In the words of Patty Hearst back in the days when she was known as “Tanya”.....”Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the lives of the people.”

A fiery horse
with a speed of light,
A cloud of dust,
and a hearty
“Hi-Yo,
Silver!”

To: Does so
Even in modern times armed resistance to bureaucratic tyranny is occasionally effective

There is a traffic light in Fulton county just over the border from Cobb county that is on a major thoroughfare. It was set so that the backup was about the same in all directions. Then some traffic engineer* in Fulton discovered that it had been hacked away from the Fulton county's settings (which originally gave the road in Fulton about 2.5 minutes of green to the Cobb county side's 15 seconds of green) and reset it to the value determined by the traffic engineers. This immediately resulted in a mile backup on the Cobb side in morning rush hours and no delays at all in the Fulton side. The Cobb commuters were furious and complained. Fulton basically said tough sh!t these are the values our traffic department determined set and we don't care. This went on for a week or so. Using other roads was pretty much our of the question because this was one of the few highways with a bridge across the river. Then mysteriously the light control box was discovered to have been destroyed by a couple of rifle rounds. Amazingingly, the Fulton county traffic department decided to "restudy" the intersection and decided that the light should be set about the way it was hacked in the first place.

A few more destroyed red light cameras/speed vans might go a long way to eliminating this form of automated driver shakedown/revenue enhancement

*traffic engineer = government employee whose responsibility is to locate and set traffic control devices to maximally impede the flow of traffic

“Getum up Scooter!” tell me what that’s from...serially, I think that it’s a darn shame that these Politicians lost their pocket-fillers.

What a shame.

Burning down a barn, now that’s just wrong.

Hopefully nothing of value was lost.

Oddly enough my personal hopes are the opposite.

Agreed
