He needs to take responsibility for his actions and realize what could of happened! Even though it didnt this time he really needs to realize that it could have. Direct your anger where it deserves to be directed...get the kid some help, he OBVIOUSLY needs it! Rediculous!

Ahhh....this is classic mc.com......dirtbag screws up, dirtbag's family member posts, "don't post anything bad about dirtbag!"....it happens over and over here.

I love it.

wow its sad that im 20 and i act older than you, yes he will spend jailtime and yes i think he should it was STUPID. I dont think he should get let off, but should a person be judged by one mistake even tho it was a big one. Dirtbag huh? u seriously call my brother and my family dirtbags?

If the bag fits....

*ducking*

Im not gunna go back and forth for days, i just wanted to clear up the story, and you guys can say what you want but until you know his name, or even our familys, you should really not say anything...but like i said do what you will, i cleared up the story

are you kidding me leejevene????? So what you are saying that everyone deserves a second chance after screwing up big?? So if I was to shoot and kill one of your parents or relatives (hypothetical situation only, used for an example only) that you would want me to walk free because I deserve a second chance? OK let me tone it down a bit and say that I was running from the cops and I hit you and you were a quadriplegic afterwards, oops, give me a slap on the hand and let me go, would you be ok with that?? You are showing your age with your logic, and with him being your younger brother I see that he is going to be a "soon to be" repeat offender if he can't keep his emotions under check.

Sorry. No excuse for a high speed chase down Main street, risking injuring or killing people, because the driver was in a snit. He deserves to get the book thrown at him, hard, and you and yours need to learn there is NO EXCUSE for risking death and dismemberment because you are in a bad mood.

Gee, officer, sorry I killed those two kids coming back from the movies but I was in such a bad mood, surely that is adequate explanation. Sheesh.

I have read all of your post..and I am not here to defend anyone by any means what so ever. But name calling of this boy and his family doesnt sovle or prove anything,but how blind this community is to the problems we have with the youth in this town. I am employeed at a place where we deal with a ray of illnessess from alcoholism, dysfunctional families, mental health, abuse,negletic etc. I also have teenagers. Everyday I see at least 2 teenagers come in for one of these issuse and it very eye opening, and scarey to sit there and see these kids come in. It's also heartbreaking to know that their parents drop them off thinking thats all they need to do "we will fix them" so why should we bother once there are home attitiude. Sorry to say but thats not how it works. Parents need to be a part of their childrens lives. Know the... where will you be, when will you be home, who will you be with...your not their friends your their parents!! I can honestly tell you I could care less if make my child mad for wanting to know where they are...if I do that I feel I have done my job. We have a very high rate of suicide, underage drinking and drug use in this town and we need to pull together as a community and figure out how to reach these kids and get them help. People here seem to have the NOT in our town syndrome...sorry to burst your bubble but YES it is in our town!!

I totally agree with you Tina!! Amen.

reno..not giving a second chances...I believe he should be punished for what he did, maybe get some sort of anger mamagement class. But lets not forget we gave the Mayor a second chance...yes I went there!!

Oh! SNAP!

Maybe he can get his teeth fixed and some new coveralls in the process so this thing won't be total loss. The driver. Not the mayor.

[This message has been edited by Bob Netherton II (3/21/2010)]

The mayor was driving 70mph down Main Street?! I missed that one.

my vote says: high-speed chase through town + cops = public can comment however they please. if the individual behind the wheel of said truck isn't in check with their emotions, or perhaps under the influence and making stupid decisions that have the potential to impact the public, game on.

growing up is hard for all of us, coddling a child won't help.

I tend to walk everywhere, and I always feel safe when I'm on main street. For someone to endanger people like that is so childish and rude. I hope he sits in jail for a long time. I don't care how late at night it was, he could have hurt so many people. I am glad he didn't but what a loser.

Oh I had a bad day, I'm gonna go kill somebody. Yeah, Right.

Patty, I am all up for second chances, it was the sisters comments that made me say what I did.

We dont need no judge or jury.. Get a rope!

Seriously, if there is no pursuit, there is no high speed chase. If the vehicle is identified couldn't he be arrested later? Most cities have policies in place to avoid these chases and putting the general public in further danger. Yes, 'throw the book' at the driver but in a town as small as Miles City its very easy to track this person down without the drama.

