Just to add to the other comment… Mobile homes. There’s a reason why the poor and infirm live there. No structural integrity. Light up like a match. Little protection against any serious weather. Mobile homes are notorious for uping kill counts for natural disasters.
Could you remind us who was the Pope before Jesus?
Saint Peter or are you trying to put words in OPs mouth lol?
Yep, and yet the article says nothing close to it, and is described the same way every frustrated person dealing with blocked roads does when they panic and flee and eventually get hit with significant battery or accidental manslaughter charges. Unless their car started to get beat on and they tried breaking in, in which case, it ends up being self defense. Isn’t that how the charges against the dude who ran down a bunch of motorcyclicsts got free? He had his whole family with him too though iirc. I think it was this? but I swear it was denser and more in a city.
Exactly. Thank you.
I am fully willing to change my thought on the matter at the drop of a hat with new information. But the way the article reads is VERY different from every terrorist car attack we’ve seen in the USA in previous years.
The strikers were blocking an exit to the processing center on West Bristol Road, Bade said, when the incident took place.
The driver, who drove off after the incident, has not been located, Bade said.
UAW Region 1-D President Steve Dawes told MLive-The Flint Journal that the vehicle involved in the incident was dark in color, possibly an HHR or PT Cruiser.
He added that two of the five people hit were taken to a local hospital.
“It was uncalled for,” Dawes said. “These people are out here, you know these are my membership, and they’re out here doing a peaceful, legal demonstration.
“This is very serious and we’re going to be pushing this issue.”

No, they’re not. Quit watering down what terrorism means.
Terrorism is someone who specifically is trying to kill, maim, destroy, or significantly hurt people due to very narrow ideologies which are usually VERY political now.
Running people over because you can’t get to work isn’t one of them. That is attempted manslaughter if you hurt them bad enough, not a fucking terrorist.
Either you guys know way more about the incident than I do since you’re close to the police and already know it’s a Trumper who hates strikes and thought they were all gay black democrats, who potentially showed up specifically to hurt these people, or it was some asshole trying to get to work and got so manic he decided it’s better to maim or kill people than to get to work.
THEY, ARE NOT, THE SAME.
At least it’s your average frustrated person trying to get though and not a terrorist?
Which reminds me, tell you mom she still owes me money for the Uber.
Fwiw I’ve always found the suburbs kids on football teams to be a mix of the asshole republican preps and the right leaning poors.
Lacrosse players though… They are the creeeeeeeeaaaam of the crop when it comes to rich racist shitheads.
Thanks for the hot tip. I had no idea. I already had a duplicate username over on Lemmy.World so it’s not too hard of a jump. Even still 13 hours, 4 days, 16 day old posts being the top posts doesn’t bode well lol.

Sad !anime noises… I miss episode discussions.
What the hell is poor Frankie going to do without all the snowstorms in the Midwest?
Do certain medications which are are strong as some and worse than many illegal disqualify someone from owning a firearm? Wasn’t there pretty wide claims about Trump popping pills which would disqualify him from owning a firearm anyway?

The image lower down explains it plenty lol.
Is there a /c/oneorangebraincell yet?
The wintergatan marble machine is boring but I’m fascinated with it every time I watch and listen lol.
AACAB I can get behind lol. ACAB half the time is just straight up internet trolls and instigators. Meanwhile the same people love to espouse shit like how the wealthy are the real oppressors while ignoring most police are only firmly low-middle class. There are way more people getting into that job who just happened into it like most people in the world. While yes, the abusers and psychopaths are attracted to the job for the above, the separation of powers in places like that are wide. Just like they would be in most businesses. Let alone the real deal PTSD they have to deal with daily to weekly in som areas.
Any direct supervisors for teams that have pretty full automony know it’s impossible to track what they do constantly. So much of it is based on the trust system and good faith actors speaking out when they see something. Throw in some bystanders effect and benefit of the doubt for people who’d normally be good to you but a monster in the shadows… I’m not envious of police one bit, or the people trying to make change from the inside. Which is the only real way it’s going to happen despite internet tough guys espousing otherwise while refusing to pay taxes for shit like mental health services lol. Elected local/state politicians, DAs, also being the people who could make those changes. Also equally vilified.
It’s way more complicated than people give it credit for when you’re actually trying to make change. For most people trying to get by, best thing you can do is vote.
Maybe I’m too suburban but I’ve never seen staff get upset about being late by less than 15 minutes. Tbh I’ve never seen anyone even try to make an appointment still later than tha without just cancelling or pretending you never had one lol.
I’m not envious one bit about working in the healthcare industry. I’ve seen enough of it to stay well away from an absolutely necessary profession rife in red tape and leaches at the higher levels.
Very nice! I try to be as green as possible. Being poor contributes to that more than anything else lol.
Can’t even remember the last time I’ve had a classic slab of red meat that wasn’t ground already lol. Chicken is so much cheaper. I’m happy to report that dairy will be carbon neutral in the USA by 2050 too. Not separating calves from mom is becoming more and more popular too!
That tracks lol. There are good people everywhere, but sometimes you do walk into an area where everyone around you is just a giant PoS.
