Gosh. If I was so afraid someone might kill me the last thing I would do is provoke them further and make them do what I want. I would get as far away as I could and then call the police. I think we both know she wasn’t afraid. She wanted to flex being a white lady to tell someone else what to do. And she didn’t like being told off. The guy is a jerk but the lady was clearly on a power trip. She absolutely knew she was in zero danger. |
Isn't it swell that you know exactly what you would do in circumstances you were not in. |
Got it. Double points it is. |
As the confrontation unfolded, a guy on a bike whizzed right past her. |
+1 It’s a confrontation between the worst elements of DC. Basically a proxy battle between Trayvon White and Nadeau/Allen. |
I absolutely know that if I was afraid for my life, I wouldn’t spend time trying to make the strange man I was afraid of bend to my demands. Yes, I can say with absolute certainty that I would disengage if I was afraid for my life. You would have to be on meth not to! And if my child was with me the threshold for disengaging in a dangerous situation is even lower. The only other option is that she was angry and she knew that she was in zero danger. She wanted to manufacture outrage and she succeeded. Good for her. |
Same. I can’t see how anyone could defend him. Awful. |
“minorly famous”? As in someone who spends their time chasing clout on social media from an extremely small group of people. |
Who has defended him? Pretty sure the conclusion from normal people is that he’s an antisemite and that she’s annoying. Not a lot of controversy here. |
Yes I know it is not legal to block a portion of the bike lane like the man AND I find it funny because bikers break the law all the time. I find it hilarious... I feel like it's an Onion article. |
Nobody is defending him. It’s just kind of funny to see the worst elements of DC society clash. Bike lane Karen and SUV a**hole face off over who has a better claim to street space. It’s so stupid, it’s funny in the way only two idiots can be. |
Right? So it’s fine for him to say her life doesn’t matter? |
I understand being overly prudent when you are taking a child on a very busy street and she thought she could not fit in the portion of the bike land that was still available to her. In Chicago the bike lane was blocked and it made her go into traffic, this bike lane is not completely blocked but still she felt it was blocked enough. and I get the guy is an a-hole but still. |
How is anti-semitism funny? |
Why is the biker biking towards the traffic? Real biking question, I thought bikers were supposed to bike with the traffic. |
