You've probably heard about "vision zero"; america is actually pursuing a "vision zero memory zero action zero" policy where politicians with zero insight into the problem with america's car culture or desire to change it tweet the same platitudes every month without actually doing anything

Vision zero in my town just wound up being some billboards blaming pedestrians for getting killed because they wore dark clothes.

Believe women.

Margaret Thatcher was pro-train.

Around this time, she gave her first Commons speech as a shadow transport minister and highlighted the need for investment in British Rail. She argued: "[...] if we build bigger and better roads, they would soon be saturated with more vehicles and we would be no nearer solving the problem."[69]

in my lovely town in the winter the snow plows cover all the sidewalks with 5' of snow and only carve a path large enough for a car to pass and loving nothing else and there's always these poor pedestrians that are forced to walk on these death streets where cars blast through at 500 miles per hour and there is literally nowhere to walk other than in the direct path of inevitability

Dude lit up someone for daring to even get mad at them for cutting them off. His defense was naturally, that he feared for his life, so he shot 11 rounds out his window and was ready to kill that other guy, and is probably now deaf.

The other car is pretty clearly the aggressor in that video and attacked the guy first, that doesnt make it okay or good to shoot all crazy like that, but if someone is attacking you, you should absolutely have every right to defend yourself.

The former police chief in the video calls the shooter's brake check "a de-escalation of what's to come." What do police think the word de-escalation means?

Oh no wonder the police go around shooting people, they just misunderstood the meaning of "de-escalation"

I feel like maybe a public policy of "if someone throws a water bottle at you, please feel free to fire off 11 bullets on a freeway in the name of self-defense" creates some perverse incentives.

Good point. 11 bullets is pretty limited, so let's make a note to encourage drivers to use high capacity magazines.

The shooter was the first to attack with their car by brake checking the victim after cutting them off.

Anyway, death to cars.

The fash in Canada have effectively brought Ottowa to a standstill by blocking the roads since Saturday. If our cities weren't so car dependent, this wouldn't be remotely possible. Seems very likely to see copycats in the US if the attackers aren't held accountable...

Would be a drat shame if something bad happened to all the dumb trucks.
