Wonder how many of them vote
I don’t like higher tuition so I’m going to block traffic on the 880 Freeway by running across the other freeways… Maybe I’ll even get hurt jumping from the freeway to avoid custody. No. Nevermind. I’m a rational human being.
What is it about people in California (especially the Bay Area) thinking that a great solution to their grievances can be achieved by obstructing the civil liberties of other people? Oh, and if you’re going to do something illegal in means of a protest, you should be prepared to get arrested vs. jumping off a freeway and showing up in the ER (I’m hoping daddy has paid their insurance premium).
Blocking people in traffic doesn’t “raise awareness” or “wake people up,” it just pisses them off. When it happens with great regularity (I’m talking to YOU, San Francisco Bay Area), people often do the opposite of what you want… which is not caring about your cause because they see you as an annoyance.
California Stops
So I set up a video camera and recorded an intersection near my home for twenty minutes. Over the past few weeks, I’ve observed several people blowing through the sign and very few actually coming to a complete stop and I’d always thought “I should record that.” I would have though the presence of a video camera might make people modify their behavior. Nope. In the whole twenty minutes, only one car stopped completely. Here’s a video of some of the funner “California stops.”
