Scooter rider Killed in Italy for not wearing helmet

[OB_Cisco San Jose]

A 17yr old scooter rider was shot in Italy for not wearing a helmet.This is the new 4 month old mandatory helmet law pushed on the riders in Italy.The cop was arrested. The news said that the boy had many helmet tickets since the law took affect and he was shot while running from a check point. I hope the CHP and cops in California don't shoot you for the same thing!!!!!!!!! Info on www.americanmotor.com

Okay, now that is to crazy. That was way to extreme a response for a guy on a scooter just because he refused to wear a helmet.

I bet you everyone else wears their helmet!!


While I don't condone the action I bet it gets the point across!!

(and the cop was arrested)

So apparently the officials thought it was a bit extreme as well.