Ok Bruce thats all fine and dandy. From what I understand they chased him on the interstate and then quit chasing because he was going so fast. HE CAME BACK LOOKING FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY QUIT!!!!!! He didnt slow down! He went back at it again! WTF!
Make excuses all day long. Bull crap!

You guys like talking S**t on here?

Get the rope? honestly you f***ing Douchbag, You are really mature by sayin he is a bad kid for one bad night, No one got killed or hurt so end of story, just because he made one bad decision you criticize him for it, i think everyone has made a bad decision once in there life,

Also callin Leejevne and his family dirtbags really low, In my mind that makes all of you talkin s*** about his family make you really mature people, psh thats a f***in joke,

The people really do come out of the woodwork, don't they. Here's the deal. If you are a stupid ass and drive anything but 25mph on main, you deserve jailtime and loss of your license. No matter the age, or maturity.

For example, driving down main I have people tailgating my car because I am driving 23mph. Thankfully they were paying attention when I needed to slam on the brakes because of an animal running infront of my car. If not, my new car would be.. well.. not so new...

Miles Citians at their best.

Hmmmmmmm acutually on main by napa it turn to 35, so your last post was not correct you db, and somebody that is going over 25 deserves to get their licese taken away????? thats the dumbest s*** i have ever heard, So Miles City officers watch out for that dodge journey going 23, oh no!!!!!! And people really come out of the woodwork??? your really so much better,

You are on the defense pretty hardcore aren't you.

I do know about the 25-35 change, and I also change along with it.

My point is, if you are endangering someone's life by speeding, which you are most definitely on Main, you should have your license evaluated and/or removed.

Why abbreviate? Just call me a douchebag and move on with life.

Oh, and I do not drive a Dodge Journey.

This just gets better and better. Time to pop some popcorn!

Hey Nate28! Why don't you go pluck your unibrow?

Hey Gunnar, share the popcorn? :P

Yeah josh i am at the defense because i know the kid really well, i also will call you a douchbag, You say to get on with my life, at least i didnt drop outta high school queer. And you need one cuz you criticizing someone you dont even know. Yo Gunner i aint no redneck so i dont know where your gettin this unibrow s*** at cuz you dont even know me.

[This message has been edited by Nate28 (3/21/2010)]

I don't seem to understand. Yes there was a high speed chase, okay that was wrong and he should be in jail for it. Is he? yes. Did he accually hurt someone? No. Was it a stupid choice? Yes. Did he really come back because the cops stopped chasing him at first as if to say "come get me"? HIGHLY DOUBT IT. What does it matter that he could have done this or that when he didn't? I guess I don't understand the whole kicking while there down.Am I wrong for believing when a family member ask politly to stop people should stop? or that I believe that rude, mean, and flat out nasty comments should not be made? Just some things to think on.

Yo tina, he didnt come back looking for the cops dumb b***h, he was trying to find a way to get home, I know he made a bad decision by evading police but you dont need to be criticize him just because he was having problems, everyone has made bad decisions so just cuz it makes all you milescity ppl feel better to talk s*** about ppl you dont even know, its pretty rediculous

hey kender,hes not in jail, hes a juvenile, he got a lot of tickets

Oh okay. sorry Nate. oh and I think its really astounding to see someone stick up for someone they care for as vigorously as you have. And again i'm sorry for not making sure i had the facts correct.

But the point is he SHOULD be in jail or at least get to sit for a few more hours than he probably did. This same sort of thing that happened last year when a friend of mine lost this life because of some stupid kids action to drive reckless down by the river.. Whether or not he was having problems shouldn't be an excuses to make an bad decision.. Yes, everyone makes bad decision and even worse ones when they are going through emotional times.. That is no excuses to act like an idiot and endanger ppl's lives.. We ALL have bad days.. deal with it.. that's life.. it does not give you any sort of reason to almost kill ppl.. he should be punished for the crimes he committed.. That's my vote lol

[This message has been edited by Bridgit Morrison (3/21/2010)]

I'm picturing nudie mudflaps, dual rebel flags flappin' in the breeze, a horn that plays "Dixie" and Boss Hog's boys in hot pursuit.

