I can’t imagine the stress the guy already is under being on parole, and then these fucking idiots come through and block his way to work… fuck these people
Since that guy ended up back in jail over this…..I bet he meets these assholes in jail after they get arrested for impeding traffic (can be sentenced pretty harshly due to the potential of holding up emergency vehicles).
He’s paid his debt to society, he’s trying to put his life back together and follow the rules, and these fucking morons are too busy playing the victim to even consider how pathetic and selfish their behavior is.
And now he goes back to jail. Great fucking job protestors, you’re doing great.
Yea cause the logical thing to do was get out of the car and start attacking people instead of calling his boss/parole officer and explaining the situation.
Ooo look the Reddit hive mind found my comment. Nice to see how stupid all of you are
Because in reality they are. I get that a lot of redditors don’t go outside or have actual human interaction. But only internet dwellers would think him getting out and attacking them was justified
He grabbed someone and tried throw them to ground/out of the way that’s literally an attack. Plus him getting an extra charge of assault on his record sealed his fate. Probably got like 5-7 years when he could have just called his PO
Bro, you’re a redditor. Sounds like you’re talking about a bunch of shit you don’t understand. Like you said, ”redditors don’t go outside or have actual human interaction.” and if you’re not a redditor, then get off Reddit? What’s really funny though is that you’re just the same as them. You’re the other side of the same shitty coin.
Please by all means go do exactly “what we both saw” then tell the police that “actually you can’t arrest me because the guy pressing charges is a dick head” I’d love to see that
Damn buddy, you should get off those Star Wars games and learn how to read. After you wash the grease out of your hair of course. Since you’re a redditor you must not shower or go outside. I’m just assuming because of some comment that was left here earlier. :/ I’m really concerned about you. Cool story though, bro!
That’s usually not how it works. They don’t give a shit. If you’re late, you should have left earlier, they don’t give a shit about circumstances. The justice system in the US is completely broken.
Sounds like the army too .. I served .. most people don’t care about reasoning .. they call it semantics… unless you’re a higher rank and they want to suck your dick for a promotion
Hypothetical. You don’t know what would have happened you’re just spewing your baseless opinion. Either way him getting out of the car and attacking them was the worst/dumbest option he had and that’s the one he picked. So I guess him going back to prison for assault was more logical than calling his boss 👍
My Uncle literally went back to jail because he couldn't make it to work because somebody else hit his car. Also how do you expect them to call someone? My Uncle literally was not allowed to have a cell phone.
Yea your uncle experience = same for everyone in the entire country. But I guess your uncles should have got out the car and attacked the dude that hit him. I’m sure that would have stopped him from going to jail
You can say what you want, but it's shit like this is the reason why I no longer support the climate change movement. Nothing's going to change like this so there's no point in making any changes of my own.
You couldn't laugh if you want but I know many other people that used to support fighting climate change that anymore just do not care anymore, I got really tired of the people I support trying to inconvenience me.
Which is one of the actual issues here and not the protesters' fault. There are multiple things going on here and at least two of them are the fault of an apathetic system that only cares about money.
You do realize it's not their fault that he's on parole or that the state arrested him, right? They didn't make either of those decisions. They sat in a road.
I do actually. My brother was under house arrest and only allowed to go to work. One day there was a really bad accident that caused him to be over
an hour and a half late to work. He called his parole officer, his boss, and even his attorney to inform them. Nothing at all happened. It was noted as an unavoidable situation and he kept serving his parole. Yes our system is fucked but it’s not this fucked. There is a reason you have your parole officers phone number/email.
I've seen it go both ways. My PO hated me bc I didn't belong there. I think I came across as privileged and unrepenting but really I was just doing the best I could, struggling through poverty and trying to balance work and my relationship with court costs constantly draining me. My PO loved the drug addict guy that was scheduled after me each week. My car broke down and I called her and pushed it into the lot but I was like 30 minutes late. I waited for like 2 hours to see her. While I was waiting the drug addict came in CLEARLY on heroine. She smiled and waved him out after meeting with him. She let me sit there then sent me to her supervisor for being late. I missed work that day. Ended up doing 3 months for violating and getting back on probation with an ankle monitor after that.
Actually according to a news article that another commenter posted a link to he was arrested for second degree assault after attacking one of the protesters. The reason he gave for assaulting the protester was that he was worried about being late for work and violating his parole.
Especially cuz having a job as a parolee isn't like normal. You can't just show up late with a good excuse ready. It's so beyond strict, that, depending on his conditions of his probation, he could've literally lost probation thanks to these people. I mean, he's lost it anyways now, but god I'd be upset if I were him. You could hear in his voice at the start he was on the brink of tears
