The same can be said for pretty much any winter city. You are not alone.

The best is having to report the steel plate every two weeks because its moved from the foot deep hole it was supposed to cover.

Another secret is that either way, the city won't do jack-shit.

I live in Chicago. The way we drive to avoid potholes, you'd think we're all drunks behind the wheel. This guy is my new hero.

To be honest, the "properly repaired by professionals" potholes tend wear away pretty damn fast. I have a basketball sized pothole directly in front of my house which is on a very busy street. Every few months I have to report it because the patch job these "professionals" do will wear away within a matter of weeks.

I take it you don't live in Chicago because if you did you would know that in some parts of the city. The potholes have been neglected for +10 years in some areas. But the downtown area gets new flowers planted every spring. Along with the $24 million Congress Parkway Renovation which isn't even a major part of…

What I have learned from years of watching Maury Povich episodes is that when someone says they are more than 100% sure of something, the chances that it is a lie increase as the percentage increases. Those who are really telling the truth will say they are "100% sure." The liars say things like "A million percent…

I absolutely believe that men who do these things (let rapists off with no jail time, act as apologists for rapists) have either raped in the past, or sympathize with that kind of think and may rape in the future. I am convinced of it.

I'm truly sorry that your completely rational comment earned you the honor of being called a rape enabling bigot by this hysterical troll.

Hey asshole, this woman went to the police and this is the result, because the judge is a monster. Therefore, it discourages rape victims from going to the police in the first place. Why don't victims go to the police? Because the conviction rate is fucking atrocious, the sentences are pointless, and the system treats…

Wow, man, that was just so beautiful. Have you rehearsed typing all of that out before?

In this woman's position, I would probably have been held in contempt of court or something after telling the judge to fuck off and I hope someone shoots him outside the courthouse if he tried to tell me to *forgive* anyone for anything.

There's a special place reserved in hell for a number of Marion County judges - past and present. My mom actually left her job at CPS because of the oh-so-asshole-y Judge Payne. She saw him when we were out to dinner one night and walked over and told him he could go fuck himself. I think that was one of the best days…

The prison system there is ridiculously, ridiculously over-crowded.

He will never, ever serve a day, but this way they can say they sentenced him to twelve years and it still shows up on the records as being "hard on crime."

Having spent an extensive amount of time in Marion County, Indiana? I know this judge's name, and this does not surprise me in the least.

She's "lucky" he didn't turn it around to make it her fault, somehow.

Let's all bookmark this for the next time some MRA asks, "why didn't she just go to the police?"

And if it's standard operating procedure, that makes it OK?

The point is that the presentation above is actually telling people not to write the exact words "this is a safety and security issue". It's more concerned with what people shouldn't write than what they should.

It's almost like you can say both!

I was looking for something to illustrate a bad safety management system. Thanks!
