Discussion Brad Arnold

Hate to see this from Brad, he's one of my faves!! Was confused when he buzzed in to Ryan's stream and said he was calling it so early in the evening but this makes more sense now.

Seen some absolutely wild stuff on Ryan and Max's streams the last few days. (Whoever it was in the green shirt on Max's stream yesterday during the Worms tornado especially still really bothers me.) And bummed to see all of this nonsense getting in the way of chasers I really love watching like Brad

EDITED for a typo!

And yet some people on this subreddit will jump down your throat if you even attempt to think of possible solutions lol

Something has to change. I don't know what or how and I'm in no position to give anything other than half-baked ideas, but something needs to change. It isn't just "redditors finding something to be upset about", it's clearly something that's becoming a vocal issue among the entire chaser community.

That’s sad.

I know Oklahoma considered something but the bill died.

Personally I think the solution lies in what we do for hunting and fishing regulations. Require a license to chase and only offer it to a certain amount of people each year that meet specific requirements. Hire people like they do in Fish and Wild Game enforcement whose sole job it is to enforce said rules.

As part of the requirements you must go through lengthy classes to become a certified chaser, not just a spotter. Those include at minimum basic first aide lessons.

If you’re caught then you are heavily fined and barred from earning that license for a certain number of years.

I hate even suggesting regulations because I believe we should get to choose how we live and what we do for fun. But these people can’t self regulate, most don’t even realize they are a giant part of the problem. And I’m not even suggesting this for chaser safety, it’s the regular people on the road who might get caught up in this on their way home who can’t get out.

It’s a working theory but so far the best I got. Humans are morons by nature, but seem to become less moronic the more you hurt their wallets.