I wonder if he was on his cell phone and didn't realize how fast he was going.

Hmmmm....a bad decision would be not wearing a jacket on a chilly day, not acting carelessly that could result in fatalities. The public has a right to be outraged because he didn't just put himself at risk, but he put Miles Citians and/or their loved ones at risk as well. It's not as if he headed for the hills driving like an idiot, he came into a populated area. Thank God nobody was hurt in this incident.
For those who know him, I highly doubt you would be on here being so defensive of someone if the shoe was on the other foot and someone you didn't know had put you and your loved ones in danger. Reality check!

Ok Nate so CLEARLY you are upset. This is my point exactly. You are behaving just as badly as he did just in a different way. People need to find a better way to deal with their anger issues than by calling names. I dont beleive I called anyone any names or said anything nasty. The fact is he drove at extremely high speeds in areas he shouldnt have. He could have killed someones family member....how would you have felt had it been YOUR family member??? Would you be defending him so much? You are right...HE DIDNT! So should it just be let go?? NO! If it is just let go there WILL be a next time. Hopefully this way the boy will get the help he needs to learn constructive ways to deal with his emotions.

its cool kender, to you others, no one got killed or hurt, its a done deal so stop bitchin about it,

Tina i am a little upset, he didnt hurt or kill anyone, and if he were to do that i wouldnt be supportin him like i am now but he will be learning his lesson, his parents have that takin car of. so there is not going to be that next time, he is gettin punished for he actions. It just bothers me that ppl in this town like to talk s*** about ppl they dont know. Oh and for you ppl that say a white sierra almost hit you. I was givin permission to pursue and we were honking and flashin our lights to get you to move.

[This message has been edited by Nate28 (3/21/2010)]

Nate. You were in the friggin' vehicle!?

Hell that makes it worse.. maybe his parents should have been more 'there' for him before the switch in his brain said it was ok to go driving around, at high rates of speed at 2 in the morning.. what parents let their kids even leave at that time? Maybe they should be more aware of where their children are..

Bob...I'm pretty sure that "Permission to persue" doesn't mean he was in the vehicle. I'm pretty sure it means he was given permission to follow. And Bridget....Prom was last night. He had left prom upset, I beleive a relationship issue. Don't quote me because I am just like everyone else here. I don't know the whole story, only bits and pieces.

Oddly enough, I can remember a fatality a few years back (okay, many years back) caused by someone upset over their romance after the prom. He was upset and driving like an idiot and oops! two people ended up dead.

Guess what? Driving like an idiot because your teenage romance is on the rocks is not justifying behavior. A girl I knew would be alive today rather than dead and buried more than 30 years if a young man had not made a "bad decision" after prom.

Now that I think about it, the problem is that prom. Get rid of the prom and teenagers have no excuse for driving like idiots and risking other people's lives.

Yo Gunner i aint no redneck so i dont know where your gettin this unibrow s*** at cuz you dont even know me.

holy crap nate i needed a great laugh, thanks man kid.

The young man is being punished....rest assured. I have a question for those on mc.com who have a child in grade school, middle school, or high school at this time: When your child gets to be of age to drive and/or go to "prom" or wherever....and lets say they make a "stupid" choice....are you going to want to put up with the crap people say about your child on mc.com? Everyone in their life time will make choices and decisions that may or may not be the right ones. I have, my husband has, my brother has, his kids have....and many others that I know have. It does'nt mean that they should be persecuted and hung in the town square. A man recently shot and killed his wife in our town, and the mistake this kid made last night is getting more press time than that man got. One last thought....people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

[This message has been edited by T Brown (3/21/2010)]

One final thought. Look at the kids who have been raised better than that. Thanks to Prom, I know a few friends who were in an emotional flurry, but they didn't decide to go on a MilesCity vehicular rampage. They went home and cried about it, like a normal teen would do. This literally can fall back onto the parents being... well... parents.

I'm not saying they were bad parents whatsoever, it could be the kid just really wasn't thinking.

Anyway, I agree. We know the MilesCity.com Story, now how about we chill and wait for the real thing Monday morning. Which is only a few short hours away.

