“Boulder police are investigating the traffic signs as criminal tampering.”

“I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones, but there’s probably, again, a few more appropriate ways about getting that message out.”

I’d love if they implemented whatever appropriate ways they have… then again they said appropriate, not effective.

    “where were the parents”

    Oooh, that grinds my gears. We all know helicopter parenting is harmful for children, but people freak out whenever kids are outside without a helicopter parent. It reminds me of the mother who was arrested for letting their 10 year old be outside unsupervised (cops said it wasn’t safe for the kid to be outside on their own)

      Then those are the same people whining that kids are on their phones all day and never get exercise or go outside like “back in our day” 🙄

        These people weather intentionally or not are just advocates for Human suffering. The more this goes on and the more blatant it becomes the less inclined I am to believe that they’re useful idiots, rather that they are willing accomplices.

        On so many levels everything about our society needs to be burnt out. No one should tolerate our openly sadistic society.

      Like life in general, there has to be a balance.

      You can be not a helicopter while also teaching your kids not to go into the street.
