Here’s some responses to Lockdown Nation Rant on Liveleak so far…

I realize the ban had people upset, but as a firefighter I appreciate them. All it takes is one idiot to start a chain reaction which could turn into a huge 100 car pile up somewhere. If there is a fire, or someone is down, and the roads are cluttered with people and snow, our rigs are useless. Had people not been complete idiots when the weather was bad, you wouldn’t see this.

However, it might have been a little early for the ban, but eh. It’s not the police state you’re thinking of. You knew the storm was coming, they were talking travel bans a few days prior, you could have accomplished anything before then and used it as an excuse not to leave home.

Also, if im driving down the road, and a cop is pointing a gun at me, sure I would get out and listen. I have nothing to hide, and I would want said offenders found.

Lastly, I might be bias, as I work with cops and have many a friends who have served in both police and military, but I respect them and honor their bravery, at least those that honor the oath and follow protocols. Flame away, but until you are in their shoes, you don’t know what they have to deal with.

@Peckerhead

You can’t comprehend what tormunkov just said, the stupidity behind that lack of comprehension is the same thing that allows you to think that unconstitutional bans on freedom of movement in the name of “safety” should be enforced on American’s regardless of our clearly stated civil liberties.

@apathetic

What you fail to comprehend is that nobody’s freedom of
movement was infringed nor was there a “Lock Down”. You can clearly see in news footage of this storm that people were allowed to, and did, move freely about in both Boston & NYC….they just couldn’t use the road with a car.

Owning and operating an automobile is a privilege granted by the state not a right. Operating an automobile on a public road is also a privilege not a right.

As I stated before State, counties, cities, close down roads due to safety concerns every day.

It’s funny how people who scream “Unconstitutional” the loudest seem to have no idea what they’re talking about.

Government is the crisis.

Remember that it’s gonna snow regardless of how interactive dumb government is with the people.

DeBlows you can’t manage himself let alone manipulate a crisis to his favor. I think they’re being authoritarian merely for not knowing how to do it any other way.

In soviet union roads were mostly empty because there were not enough cars for everybody and they were expensive. Not because roads were closed. Travelling inside of the union was relatively easy. Leaving it was hard.

This reporter is making the situation seem much worse than what it really was. The mayor asked people to refrain from driving due to the conditions of a blizzard that we just had. If people are driving the streets then the cleaning crews can’t clean the streets. Do you know what it’s like when it snows like a motherfucker up here? As soon as the roads were cleared and the brunt of the storm was over they lifted the travel bans. It wasn’t about locking people in their homes and keep them prisoners, it was for the safety of everyone.

The boston bombing incident is a horse of a completely different color than a severe weather event. One that I think went completely over board.

NYC, for example was not in “lock down” the city just exercised it’s right to restrict automobile road use.

Roads, Highways, bridges are closed all the time. States, towns, cities do reserve the right to restrict automobile travel on roads when public safety is a concern.

That is not the same thing as Bostons “lock down”.

How is this any different from closing off a stretch of highway because flooding may wash the road away.

This guy’s a wackjob.

Let them drive. Also tell them that if they get stuck and block the road, a portable car crusher will stop by to remove the hazard.

These lockdowns are the result of non-emergency people ignoring the warnings and attempting to drive mid-storm. They end up getting stuck somewhere and then demand emergency assistance, pulling resources away from areas where they’re needed. Their disabled vehicles end up blocking streets that then can’t be plowed until the vehicle can be towed, again pulling resources from where they’re needed and slowing down the removal of snow. The endless whining about unplowed streets and Con Edison brought this about. You can’t have it both ways, just enjoy the snow day.

I agree with you but you do realize people from NYC are complete idiots and are not capable of making rational decisions.

Totally agree with this post.
No fucking way these idiots have a right to close down our roads like this. No. Fucking. Way.
Year after year they get away with this shit as if we were subjects.

What happened is the deluge of neo-castratos like @peckerhead. Look what he wrote below:

“Owning and operating an automobile is a privilege granted by the state not a right. Operating an automobile on a public road is also a privilege not a right.”

Big deal, back in the late 70s they would close Wisconsin freeways all the time usually for a few hours so they could clear the roads , but that’s when we got snow

I try to keep an open mind, on one hand if you have every Guido, Julio or Tyrone running around with their Uber ride then you’ll never get the freaking snow moved. On the other hand if you have this massive public transportation system and encourage the public to use it why the fuck are you closing it down as well.

In those conditions, when travel is difficult and risky, it just makes sense to stay off of the roads so that emergency vehicles don’t have to respond to a call about some retard crashing into a utility pole while on his way to get a 6-pack of PBR, they have the time to save someone having a heart attack or put out your kitchen fire. BTW, Russia is much closer to being “the old Soviet Union” than any place in the U.S., and don’t eat so much, comrade.