Josh the wreck you speak of by macs was that on edgewood right after brush trucking? And what's the story with that one? I seen Jacks wrecker getting the red chevy with I believe 13 plates on it out from there. Did not look good the truck was really messed up. Then just to add fuel to the fire, what happened to the Allwaste fence AGAIN the poor fence has been takin out more times. Looks like it was a black BMW that did that one, according to the pieces of car that were there when my friend and I stopped and looked at it.

WOW!! I have read all of the recent posts, expecially Nate's. Now I see he is a minor and such that they will just slap him on the hand and send him on his way. But I have two questions about the posts I have read

1: If he is a minor and his rage caused him to lead police on a high speed chase with the POSSIBILITY of hurting someone, does giving him a "handful of tickets" really do anything? I am sure his parents will pay it for him, and his friends will think he is cool, so this will not detour him in the future. One can only imagine what will happen in the future if a girl breaks up with him or there is some sort of confrontation.

2: If Nate was given "permission to persue" who gave you permission? Bob, I would call MCPD and find out and if he was driving recklessly behind you, you might be able to make a citizens arrest for this, as there is evidence on here that he committed such offense. I have never heard of the cops saying go find your friend and drive like an ass to do so. Also your comment about not being a drop out from school makes me wonder also, because there are sure a lot of grammatical errors in your posts. Maybe you should have paid more attention in school.

I guess what some people don't think is that there was a possibility of someone being hurt, and since there was no one hurt, there is no harm, no foul. But I guess the people on here have a different way of thinking. So let me put this out there to all of those who are defending this juvenile delinquent, if a person was in town shooting randomly into houses, and one of those was yours and it barely missed you, would you be ok with it and let him out of jail if he was a juvinile? Just remember, a bullet is a deadly weapon just like a car is!

very well said reno!

Hey Reno, maybe you should use spell check before you comment on Nate's grammer, because I see a small error in your post!!!! Teehee!!

[This message has been edited by ty head (3/21/2010)]

Well reno, me and my friend were givin permission to pursue by mcpd dumbass, also its a blog, so dont talk s*** cuz im abbreviating words sayin i should pay attention in school douchbag.

No bob i was in another gmc sierra of the same year, if i was in the vehicle the cops were chasing, this wouldnt have happened

oh and also he parents aint gunna be paying for his fines, he is gunna have to pay for it all on his own, and reno talking bout someone shooting into houses, Dude thats a whole different situation. If he were to do that he would be in jail even tho he is a juvenile. but that wasnt the case. i dont see the point in you tryin to compare a shooting to a high speed chase?

[This message has been edited by Nate28 (3/21/2010)]

Not a blog... a Forum. There's a difference.

S*** my bad, sry every one its a forum not a blog, psh who cares

Hey nate, you just got SERVED!!!! Oh and Josh, i waved at you today and you didn't wave back. What is that all about?

Hmm. Apparently I wasn't paying attention, orrrrr I dunno. Where was this wave at? Going through the underpass?

Yeah, didn't really look like you were paying attention though haha, it's okay this time, but don't let it happen again.

Riiigggghhhhtttt. And no I wasn't paying attention. I was too busy dialing on my cell phone. :P

Me too. I wonder if that ban includes texting while riding a bike?

Uhh... Well if you happen to mow over an elderly lady.. Then maybe. Bahahaha

Well Bobby is going to be pissed when he can't listen to his scanner on his bike.

Indeed!

Hope he gets at least as much punishment as the wife of a certain District Judge who was arrested near Miles City a couple years back!

uhh yeah. I'm sure he is getting punished in full. Can you just not leave him alone right now?

[This message has been edited by ty head (3/21/2010)]

Yeah, join our chatter about driving/biking while on the phone. It's the bees knees! :P

Yeah, seriously. This thread is now known as the "chatter about driving/biking while on the phone" thread.

reno...I have found out I know this person he's a mutal friend to my son. His parents won't be paying any of his fines...and trust me his friends don't think it was cool, actually they where very worried about him last night and were trying to figure out what happend to lead him to do such a thing. So don't make assumptions on anyone or there parents unless you know them personally.

you guys flirtin wit eachother or what?

[This message has been edited by Nate28 (3/21/2010)]

Yes my point exactly Patty O.

