MIAMI BEACH, Florida (AP) -- A French tourist remained in critical condition Sunday, a day after she was badly hurt, and her sister was killed, when a police vehicle ran them over as they sunbathed on a beach.

Wow, they drive on the beach down there?

yea saw that on the news,,,good thing they wherent driven a 7,,they woulda hit more then 2 people,hahaha stupid cops,,good thing it was just french people,,,,oh man thats bad,,,nevermind ehehhe https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

Apparently so.. That really sucks though.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png I just saw it on the news about 15 mins ago..

WTF?!?!

Driving on a beach. . .at what point does that even sound like a good idea?!?!?!

Idiots!

cops on long island do it all the time but they have alittle "driven lane" prob the same setup down in fl,,,and im guessen since the people who got hit arent from america im guessen they didnt know any better and camped out in the middle of the road

yea they drive on the beach down the shore, and there's recreational sand driving on LBI as well, they do it everywhere really that ive been to with a beach.



me and my friends have taken the ATV's that the guys on the shore use lol those were fun but we stuck out like sore thumbs so we jumped off and ran away haha.



see thats why it's bad to have sun year round like in florida, the sun kills your eyes then you run over people, in NJ we get the winter to rest our eyes....even tho we have the worst drivers already lol imagine if they were in FL, woo wooooooooooo

amn that sucks monkey balls!

Pensacola's beaches are white. That is due either to the fact that we don't allow driving on our beaches, or because everytime a hurricane comes through, we lose a few more feet of beach, and a few more tons of sand.

Hmmm... sunbathing under overcast skies?

French?

Beach cops?

What the **** is wrong with all these people?

Florida is a silly place ;p

you can get burned under overcast skies...it sneaks up on you

i think they just went out to hit the french https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

damn luck https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

saw a marquee sign today: "boycott french fries, french toast"

It didn't say anything about boycotting french kissing, did it?

My sister was at the beach at the same time

she said she was about 20 feet from them

and it was the most horrific screams of pain she

ever herd.

Sucks I hear a law suit on the way.

The city mayor met the girls parents at the air port and everything

trying to smooth things over. I don't think it will work.

Well it could be worse i guess you could die in a night club fire. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

i've heard them called freedom fries and patriot fries so far.



It's pretty bad because before we fought the Germans we renamed everything german to something else like saurkraut was something else, all kinds of ****, it's rather scary if you think of it that way lol. we'd probably do the same with iraq but we only get oil from iraq and well oil isn't named after iraq so we cant exactly rename it as a silent protest.



kevin.

there are really no "beach" lanes on teh beach in miami. there are a few small lanes behind dunes so that the suv's can go around certain rocky areas, but nothing really designated. i lived in miami for a few years, and they were out there all the time.....



....

Running over people on the beach? That's something you never see on Baywatch.













During times of trouble, I just think to myself - WWHD? Then my worries go away as I know that Hasselhoff walks by my side if but in spirit alone.
