Man found the stoplight cameras were activated during yellow lights and decided to cut the wires of it.

Florida Man: Chaotic evil.
New York Man: Chaotic good.

Holy shit. Nah dude look up the entire story, it’s INSANE.

The dude got arrested once before this for using a painter’s extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didn’t cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first time–which he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citations–the yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.

When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriff’s Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-.

When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in America’s flat out fucking ballsiest “fuck you” to the gubmint I’ve ever heard of.

And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guy–his name is Stephen Ruth by the way–started GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!

As a final insult to injury, Ruth pointed out that the VAST majority of the cameras were found SPECIFICALLY in lower-to-middle-class neighborhoods. As well, the victims of these rigged stoplights tried to go to the local news station to talk about the deaths of their family members that occurred from the rigging. Aaaand… The local station, “News12″, never aired their interviews.

Remember how I said that, after cutting the cables and calling the local news station, Ruth was arrested because of pressure from politicians? Get this: News12 is actually owned by CableVision, who PROVIDES INTERNET SERVICE TO THE CAMERAS. 

Whereas mister Ruth was only trying to help people and save lives, he’s been caught up in a full-blown fucking government conspiracy that’s out for his blood. This guy isn’t Robin Hood, he makes Robin Hood look like a -CHUMP-.

the cool thing about having an idiot alt right supporting brother is when he gets mad over dumb shit my sister and i go “It’s concerning how such a small thing triggers such a strong reaction from you.” in the family groupchat and he’ll see the word “trigger” in relation to him and go fucking nuclear

the downside about having such a dipshit brother is literally every thing else about him

case in point: he’s angry about Stranger because she knocked over a glass he left on the counter overnight and said if we don’t find her owner by tomorrow he’ll throw her out the window.

I went “It’s concerning how something so small triggers such a strong reaction from you. Stranger is a kitten, and we’ve only had her for a few days. Maybe you should calm down before threatening violence to a fucking kitten.” 

This escalated his anger, and he started texting back how he won’t really hurt her, but he doesn’t want her to track litter everywhere. My sister responded “Maybe you can keep your door closed while she stays with her so it’s a safe space away from cat hair and kitty litter.”

We heard him yell from upstairs and he turned off his phone. 

this is god tier trolling, and i’m in genuine awe of it

My husband gets such a kick out of referring to old white people as “special snowflakes” in arguments.

So I just started my short story writing class! These are dialogue tips

“Actually, I’m highly logical, which allows me to look past the extraneous detail and perceive clearly that which others overlook.”

“Keep exposition out of dialogue.”

Hermione failed there as well.

To be fair, that was a film-only addition, So the blame goes to either Steve Kloves or Emma Watson (since it’s rumoured that she wrote that line).

The year is 2015, and you still have to explain to adult men AND women that there’s no such thing as a “tight” or “loose” vagina, because it’s a muscle that expands and contracts depending on a variety of reasons. Or that a woman does not pee out of her vagina. Or that reaching an orgasm during sexual assault does not mean the person enjoyed it. Or that abortion is not the destruction of a fetus, but is of a clump of cells. That the length of a penis has NO relevance to the ability to preform well sexually, since the average vagina is only 3-4 inches long. That pubic hair is not unsanitary or gross, it actually helps protect the sex organs against bacteria, and shaving actually increases chance of infection, abscesses and rashes. But no, we don’t need comprehensive sex ed in America, we’re doing fine!

Protect Ron Weasley at all costs

wordswehavesaidworld:

So I know this blog is 90% Flarrow posts, but I do have an undying love for HP. Let me be clear: Ron Weasley is a character I enjoy, but if asked when first reading the books, I wouldn’t have said he was my absolute favorite. My favorite out of the trio maybe, but like most people I loved both Fred and George for their jokes and their rapport with each other, I loved Hagrid for his selfless gentleness, I loved Sirius for his tragic backstory and his desperate attempts to reconnect with Harry. 

But after watching all the movies and seeing Ron’s character degraded over and over again – relegated to sidekick or even background status – it made me realize how much all those missing moments, those jokes and near-constant support for his friends and those times of real failure and real triumph meant.

Ron is a rock, in the series. He anchors Harry into the Wizarding World, both via his extensive knowledge of it and his inclusion of Harry into his family. He also holds Harry and Hermione together. Yes, you read that right. When Ron is around, Harry and Hermione laugh and truly enjoy each other’s company. When he isn’t, they don’t. They’re keenly aware of and feel his absence, and it makes both of them miserable. Hermione is either desperately trying to get Harry and Ron to make up like in GOF or she is sobbing herself to sleep like in DH, while Harry is either quietly stewing in misery in the first instance or unable to console his other friend in the second. They’re not dancing around together in a tent, Kloves.

But that’s what these movies do. They seek to show the viewer that Ron is superfluous,that he isn’t necessary to the Trio or even to the story. He’s cheap, unfunny comic relief, where we laugh at him rather than with him. And whatever ship you support, the constant deletion or worse giving away of his lines to others is damaging to his character and to the characters who are given those lines. For people who identify with Ron, they are told he and they are insignificant, that they aren’t heroes. For people who identify with say Hermione, they are told that she is a paradigm of perfection, an unreachable ideal it would be impossible to aspire to.

So when I say “protect Ron Weasley”, I mean protect him, protect his character, the integrity of those beloved books he is such a part of, and protect the world of Harry Potter that so many seek comfort and strength from. Protect the King.

THIS! ALL OF THIS!

me: *takes deep breath*

me: I lo-

anyone who has ever spent five seconds around me, ever: Yes, we know you love Ron Weasley. We know. You freaking love Ron Weasley. He is the light of your life; your precious cinnamon roll. WE GET IT. Okay. We know this. You love him with every fibre of your being. YOU FREAKING LOVE HIM. Yes, we’re aware the movies didn’t do justice to his character. Yes, we’re aware, you just love him so much. WE KNOW. You love Ron Weasley so much, okay, we get it. RON WEASLEY IS YOUR CHILD. YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH. WE GET IT OKAY. WE GET IT.

another horrible misuse of ronald weasley in the films that i just now realized: in the book!epilogue ron is making 90 dad jokes a minute and is cute and funny and obviously confident with himself and his place in the world (it’s me, i’m extremely famous). compare to the movie!epilogue, where ron … is there? he smiles once i think? and he’s like only halfway in the final shot of the movie? what the fuck yates/kloves

ronaldswheezy:

and here we see ron weasley being reduced to background noise yet again

-heavy sigh-

The film version of the epilogue is awful on so many levels. Like, a couple of edits, and you wouldn’t even know Ron was there. Did he even have any lines? That is not a good use of your Rupert Grint, Yates and Kloves; shame on you!

headcanonsandmore:

I kind-of get the feeling that Harry would be incredibly flattered if he found out about the Rarry/Harron pairing. Ron would probably burst out laughing. 

This fits into the “Did Rita Skeeter write this ship?” headcanon genre. I’m just imagining Hermione reading the morning paper. “Oh, this is new, Ron! Turns out you’re having an affair with Harry this week!”

Ginny says she knew it, and tells Harry he’d better do right by her brother or she’ll leave him for someone different next time, and not just Luna again.

Agreed.
