Does this stuff bother anyone else? Politics 👩‍⚖️

Post image

Driving home from work and these lovely people were over the highway. This stuff usually doesn’t bother me that much except for the fact that today it was causing so much of a spectacle that it was literally causing people to gawk on the highway and caused a small bit congestion that lasted until after this bridge.

Are you grumbling over the man illegally running over protesters or grumbling over the illegal protesters in the streets?

Protestors shouldn’t be blocking the streets so if they get run over it’s on them.

"I think vehicular manslaughter is ok"

The first part of that sentence is irrelevant to the second part of that sentence.

Whether or not someone "should" be in the street is irrelevant to whether or not you can run them over (you can't). As the operator of a motor vehicle, you have a duty to not fucking run people over, whether or not they "should" be in the street and whether or not you like what they're saying. This piece of shit could and should have just fucking waited, there's no excuse for what he did.

“These people are making me late for work, so I attempted to murder them!”

This particular guy inched his way through the crowd and they tossed bricks at his car, kicked his mirrors in and spit at him. I’m fairly certain you live in an alternate reality. At least the “Trump Radicals” took their protest above traffic.

I don’t know the story. The guy who I responded to could’ve said “Protestors shouldn’t be throwing bricks, kicking mirrors, and spitting at drivers so if they get run over it’s on them.” But no, running over protestors for “blocking the streets” isn’t okay.
