Greetings. Long time no write. Been a bit too cold to do videos from the car and I don't burn gas for that. Also training for a half marathon so workouts and sleep have a high priorty for me. Thanks for checking in though. If you're not following me on Rumble or Bitchute, I suggest you do as I do more videos than writing these days. Anyway onto the subject at hand.
Yesterday while driving home from work, Waze told me it would take an extraordinary amount of time to get home. As I travelled, I didn't run into the normal traffic and couldn't understand why there was such a long time. Then we hit the backup. Two lanes of stop and go traffic.
Waze showed a traffic cone and a few police on the map. I figured it was an accident with a lane closure. Nope. NYPD had set up a roadblock in order to catch people who had been avoiding tolls. Whether that be by obscuring their plates or being flagged as a person who owed.
As I sat in this traffic, unnecessarily, I thought about it. NYC will not honor a detainer for an illegal alien that it has captured who committed a crime. Yet, here I and others are, sitting on a road because NYC and NYS ain't giving up toll revenue. They shut down an entire road for this and have been doing so for a while.
Kind a lets you know where the priorities lay.
The resentment I felt was not so much about the tolls, I actually don't care that people try to avoid tolls as I am strongly against said tolls. I felt resentment because while I'm forced to play by the rules and have my shit in order, the same city and state will shield other scofflaws who shouldn't even be in the city or state.
There is a saying from I suppose is one of the founders, that when the law is not properly enforced, good people stop observing the law. Why? 'Cause they can clearly see others breaking it with the approval of the enforcers.
This is also the case, currently, with Don Lemon and his crew that broke a few federal laws when they invaded a church. I'm not fixated on Don but I don't understand how it's now Wednesday and none of the perps have been cuffed and perp walked.
Imagine I had robbed a store where I was caught on surveillance camera with a name tag on and plainly visible. Once identified I would have been arrested by now. That these individuals are walking around free, even after more than enough evidence for an arrest warrant, tells me that "law enforcement" is not serious in America and the "law abiding" are noticing this.
They are noticing the amount of fraud that has been uncovered in the last few months and they notice the lack of public consequences for those involved. And when they sit on a shut down highway so that the local PD can determine whether they are travelling with their vehicles properly tagged, they resent that.
A lot.
'Till next time.
