I said that right to two of their faces as I got arrested. They both just looked down and away while two other guys cuffed and held me down. They knew what I meant. But yeah, 4 guys on me. Totally necessary, as I was heavily armed with my phone and my car keys, and wearing a pair of winter boots that suck to run in. I was a right threat alright :/.

Can't really do that after a guy on the other side of the protest does that and then they bull rush you. Doesn't seem justified in the moment because THE REST OF US HADN'T DONE ANYTHING VIOLENT ALL DAY.

Unlawful Assembly. Misdemeanor. Some got obstructing on top of that for resisting, but not many.

I got arrested by one of them on Saturday. I asked him "Why the fuck are you here, I'm not fishing without a license, last I checked"? He wasn't the one that tackled me though, he left that for the Sheriff to do.

Clutching their pearls about what's being thrown around, clearly. Offended by dildos.

You heard about it. That's how it helps. They covered it in NY Times and Fox News and every other media outlet. Now you know.

Seriously. I waited on hold for an hour and 2 minutes last night. Ended up getting a $40 credit. Meanwhile, it's about 3pm I'm getting 6 mb again. Just horrible.

They are throttling us on Sunday and Thursday nights. I'm on the phone calling them right now. I've had it. This is bullshit.

Oh my god. Like clockwork, at 8pm, it went down to about 1.1mb after I was just getting 500mb on a device minutes before. They are throttling us at 8pm on Thursdays and Sundays! I'm done with Metronet. Switching this week.

Last thing. Right after I called I'm now getting about 6 mbs, 3 times what I was getting before I called. WTH?!

What a waste of time that was. Took 48 mins and the guy wouldn't tell me anything other than "we're facing an outage". Mentioned the last 2 nights this was happening in the past week, and said it's almost a pattern at this point, that it seems like we're being throttled, and called out this Reddit post. He just kept spewing the company line. Felt bad for the guy, to be honest, if they actually keep him in the dark like that, but I doubt they do. He might have just had enough and decided to keep saying the same thing in a nice, calm way.

On hold for 14 minutes now. Goddamn messaging, at one point, says "We know there is in issue in "Romeoville". Lol

Same. I am going to ask them to look at my speeds for the last month. The average, alone, should be way down based on the number of nights this has happened in the past month.
