Lime Goes To Extreme Lengths To Stop Teens
From Driving Over Pride-Themed Crosswalk

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 6/11/2024 11:50:05 AM

Lime, a popular electric scooter and bike rental service, implemented a “no-go zone” around a pride-themed crosswalk in Washington after police arrested numerous teens for allegedly driving over it, the company told The National Desk. Cops arrested three teens June 5 on first-degree malicious mischief charges related to alleged vandalism of a crosswalk with a pride flag painted across it in Spokane, Washington, according to the Spokane Police Department. Officers noticed “widespread damage as black scuff marks consistent with scooter wheels were observed across the entirety of the mural,” the press release states.

Comments:

The rental scooters will shut down if they run over a pride painting in the street. Technology will shut them down, and must be walked.

But it’s not a hate crime if you burn the American flag, right?

I stopped drawing on sidewalks very young, in grade school. Also, never got upset with other kids leaving tracks on it. At that age l was completely aware it was a sidewalk and other people use it. I guess the Pride group never matured into grade school critical thinking skills.

If you don't want people to drive on your flag, don't paint it on the street! Painting the controversial pride flag on the street just invites burnouts and other road stunts to show peoples displeasure. Not everyone is proud of "pride". Would the pride crowd feel equally offended if there were a Thin Blue Line Flag or Don't Tread on Me flag painted on the street that was being defaced? Nope. They would say that the damage was justified due to the ideology represented by the flags.

Kids get arrested for riding over a symbol of sexual activities and it's a crime. But had the symbol been an American flag, that would be protected speech and a cause for 'progressives' to celebrate. Screw the 1st Amendment (merely a loose suggestion actually). Celebrate and protect deviations of sexual behavior is the new 1st amendment!

Payne was able to win the election because New Jersey’s deadline to run for Congress was in March, and Payne died in April.

The judge declared multiple statutes related to puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and surgeries to be unconstitutional. The law was aimed at preventing medical facilities from prescribing irreversible “gender-affirming” treatments to young children.

Only 19 percent of Biden voters say that “society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority,” compared to 59 percent of former President Donald Trump supporters and 39 percent of registered voters overall. The results come amid a singleness and loneliness epidemic among young people and as the United States continues to experience the lowest birth rate in a century.

In the most open-and-shut case since Al Capone was found guilty of failing to pay taxes on his gangster profits, a jury found Hunter Biden guilty on all three charges for lying on a gun purchase form in saying he was not addicted to drugs. The prosecution presented a mountain of evidence that Hunter committed the crimes, while Hunter’s defense team presented barely anything to rebut that evidence or otherwise exculpate him. Their Hail Mary strategy was “jury nullification” where an unethical jury allows its passion or prejudice to set free a defendant they know to be guilty. See, Simpson, Orenthal James.

On June 12, the Massachusetts House is expected to vote on a bill that would allow mothers to exchange their children for money—that is, engage in baby-selling—under the name of “parentage equality.” The “Parentage Equality” bill seeks to redefine parenthood. Parenthood is recognized on its natural biological basis, or in cases of adoption, justice for a child who has suffered loss by providing them with a safe, loving home. This bill redefines it on the basis of a “person’s intent to be a parent of a child.” In doing so, it strips all mention of mothers and fathers from parentage law, replacing these vital familial roles with gender-erased language.