Lol Nate, i think Tiger is waiting for you in your bed.

lol you gay, acutaly i think theres a storm in my bed lol jk

[This message has been edited by Nate28 (3/21/2010)]

That's too bad. You'll have to close your windows so the wind and rain doesn't get in your bedroom. lol

bahaha im gunna buy me some shutters

Gunnar, pass the popcorn, this is getting good! And Tina, could you please tell me how several cars speeding about town, police or otherwise, is safer than one idiot racing down main.

My point is high speed pusuits in town indanger more than they protect the public by prolonging the 'chase'

Life is not a cop show on tv.

Sorry Ty, I will try better!!

Nate, it just shows how immature you are by calling people names. Maybe you should go back to high school where name calling is cool.

I guess you don't understand my rationale with my comparison. But that is ok. So let me put another scenario out there for you since my first one was a little complicated for you.

Say you were walking in the parking lot at walmart, and as you leave I am driving and I almost hit you as you come out the door. Now lets say your car is parked by dairy queen, and as you walk to your car I keep on driving fast by you over and over, almost hitting you every chance I get as you go to your car, would you be pissed off at me? Of course you would, you would be out raged. Now if you can comprehend that, then you can comprehend why people are pissed at your friend.

Reno- Come on man. You will try better? Now you have grammer and spelling issues. You let me down son

I am so sorry dad for I have sinned.

if bobby can't use his scanner on his bike ........how is he going keep informed on everything? would they take his bike away for misbehaving?

i understand that senario better reno, yes i would be pissed, but it also pisses me of that ppl are callin him and his family dirtbags, and i apologize for my language, i just dont find the nessesity of ppl "who probably havent been innocent there entire life" badmouthing him and his family. he made a bad choice. everyone does every now and then, no one is perfect. S*** happens, the way i see it is that everyone is over reacting on the situation,

[This message has been edited by Nate28 (3/21/2010)]

What about the high speed chase that happen a few nights ago? A 14yr old was driving at high speed in town and was stopped on Valley dr about 4 miles out !!!!

Nate

I do understand being pissed about the name calling, as the family had nothing to do with it. But like I said if I chased you through the parking lot and you put it on here, you would get the same reaction from everyone. Just have to see both sides of the situation.

[This message has been edited by reno (3/21/2010)]

Sorry to poke fun, but since someone I know isn't posting here I'll say it. Nate28 actually makes Josh Rath seem very mature. I'm sorry for any rude comments I've made about you Josh, as this guy/girl is a total loser. I'm all for defending your friends, but seriously USE SPELLCHECK/Grammar Check? WTH? Seriously Nate, you keep insulting people who rise above you and your use of Douchebag. The kettle really shouldn't call the pot black. It gets really annoying that the only insult you can come up with is douchebag. I mean, use your darn intelligence, if you have any, and state how you feel.

Shannon.

Hey stephan, does it really matter that much to use spell check? jw, also sry for over using the term Douchbag and other name calling. I was a little pissed off that ppl were ranting on saying he and his family were a bunch of dirtbags, I may have over reacted, i apologize for that. But i do stand up for friends which you understand. Certain ppl were saying stuff about him and they dont even know him, it bugs me when ppl criticize someone when they personally dont know them. Oh Reno from one of your previous posts, I wasn't the one driving the truck when me and my friend were given the go to pursue. We also weren't driving recklessly, chances are that the the other gmc sierra was the one that almost hit you "Bob" because we were honking and flashing our lights waiting for them somebodys to pull over and let us by.

[This message has been edited by Nate28 (3/21/2010)]

Patty are you saying now that you know WHO it is that you feel differently about the situation?? If that happens to be the case then I am very disappointed. Who cares WHO it was. Peoples feelings should be the same no matter what! So its ok for one person to do it rather than another? Amazing.

I hope you do somthing bad. And they throw the book at you. Or tell you to go hang yourself. Your rediculous lady.

This whole "permission to pursue" thing smells fishy to me. I would be stunned to learn that the police actually gave permission to pursue to a family member, or anybody else for that matter. Think of the lawsuit that would ensue if that pursuing vehicle had killed someone. After being given permission to pursue by the local authorities? I would like to hope that the police are not that stupid. I believe that a high speed chase requires a certain level of skill by the pursuers, and I can't imagine a scenario where the police would allow amateurs to participate. I can only imagine that the police were a little busy during the pursuit, and would have told every citizen, loudly and forcibly, to "Go the f**k away" and let us do our job. To do or say anything but that is lunacy.
Perhaps those are not the words a police officer would use, but you get the point.
Am I missing something here? Would the police allow someone that had no formal training to join a high speed pursuit? It seems to me that the only thing that is scarier than an idiot racing around town at high speed is 2 or more idiots racing around town at high speed.

