Tips, police sleuthing led to arrest in fatal Aurora scooter crash, police say

“If not for the critical information provided by local residents and our ability to leverage video technology through the Aurora Police Department’s Real-Time Information Center, this very well could have been a case of another life lost without justice.”

⬆️ #HitAndRun by @benroyce who said…
>> the scolds, the gatekeepers, etc… they all need to fuck off…

Then proceeds to "scold" people for sharing their own observed experiences, and appoints himself "gatekeeper" by demanding they take down posts that don't comport with his views.

But others' experiences and opinions be damned even when told that he doesn't need to agree with them.

>> #mastodon will die if we aren't trying to be friendly and inclusive

⬆️ #HitAndRun by @tobie1 who doesn't know what "exception" means.

Hogg said “We need people, regardless of their age" and cited #Pelosi & #Schakowsky as exceptional fighters.

Don't know where tobie "old-fashioned" got the idea that Hogg was advocating age as the "only criterion" or that Schakowsky "failed to do her job".

We've indeed lost our minds, and with that, reading, comprehension, and critical thinking skills.

One reason we are in this mess is because we fail to #acknowledgeTheProblem

⬆️ #HitAndRun by @rosanita, who does not understand the difference between correlation and causation.

75+ million of us put our faith in #KamalaHarris, and she has disappeared without a trace.

Did #Harris make a statement that she was quitting politics and wants to spend rest of her time with family, or some such thing?

Politicians get praise too when they deserve. There's nothing wrong in calling politicians out when they disappoint.

⬆️ >>Please don't try to shift blame from #Democratic Party Leaders to the electorate who put their trust in these leaders.

#HitAndRun by @jenzi who thinks it is the #Democratic electorate's fault that they elected #Schumer so that he could do #Trump's dirty work by voting for #Republican agenda that #GOP didn't even seek his input on.

Is it also the electorate's fault that #Garland only went after foot soldiers because #Biden explicitly kneecapped him from seriously investigating Trump for J6?

⬆️ @ayoub

#HitAndRun by @ymasumac without understanding the questions.

>> Oct 7 was #Hamas action. #Hezbollah is in #Lebanon.

I am fully aware. My questions are:

1. Why did Lebanon jump into a conflict between Hamas and #Israel when Israel had not attacked Lebanon?

2. Why does Lebanon expect Israel to stop attacking it when the former entered into the fight unilaterally?

3. If Lebanon wants the conflict to end, why won't it stop the attacks that it started?

Hope it is clearer this time.

⬆️ #HitAndRun by @HarbingerOfSalem, who short-circuited his brain on my above post.

He is upset that I posted a response to @realTuckFrumper's post about what #Trump said on #KamalaHarris and #JoshShapiro instead of boosting one of his, in which he ostensibly made a similar remark.

1st: Holding #Harris #hostage over #MiddleEast is not something to be proud of anyway.

2nd: I didn't know he made that remark before Trump did, or at all.

3rd: I don't owe anybody any response.

4th: Good riddance!
