The pressure washer didn't create holes, it just expedited you finding them.

I can agree with your viewpoint here. I fully realize that the spirit of the item, and the letter of the item can vary drastically - especially considering some legislator’s, uh, imagination....if you will.

Now, let’s get something straight real fast. I said I didn’t have a problem with it. That’s not the same as…

But it’s not non-violent when people want to get by! The protesters seem to start beating up cars that try to get through.

And since I am self-employed, my boss is not terrorizing me.  My clients that I serve have expectations, and they don’t give a shit about whatever problem I have - it’s not their problem! 

What’s peaceful about plugging a road? I have seen plenty of times when people want to get through, those folks get violent and beat up people’s cars.

Thank you very little for the fuck-off as well. 

Blocking a private driveway or entrance or whatever is a different kettle of fish. Union strikers have done that for years, and frankly, that’s fine - it’s not a public thoroughfare.

I still don’t believe they should get a free pass for those either, because running them over is wrong too.  

So that actually happened in Hong Kong: Pro-democracy protesters blocked up arteries COMPLETELY - we are talking about hundreds of thousands (and actually, at its peak) up to 2 million protesters on the streets.

Well, that is a small problem. But if they are NOT protesting in the road, shouldn’t be a problem, right?

I mean, if someone hops a curb in a pickup and mows them down, that should still be manslaughter charges, as they were not....in....the....road.

Snooder,

Thank you for the well written rebuttal. I think that some of that you are reaching on a little bit. I didn’t see certain provisions you listed in the article. Do you by chance live in Florida and have more intrinsic knowledge of the bill?

To be fair, I can see some of these things occurring, as all…

I get where you’re coming from, but you miss a lot of important factors. One being that disrupting the status quo is a part of protesting. If you’re not being disruptive, you’re easy to ignore. Blocking roadways is a nonviolent means of being disruptive. The fact that you think it borders on terrorism means you either …

Nope, not a bad take. The article you linked to.....I disagree with. It sounds to me like these folks were playing it straight - not in the road, not rioting, simply protesting peaceably on grounds that their tax dollars paid for.

I would say that a lawyer could challenge that, and get their charges AND the law, and…

Here’s the the thing. This is just an open invitation for a person in a vehicle who doesn’t agree with said protestors to come and run them down, with zero responsibility.

Couldn’t have said it any better myself

Obviously unpopular take, but hear me out, and try to not flame the piss out of me. I’m happy to discuss, but don’t be a dick about it.

Anyways, this doesn’t change the fact in the slightest about your constitutionally protected right to protest. That’s actually termed “the right to peaceably assemble”. Peaceable…

For the young’ns here, the essence of that quote is attributed to the esteemed Peter Egan from a 1983 issue of Road & Track.

The plane was fresh off of an 18-year restoration and may never fly again.

Looking forward to all the fanboys pointing to Jalopnik’s coverage of this crash as evidence the site is hopelessly biased against Grumman.

But, which half?

I, for one, appreciate every government incentive that helps reduce the effects of global warming. C’mon folks. This will save at least half a penguin. Half a penguin!!!

While that may be true, most low income individuals/families don’t have a big enough tax bill to qualify for the full amount. 

I think more accurately, they realized they could charge $3,500 more for the car than they previously thought they could.
