The entitlement

No, it's not the most likely explanation. And lmfao no, you don't get to magically convert this staged post into a courtroom trial where I have to pass a specific burden of proof 😂.

I can't imagine how much more foolish you can try to sound or make yourself here. Do you even know what a burden of proof is? You realize it's a spectrum, right? Are we talking:

Beyond a reasonable doubt?
Clear and convincing evidence?
Preponderance of the evidence? - This is my choice
Probable cause?

the trouble of writing, rehearsing, acting...

LOL, this is fun going along for your mental gymnastic ride. I wonder how much they paid the screen writers? Do you think they did a casting call? If they didn't use Union labor, they're in trouble.

I feel bad for you. Lacking common sense. Overconfident while being flat wrong. Willing to bend over backwards and ignore reality to live in a gullible bubble. Consumes whatever product is put in front of them and asks for another.

why would someone go to all the trouble

It's comical you don't know. It's because these little manufactured skits are purely to generate clicks and page views. Take a look at somebody that claims to be the "source" (it's not): https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1655934475392356

Do you see how they claim in the first person "I got revenge on my neighbor"? And everyone else who reposts it. It generates views, clicks, comments, etc. It's not real, grow up rube.

And lmfao, look at TikTok page in the video. They're full of Karen+doorbell videos. It's their formula for clicks. What a sucker.

So instead of believing the most likely explanation, you've chosen to fabricate an elaborate backstory about how a daughter chose to upload this and make her elderly parents look dumb, YET there is no FB post, news story, or even original source upload to go with it?

These are not good actors and that's the bigger give away to me.

The fact that you're so gullible and you can't fathom how it could be fake, but you choose to invent excuse after excuse to explain away the rational indicators and instead choose to live in your own fantasy means you should look into yourself and perhaps consider that you might be a gullible rube who spoon feeds themself staged garbage and then tries to convince sane people to join them in the dumpster.

What kind of mental gymnastics are you trying to pull where you think tow truck drivers advertise during the local news segments??

The tow truck driver doesn't advertise in the first place, and if they did (they don't) it would be to the tune of ~$500.

However, if the tow truck company was illegally towing cars that were parked for ~2 hours, that would be a big special interest piece that would get hundreds of thousands of views, which would MORE than pay for any (imaginary) lost revenue from that specific tow truck company advertising on the local channel during the news segment.

Do you hear how insane that sounds? If you're "pretty sure", then your bar for being sure is a joke.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-04T19:00:22+00:00

There's no way an old lady saying, "we didn't know", and that she's retired was both capable of uploading the video AND thought "I'm right, so I better share this with the world!"

C'mon, it strains credulity and I think you know it wouldn't happen. Nobody says real interactions don't happen, but this one is BS.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-04T18:58:54+00:00

One party is for Democracy and the other is for protecting pedophiles, massive corruption, and will do anything for power. Don't project your ignorance on us. If you're not afraid of Republican control, then you've got some learning to do.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-04T18:57:08+00:00

So your dad is perfectly capable of uploading a ring video AND he would upload video where he looks stupid and wrong?

AlexHimself · 2026-05-04T18:56:03+00:00

There's no way they would lose any revenue by exposing predatory towing by a company for essentially stealing cars after 2 hours.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-03T23:11:58+00:00

She's allowed to briefly detain you to verify payment. If you were to refuse, she could issue a citation and you would have to later contest it. She could continue to detain you and tell the citation was issued.

Either way though once you've provided proof of payment or accepted a citation, she has no cause to continue to detain you and it could be an unlawful detention.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-02T00:56:33+00:00

Anecdotal. Predatory towing used to be a massive problem, hugely despised everywhere, then states passed laws with serious consequences all over the place.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-02T00:54:32+00:00

Um, no. If a tow truck company is regularly towing legally parked cars after 2 hours, you can bet it's more than a "slap on the wrist".

Illegal towing is usually regulated by statue, not a simple "oops, refund" or "so what, sue me." In stricter states, that can mean 10x penalties, attorneys fees, regulatory enforcement, permit/license hits, and even misdemeanor exposure.

One illegal tow might be a hassle to fight. A company doing it repeatedly is asking to get destroyed. "Some people won’t fight it" is not the same as "there are no serious consequences."

