HIS ARROGANT ASS DESERVED EVERYTHING HE GOT. I HOPE HE SPENT A LITTLE TIME IN A CELL. 257thou? I forgot what toys the 1% have. Good to see him on the ground like a commoner would be.

Good chance he gets shot. Hope the cop is ok, slow moving car over your foot has to hurt like hell. I had my foot run over by a Gator in a parking garage and it hurt like hell, I can only imagine how much a whole car would hurt

It looked like the officer was writing him a ticket, or rather like he was going to leave a ticket on his windshield. So this guy appears and tries to drive away? While the cop is writing him a ticket?

If so, then that's pretty stupid!

If you read the description on YouTube, the reason he was getting the ticket was that he was parked in the valet zone. The valet had the keys, and he had the hotel's OK to be there. All he had to do was not be a douchebag and he could have beaten the ticket.

Assault on a police officer with what could be considered a deadly weapon. But wait, he can afford a platoon of lawyers. So they will plead it down to a parking ticket, which he will refuse to pay.

After reading up on him, he sounds like a first class asshole. He "announced" that he was leaving. Really? He's kind of Romney-ish.

On a side note, he was written up in Entrepreneur Magazine a while back, and I remember thinking how much I've grown to hate that mag, as much as I used to love it. It's now filled with arrogant twits like that guy, who think they own the world because they came up with an app. That mag has turned into the Jersey Shore of the biz publications. 99% of people featured are white guys in their 30s, with poor hygiene, and too much money. Sorry, just tired of the faux badass shit from these jerks.