[This message has been edited by Matt - Schmitz (3/22/2010)]

Ok Heavychevy I NEVER said for anyone to go HANG themselves NOR did I say to throw the book at him! If you read back what I said......I HOPE THE BOY GET SOME HELP LEARNING HOW TO HANDLE HIS EMOTIONS HE OBVIOUSLY NEEDS IT! Learn to read don't put words in my mouth. If you can't see after all of this that he needs some help than maybe you need some help also.

This is seriously getting out of hand, and everyone needs to move on. This is a minor, not some drunk dumbass. He/She probably read this, along with literally getting an asschewing from their parents and a heap of fines. They have had enough.

Now, everyone with outstanding egos, similar to myself... which is just about everyone in this thread... drop it. Move on with life.

Hey, Webmaster, don't you think Nate needs a gag?

Well said Matt, that is what I was asking. Someone should ask MCPD if they really did give permission to persue, and if they did heads should roll.

Are there any policies with the local PD and SO about pursuit speed through town? When does the officer break off the pursuit, AFTER the local population has been put in danger or before?

Well let me rephrase this, we were allowed to follow the police in the pursuit, he need help and we were the closest ones he new that were notified of the situation that were inthe area, we weren't driving recklessly, so everyone should just let this go, he isbeing punished, its getting takin care off. He is already going to be having a tough time, he family has read some of your ppls comments, how would you guys feel of ppl were talkin s*** about your families? There's nothing you guys can do about it, it's said and done, so seriously just let it go!

Nate, I hope your momma isn't reading your posts. Well, on second thought she's probably well aware of your potty mouth. Perhaps you should get acquainted with Mr. Roget?

Nate's mamma can read?

how would you guys feel of ppl were talkin s*** about your families?

how about your comments nate? you have called people douchebags, queers, bitches and other lovely names, why the double standard? you ask us all to drop the subject and yet you keep posting!

in regards to josh rath, he gets crap on this forum all the time about his decision to drop out of school, however his comments are typically grammatically correct and somewhat mature. yours not so much...

Is the webmaster hiding & laughin at all of you? This is ridonkulous.
To whoever is trying to defend this KID, be happy he didn't hurt anyone because he could've & you wouldn't be talkin the smack that u are right now.
To those who are bashin the kid & his family, you'd be just as pissed at what's being said if that punk was your flesh & blood.
Webmaster, I suggest purgatory

No Tina, I don't feel differently about the situation. I was just stating unless you know his family or friends don't judge them. What he did was wrong and he should have thought things through and acted differently.

Please Mr. Webmaster! Don't gag any of these people!

I agree with Matt. Nate, your story is bulls***. Please note, I wrote it in your native language.

BAILIFF WHACK HIS PEEPEE!

OK so I may not spell well, I may now use the best grammar. But Nate SHUT THE HELL UP!!! My god for saying you're not "redneck" Yo sure does spelt lick won.

Heavey chevy I'm pretty sure i know who you are and you know who I am, you need your ass kicked for your hang yourself comment I mean really?

Bruce, there's worse things ppl do to "need the rope" that is out of line.

Yes I agree with the people saying that this kid needs to learn from this and not just get a slap on the wrist. I think the cops chasing this kid through town was the stupidest thing they could do. They knew he kept going back to B&C oil or that area and honking and driving away, why not find out what he kept going there for? The cops going as fast as they were chasing this kid down main street were making just as much of a problem as the kid himself.

I'm sorry for this kids family, and it bothers me that people are calling his family dirtbags. I know his dad he's one of the best mechanics I know, when there's a problem I can't fix he's the guy I take my stuff to, and Lee is probably one of the best guys i know, he'd give you the shirt off his back and the cash out of his pocket if you needed it.

people just get over it and be happy that it wasn't one of your kids, be happy that it ended safely, be happy you didn't make a bad choice like that, I am!!!