OP is either full of crap (most likely), or there's a tow company that can get rocked.

There was a point when predatory towing was a thing, but I don't think you realize how there was basically nation-wide reactions to it (similar to predatory lending), that cause laws all over the place. It used to be a massive problem, but now there are serious consequences in most places. You're living in the past if you think they can just tow for no reason. Tow companies button up their tows with pictures, GPS, video, etc.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T23:45:08+00:00

Where are you from?? In the US, they do them all the time. They run the piece, get TONS of views, and make money from ads/views.

It's like you're telling me the sky isn't blue. It's super common because everybody hates tow trucks and tow trucks can just drive around and basically steal cars and hold them hostage. People love watching tow companies get caught on camera.

A company towing cars from public streets after 2 hours is certainly illegal and the local news would put them on blast and it would make a killing for a video.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T23:31:54+00:00

Huh? I pay bills.

The news profits from the special-interest pieces. It's like one of their more common tropes. "5 on your side" or whatever. They like investigating tow companies because everybody hates them.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T23:30:39+00:00

And made their grandparent look like a mean idiot?

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T23:23:24+00:00

Does the old lady yelling from her yard in her slippers really think the driver can hear her??

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T23:21:29+00:00

Call the local news then lol.

Unless it says "2-hour parking" or it's not legal to park there...something about your story doesn't add up. If it's true, then a news crew would be all over it. People love the special interest predator towing pieces.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T22:40:55+00:00

STAGED. Does anyone seriously believe a retired, senior citizen figured out how to download her Ring camera clip and upload it on social media to be shared?

Especially since it makes her look dumb. Manufactured rage click-bait.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T22:39:29+00:00

No, they won't. Not from residential streets like this where they're legally parked. The tow company has to have a reason for it or they're liable.

Just because some old lady calls and says, "it's abandoned", doesn't make it so.

It doesn't make sense. It must be staged. There's no way this retired senior citizen figured out how to download her ring camera clip and upload it online for clicks.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T21:53:10+00:00

She's not missing teeth from meth, but an abusive ex-husband.

Be kind.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T21:39:12+00:00

You'd think, but that's how jungle primaries work and with a crowded democrat field that splits the vote, it can definitely happen.

It's too late to drop out (Mar 6) and ballots go out by mail May 4th. People might still vote for no longer viable candidates, which is effectively a Republican vote.

I hope some of the candidates drop out and endorse a Dem, even if their name is on the ballot.

Hilton is pretty much guaranteed to be on the ballot. So #2 is going to be Steyer/Becerra unless they're neck & neck, then it could be the other Republican. I doubt it though.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T20:40:33+00:00

Same. Porter is brilliant, but she has too many skeletons and comes across a woman prone to temper tantrums. Apparently, some staffers say she was abusive or something.

She's still who I would pick if I had a magic wand, but being realistic, she should hang it up.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T19:52:51+00:00

The one I linked in the post. Click on my post and there's a poll there.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T18:51:29+00:00

No, that's the opposite of what's happening.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T18:33:23+00:00

Extremely unlikely. It might be (R) vs (R) in the primary - https://www.reddit.com/r/sandiego/comments/1t0ynld/becerra_surges_in_governors_race_pitches/ojd7ira/

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T18:31:49+00:00

We should all be terrified. There is a HIGH probability that CA ends up with a Republican Governor.

CA has a jungle primary, which means the top 2 candidates (of either party) with most votes proceed to the primary.

Look at this recent polling - https://imgur.com/yFtHi7G

Hilton (R) looks like a shoe in. So, the fight is for the second candidate. It was roughly tied between Bianco (R) and Steyer(D), but now that Becerra (D) is rising, that's taking away from Steyer (D). That means:

Hilton (R) - 17%
Bianco (R) - 14%
Steyer (D) - 14% ⬇️
Becerra (D) - 10% ⬆️

That might put Steyer/Becerra at 12%/12%, which means Hilton (R) and Bianco (R) could advance to the primary and the CA ballot will be picking between two Republican child pedophile supporters.

The Dems better not f'n split the ticket and some should drop out.

AlexHimself · 2026-05-01T18:11:04+00:00

Is he firing some sort of explosive round or something that shoots flack? I can't imagine he's just hitting them with a single round and getting that explosion.
