Someone needs to get this on jalopnik for a public shaming.
For driving like that , running stop sign etc.. I don't care who they are.. They should have been arrested.. And then have their asses beaten .
Very sad to see this. I understand the need to push the car to see what it can do - but, not in a neighborhood. On an open stretch of wide highway or, even better, a track would be better. This assumes, of course, you have the proper training. If I were lucky enough to have the resources to purchase a super / hyper car, I would spend the money on appropriate training. If this was flying, you would need a high-performance rating to fly a fast airplane. And that is not easy to get - takes many hours of training and certification. Sometimes I wish the Feds would driver's licensing away from the states and regulate it like they do airplanes.
Danged oil money, it really makes idiots out of people. Except for Jed Clampett: he never changed. Never saw him driving his flivver like a coked up pimp in Beverly Hills.
Showing the Video on LA news stations now..... Also showed a neighbor trying to interview/film the perp, who started screaming "F" America, told guy to get off his Property and threw a cig at him.....
Already done: LaFerrari Asshat Who Terrorized A Beverly Hills Neighborhood Claims 'Diplomatic Immunity'
Can someone bring that link over?? I have been thinking about this, and I will only say, that recent events have not been kind to a driver hitting a small child, in a neighborhood. Once removed from the car it could be fatal, no matter who they are. I recall as a child some guy speeding down my street. A neighbor gardening in his yard turned around and with PERFECT timing, threw his shovel thru the air...........it went right thru the windshield. Impressive.......
I haven't seen the video, but the Jalopnik post claims he also claims diplomatic immunity and says he could have the questioner killed with impunity. Quite the diplomat they have there representing their country... supposedly Qatar, if reports are accurate.
I'd be embarrassed if that was my child/family member...but these high functioning retards are probably instagramming/snapchatting/tweeting their news coverage to all of their friends/family as if it's something to be proud of. Beat your children, folks.

So get this, in an attempted interview with the perpetrator : “He told me verbatim, ‘I could have you killed and get away with it,’” Rogers said. “I told him, ‘the press is allowed to be here on the sidewalk on a public street.’ He said, ‘(Expletive) America’ and threw a cigarette at me.” Sounds like he's inviting a little street justice here. These guys are absolute idiots in that they clearly showed everyone where they are (700 block of North Walden Drive) and are spouting off with anti-american above the law rehtoric about how they can "kill and get away with it." Hmmm... so can a lot of LA folks that I'm sure can "drive by" their residence.
Diplomatic immunity doesn't prevent the US from deporting these guys and denying them future entry. That's what needs to happen before they kill someone.
This loser is giving Muslims more of a bad name than he is Ferrari owners. One can only hope the story gets national coverage. How sweet it would be to flick a cigrarette at him as he enters LAX enroute to his homeland, recalled by an angry potentate. He says crap like that in the USA and expects to slither off without a care?
I want to watch a video of someone dragging his axx out of that car and beating him to a pulp and then say how are you enjoying your immunity. Keep trash like this out of the country.
