[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the impact of lax public safety and everyone trying to highjack it for a pet agenda.

3 decent, hardworking men, with their lives ahead of them, who were supporting families, are now dead. They came to the US to pursue opportunities and contributed in a positive way. They were POC.

The arguments against basic public safety are BS. The Council has disincentivized traffic stops and MoCo is considering banning most.

THIS is the human toll in service of ideology. And use of race and poverty IS BS. Poor, hardworking, good people of color are the primary VICTIMS of the criminals. [/quote]

This happened on National Park Service road in DC, why are you bringing up Montgomery County?[/quote]

Because, [b]even as a liberal,[/b]  i can see that “woke” progressive ideology has translated into policy like this (allowing speeders with $12k speeding tickets not to lose their license and keep driving dangerously). That ideology is becoming adopted on a nation wide scale in order to promote more equitable outcomes. Including in MoCo county. Therefore, it’s not unrelated to mention MoCo.

Again, this car deaths incident clearly shows the issue and that is of how the city council is weighing the potential human toll of car accidents from dangerous drivers keeping their licenses because they city won’t rescind them even with $12k in speeding tickets vs. the disproportionate socioeconomic burden someone from a disadvantaged community may experience if they lost their license.

Simply put, this is a basically cost benefit analysis being weighed by our council members of poor people driving dangerously keeping the ability to drive their cars vs. everyone else having to live with them if they drive dangerously and no matter how dangerously. But sure you can plug your wish for more buses etc. That’s super helpful.[/quote]

No, you're not. Or maybe you were in, like, 1992. But now it's 2023. Just like if Abraham Lincoln or Dwight Eisenhower or even Ronald Reagan communicated from the Great Beyond to say they were Republicans.[/quote]
