Carpool and bring enough folks to push?

[Minutemen]

Don’t tell them you ran out of gas!

So we’re now being punished for not purchasing a good. Granted, the person driving is an idiot for not gassing up the whip, but at the same time, if they don’t want to or can’t afford to and they run out of gas, how do you think they’re going to be able to afford a $100 traffic ticket?

It’s good to see people being held accountable for their decisions, when they do stupid things.

(....now if only the same were true here in Texas for Governor Perry)

My city has these special help vehicles that will be on the scene in minutes. They provide a gallon of gas and a battery jump. What I’ve noticed is who is using this service. Welfare queens. They’ll sit in the car chatting on their cell phones while the white female service lady pours in the gas and jumps their car for them. Meanwhile, traffic is backed up for blocks and everybody is inconvenienced. Also, a police cruiser sits behind them with his lights flashing.

Now let’s take a look at where the welfare queen is spending cash. The car is a POS that has never been cleaned or maintained even though some appear relatively new. But the queen herself has a cell phone, glitter nails, three pounds of makeup leather handbag, an incredible hairdo and very nice clothing. But she can’t be bothered with replacing a battery, filling the gas tank or putting air in the tires.

What they should do is call a tow truck and have the POS towed.

Let’s see. Obama and the libs have worsened the economy, eliminated jobs, driven up the price of gas, forced us to wait in lines of traffic due to stimulus and paying off his union thugs and we get penalized because maybe we don’t have the money for gas. And then they want to fine us. WTF?

[Ratman83]

How many of these cases are actually caused because someone sits in traffic for hours to move a mile or two than have the problem.

Not from the area so I am not sure if this is part of the problem, but I have seen this in other areas.

Appearing in a blue collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up, he denounced Republicans for driving the car of the nation’s economy into a ditch, then standing around “sipping on a slurpee” while he’s tried to push it out.

If such petty-ante oppression is happening in conservative Utah, God help those living in liberal hellholes like New York, California, and Massachusetts. I read a story recently where an 11 year old girl rescued an injured bird who was on the endangered species list. A Federal wildlife officer happened to find out about the girl's actions, and as a result, the mother received a fine of over $500.

I am increasingly persuaded that no one, certainly NONE of the Republican contenders for the White House, will be able to save this country from becoming a mammoth East Germany, albeit one with more creature comforts.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

This is how we have ended up with so many stupid laws.

Running out of gas is punishment enough.

Cripes. STOP PASSING MORE LAWS. In red state Utah no less.

Stop it!

[mbynack]

That was the law in Germany when I lived there. They figured it was your fault if you ran out of gas.
