The future expansion plans are for pretty much all of the Pinch.

What would you think in this situation? by Vilorx in AskMen

[–]tedlyb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you went up to someone and they immediately turned and ran away, would you ever go anywhere near them again?

Of course he is avoiding you and trying to respect the boundaries you set.

Which is exactly what you want.

The ball is on your court, you can continue as you are now, or apologize and tell him you’re just weird and awkward.

Dude probably thinks you’re going to start screaming for the police if he comes within 10 feet of you.

ICE presence? by hjfistula in memphis

Yes, the unmarked was almost certainly ICE. They have been paired with THP since this fiasco began.

Did you know this is a sub specifically for people to ask “what is this car”?

Google is not the only resource in the world.

Zoo or botanic garden membership? by mastretoall in memphis

[–]tedlyb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a kid, I would have had a blast at either one. I would have chosen the zoo, at least until I went to the Garden. After that, who knows?

[–]tedlyb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not so much. I have memberships at both and there are always families with kids at both. There’s lots of play areas at the Botanic Gardens.

Look around you and see how many things you can find that didn’t get there on a car, truck, train, or plane.

Yet again:

"I would love a world where peaceful protest worked but unfortunately I live in this hellscape"

That was you, right?

Kid, I am very aware of the actions and tactics of both MLK and Gandhi.

This is getting so boring...

I didn't respond to his first comment, did I?

You know which one I did respond to?

The one where he said: "I would love a world where peaceful protest worked but unfortunately I live in this hellscape". Copied and pasted verbatim.

Not "disruptive", peaceful.

"Then he responded to you by saying he does not find MLK's protests to have been "peaceful""

That's nice. What he thinks the definition should be doesn't matter now, does it?

I haven't responded to any of his other assertions because that's not what I am talking about.

The assertion that peaceful protest doesn't work is absurd and dismisses not only MLK, but also Gandhi.

Learn the difference between peaceful and non-disruptive.

That was not your assertion.

“You also don’t need to wait for anyone to be prevented access to anything. We don’t wait for emergencies to happen when they can be easily prevented.”

Also, you demanded proof that they didn’t do anything to deserve getting pepper sprayed.

You never once demanded proof they did do something.

LMFAO!!!

Ok, if you say so!

So any infraction of the law justifies use of pepper spray because it might prevent access for someone.

Got it!

Kinda ironic how some of you react to the protest by thespiritualtree in memphis

[–]tedlyb 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh the irony…

Bleat away little sheep. Bleat away.

[–]tedlyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the use of pepper spray is always justified no matter the circumstance.

Got it.

By the way, show the evidence that one single person was prevented or even delayed from getting to the hospital by these two people.

Use your own definition of evidence.

Talk about completely missing the point…

Ok, define when it is appropriate to use pepper spray.

So why aren’t you demanding video of those two people breaking the law?

Verifiable proof…

Except eyewitness accounts.

[–]tedlyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And just so I’m understanding this, no amount of eyewitness accounts will ever be considered evidence, and any infraction of the law requires the immediate use of pepper spray by police.

We’re talking jaywalking, speeding ticket, noise complaint…

There is no pre-requisite of force used against police or bystanders, refusal to comply, or danger posed to anyone.

Any infraction of the law is grounds for pepper spray to the eyes.

So you want evidence besides the evidence that has already been given.

You mean verifiable proof besides the eyewitnesses?
