How Many More People Must Die?
How many more crazy people armed with a ton and a half of sheet metal, plastic and glass have to attack our nations capitol before we wise up and realize that nowhere in the constitution are you guaranteed a right to transportation.Sure sure, we've heard all the arguments before... Cars don't drive into barricades, drivers drive into barricades. But anyone, even convicted felons can hop behind the wheel of 1, 2, even 3 ton metal projectiles free to wreak havoc upon innocents, all without so much as a background check.
Meanwhile...
9-year old Johnny Doe was expelled from Washington Elementary School for wearing an offensive T-Shirt...
In 2010 8,775 people were killed by firearms while more than 30,000, okay 32,885 were slaughtered by the dreaded automobile. Even worse... the majority of the guns used to kill those 8.775 people were purchased by people using DRIVER'S LICENSES as identification in the gun purchase... so indirectly, all 41,660 deaths were a result of our childish primitive fascination with shiny, wheely things. (Bear with me, I'm using liberal logic here).
NOW IS THE TIME TO DEMAND ACTION
We have to stop acting and living like it's the wild wild days of Route 66 and cast aside this monstrous metallic monster of mayhem like civilized people and start hoofing it.
Join us at the Armadillo Center for the Prevention of Automotive Violence and urge your elected representatives to ban these mid-life crisis bollard bashing behemoths from our public spaces.
STOP THE INSANITY
STOP THE EVIL
