Its interesting what you were saying in the other thread about protestors on the highway. It seems the people who are upset with you think highway means city streets, like the comment about running over jaywalkers. Yet you specifically calle dout highway and even spelled it out in one post.
Where I live, its illegal to be on a highway. There is no manner for the police to shut a highway down for a protest.
There are ways for people / police to do that on a city street just not a highway.
There is a big difference between trying to stop from 10MPH on a city street in traffic where traffic lights are expected and used and being on a highway going 70 MPH with no expectation of any stop whatsoever until you merge off the highway.
I’ve come to accept these people are grasping at straws and are trying to run me out of these forums by generating a legion of enemies against me with their hysteria.
But it is really frightening how vindictive they have become. If they only used simple proofreading.
But I appreciate someone actually used their head and paid attention.
I like u so I’m not going to troll you like I do Frostera. But people have been running protestors over on more than just highways.
Additionally, when there’s a protest that goes onto the highway, the road gets shut down entirely including the onramps.
What Frostera is referring to is the case in Seattle when a protestor was ran over. In that scenario, the protestors and the police had blocked off the onramps and shut the highway down. The person who ran the protestor over intentionally went around the blockade by going up an offramp.
First I dont wanna troll or get people mad so I will keep it short.
I understand that. I am old enough to remember Reginald Denny (if you dont know who he is, please look it up). Similar things have happened recently. If people start beating on my car, I very easily could see myself doing the same.
This is why I said what I said. It seems like its like you say in CA. In my state, you cant do that - its illegal to protest on a highway because of the danger involved for everyone. SO there is no closing the entrance ramps - it would be people walking on the highway and illegally expecting cars to stop.
Personally IDC what you do in the bedroom and it’s not my business, and it’s not anyone’s business for it to have to be said to the heavens 24/7.
I do think companies don’t understand how to do inclusion properly, at least American ones, Japan had been doing that for decades. The backlash is being caused by those who think it’s an attempt at brownie points, which I can accuse some companies of, but honestly, we already have LGBT characters in the world of fantasy that are loved by nearly everyone
In some states, it’s legal now, because protestors have blocked police and Emergency medical transportation, effectively causing people to die. The laws allowing people to be run over for blocking traffic are not “if you feel like it” you have to warn them.
So far, from what I can travel to, frostera said this
Now, this isn’t out of the ordinary on the GD forums. People think other people are awful. people think I’m awful. Then we have this quote from someone in response.
Frostera is indeed outspoken, but I can’t imagine her wanting to commit violence without provocation. However, the people that are labeled as “Protestors” have become synonymous with Antifa and BLM, both of which have a plummeting support rating because of the damages done.
Then Frostera said this:
She’s right, and i made a statement about this without making it this far. If someone is driving at night, and cant see protestors (Because they’re all wearing black clothes) It’s either you crashing into an obstacle and killing yourself or them. I hate to say it, but she’s not in the wrong here, especially if the laws allow it. And she not once said she’d want to do it.
Then we have this response:
to which was responded with
Read the last part there. She would do it to AVOID DEATH. She not once said she’d enjoy it, or look to do it. The state gives her leeway for this to avoid crashing.
Then this response:
This is an extremely inflamatory response, dismissing the context of what she said, implying she would be out to Murder someone. Absolutely apalling.
Then, we have this response here.
There’s nothing wrong here. The bowling pin comment makes me tilt my head a bit, but considering how you’ve all been treating her, being brash is acceptable. We are supposed to stop for law enforcement directing traffic. And she said she’d sound the horn, providing that she is approaching. People out to kill don’t do warnings.
When you people said that “she’d run people over for protesting” my assumption was that you guys meant that she would do it intentionally, without warning, disregarding the law, out-for-blood.
I dunno, if I saw someone protesting on the freeway I’d probably stop. Or it’d be shut down (see other comments).
Doesn’t seem too difficult to just hit your brake pedal and not murder someone? But I guess that’s hard for some people who think their commute is more important than human lives
Also if you’re referring to what happened in Seattle, the police department were the ones blocking the emergency vehicles.
Context is important! So is basic human decency of hitting your brake to save someone’s life.