Hey TJH, all those other folks may know you are - I don't but I wish I did. What you said needed to be said, and I hope folks on BOTH sides of this issue read it and heed it.

I think the one question that need to be answered is was he given permission to persue, I don't get on here much but someone said the mayor posts on here. So Mr. Mayor, can you settle this issue once and for all?? If not you can someone get confirmation of this?

If this is true, and he was given permission, I would love to come back and visit, maybe I can get me a nifty light bar for my car and follow the cops around all day

I'm not gagging anyone or having this thrown in to Purgatory. There is a special level required when one of those things has to happen. You are all just talking. I have nothing to do with it. Try to remain civil.

The way this conversation is going makes me laugh, but it really isn't funny when you think about what the problem is. The problem is being portrayed to the nation this week
on the Today show, the topic is the girl in Florida who was beaten to near death by a local boy she didn't even know. The problem was "texting/blogging with strangers on topics concerning friends" and next thing you know somebody's mad enough to kill.
The Broward County Sheriff explains that this texting and blogging is not a proper form of communication between teens. They are not learning to work things out properly (face to face) which is an important skill to have. What happens next is tragic.
See these stories at todayshow.com, notice they ask, even beg, all parents to study this and have a talk with their kids.
I sure wish kids in Miles City had more productive, healthy and fun activities to engage in. Please get your fun2u facility up and running. You'll see an incredible difference in how your kids look, feel, and sound.

There are plenty of productive things for kids to engage in... No one wants to go out and find them! When I was in high school there was a group for everyone and everything! Kids are lazy, and full of excuses, and without parents who will actually push them to get off their butts and do something. I believe that if a kid has nothing to do, it's their own fault. Join 4-H...FFA, band...drama...sports...get a job...summer camps...learn to fish...buy a bike...and don't tell me that 4-H is just for hicks... There is something there for everyone that wants to be involved!!!! The real problem in this town isn't that we don't have a swimming pool, or a rec center for kids and teens.... it's that kids just want to sit around, and wait for a handout instead of exerting energy FINDING something to do.

...And now for the rest of the story...

Well said spacekace! I agree 100%!!!

Too many kids in this day and age are used to getting everything handed to them. There are plenty of things to do if you just use a little effort and imagination and are willing to maybe step out of your comfort zone for a while and try something new and/or different.
I get so sick of hearing kids complaining about being bored and having nothing to do. Pull your head out of the computer or the cell phone keyboard, and get out there.

As for this particular young man, I don't know the circumstances of what lead to his actions, what his family or home life is like, or who he even is. However, I think this is another example of how kids are not taught these days that there is a reaction for every action, or a consequennce, maybe good or maybe bad, for every choice we make in life. Do I think he should be punished for this event? Absolutely. And no, i'm not talking life imprisonment, a tar-and-feathering in town square or a just little slap on the wrist, but due process and due consequences. He clearly needs to understand that there is a consequence for this choice, and luckily for him this time no one was killed by his actions. He got lucky. The next time might be a lot more grim. Hopefully he learned a valuable lesson from this and will better understand how to deal with any challenges in life in the future.

Thanks for the rest of the story. I'm guessing he wasn't very drunk, otherwise the story would have been more about a bad crash.
I kind of change the subject all the time and take it back to what some people are trying to do to help Miles City. It all comes together, trust me.
You mentioned sports as an alternative to getting in trouble. Excellent, yes! But perhaps the typical sports aren't "right" for some kids. They weren't for me.
Fun2U will be offering the alternative sports that a person can get really good at all by himself. There might be a team involved and some coaching, but not a school or all the politics.
Another point that obviously isn't being hammered is that this type of facility offers FAMILY participation. I won't go into how important it is for families to do things TOGETHER. Hopefully Fun2U is being planned as a center for family use, not just a drop off, babysitting service while Mom and Pop go to the Bison.
As far as the swimming part goes, understand that swimming is a winter sport. Swimming, competition, sport, winter. Swimming might also be considered a fun activity involving splashing and screaming, yes that can be done at the swimmin hole downtown or anywhere. That is summer fun, not to be confused with the sport of swimming. My experience with growing up on a farm in Kinsey was there was plenty to do all summer, not much time for boredom and mischief... that's why I was there... the rest of the year was full of school (plus it's acivities) and sports (swim team) and church. Not much time for boredom and mischief... that was the plan. Seemed to work out good for me, my kids are doing well with it too. None of these activities center around the consumption of alcohol, in fact in the modern sports world NUTRITION is a huge factor athletes study, coaches push, and parents control.
Back on topic, I hope our un-named speedster gets pointed into a direction that helps him find healthy, safe things to do when he's bored and has problems with dealing with it.

Ok im going to say this again, pursue was my wrong choice of words, we were giving permission to follow police at a safe distance to wave him down to pull over for police, until his brother got to town to wave him down, sry for the mix up, officer was talking to his brother and said he could follow at a safe distance...I'm sry i got a little pissed and said somethings i didnt mean, i used the wrong choice of words, sry the for the confusion!

I was givin permission to pursue and we were honking and flashin our lights to get you to move.

we were giving permission to follow police at a safe distance to wave him down to pull over for police

Which is it? How could you be trying to get someone to move out of his way if you were following BEHIND at a safe distance?

This is more than simply using the wrong word. Something smells fishy in Denmark.

Hey Nate28,

Didn't you use to be #21? Well, I guess Nate21 doesn't have the same ring to it.

Police had there lights flashing Jimmie, people were pulling over and we were behind them then whoever pulled back out in front off us so we were honking and flashing our lights so we could keep up with police,

I wish it would have been a Toyota...

Miles City: The Home of the Jerry Springer Show!

tjh, sorry you didnt get what I was saying. I'll put it plain: People were way over reacting to this incident. IMHO police pursuits/chases have as much or more chance of injuring/killing someone as an individual racing down the street. If the police can/have identified the vehicle and driver its very easy in a town of this size to arrest him later.

Take away the chase and the driver has no reason to run,

Only in Mayberry.

I think it is funny how some people believe their kids do no wrong, lol.... You can't say your kids do no wrong because you are not with them 24/7.. I see quite a few teens in and out of M&H at night very drunk or whatever they do and most of the time these kids belong to the parents that say my kid don't drink, my kid don't smoke, my kid knows better... YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT YOUR KID IS DOING WHEN YOU ARE NOT THERE, so stop thinking you do...... Wake up parents no one is perfect..... Everyone makes mistakes and yes some are dumber than others but that is part of life and we deal with it the best we can. We all make bad choices at times.
No one has the right to call names, no one so lets act like adults and all talk like one, his family had nothing to do with this, and sometimes police allow close friends and family to help in situations as long as they follow what is allowed by law.

The Miles City Police Department condones flashing your lights and honking your horn at other motorists in an effort to get them to pull over so you can keep up with a high speed pursuit? Is this true? Surely you would have to exceed the speed limit to be of any use in such a scenario and the MCPD would condone civilians doing that? I really doubt it. Please tell me that didn't actually happen.

tj your a b*tch you can shut up faget! call me if you wanna talk spit.

EXCUSE ME?!!?!? YOUR USE OF THE WORD "faget" (which by the way is spelled wrong thus proving your lack of intelligence) IS VERY OFFENSIVE TO ME! I hate when people use that word. It is so derogatory and ignorant. It is not an insult you should just be swinging around in public forums. Where did you go to school? Did they teach you any respect of your fellow human being? I could come up with a plethora of words to disrespect you and all you care about, but I'm going to float higher than the road of insults! What you really should do it keep your mouth shut till you learn to state your opinions without vulgarity and disrespect.

it's spelt f-a-g-g-o-t, not faget. i don't personally use the word, however if you're going to insult someone in writing it has more impact if spelt right. moran.

and i second your post stephen!

I love Lamp!

Oddly enough, I now know who "heavychevy" is. A teenager who is currently attending high school. A farm boy who pays more attention in Farm Shop than in English... Which was pretty obvious.

If they aren't who I think they are, then I take it back. But I'm 95% sure.

Please people get a hold of yourselves and act like adults. So many of the threads get so far out of hand, all any of you are doing is showing your ignorance. We are not here to judge, we are not here to criticize but we are here to treat each other with respect and kindness. Give the kid and his family a break,,,what if were you.

I don't think it's very nice to call someone a bundle of sticks.

I cant believe over 140 posts on this.
