Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Seriously thought about getting one of these as a gag gift for a friend;

 

THAT, boys and girls, is the infamous Jeep "Death Wobble".

 

Just saw this in my home town. The guy has a ratchet strap round his leaf springs & its loose & swinging around under the truck. Took the pic & got out of there.

 

Not just Jeep, it can happen to any vehicle with a solid front axle and worn bushings.

I bought a Grand Cherokee and negotiated the price down because of wobble.

A $25 set of Moog track bar bushings and she was good as new.

 

Just sayin... It is aptly named.

 

Been there, done that.

changed my trousers and bought a Tacoma.

 

Same

 

In Portland the criminals win.





Appeals court throws out protective order against Portland cop-watcher...….

SALEM — A cop-watcher can again film Portland Police Chief Danielle Outlaw after the Oregon Court of Appeals struck down a stalking protective order.
The case concerned Eli F. Richey. A self-described citizen journalist and police watchdog, Richey is known for filming officers on duty and posting the videos online.
During the course of his activities, a judge issued a protective order prohibiting him from coming into contact or filming the chief.
“The order should have never been granted,” said Jesse Merrithew, the civil rights attorney who represented Richey, of the ruling issued Wednesday.
Merrithew said the order wouldn’t have been granted if Richey had legal counsel to challenge arguments made by Outlaw. He said that had the appeals court ruled for the chief, public officials would be freer to use protective orders to keep away people they don’t want to deal with.
A police bureau spokesman declined to comment beyond saying that Outlaw would meet with city attorneys to discuss next steps.
Court records show that in recent years Richey has been charged with interfering with a peace officer, trespassing and harassment. Some incidents related to his filming or activism.
Richey has also appeared in front of the homes of law enforcement officials, including a 2017 visit to the home of Multnomah District Attorney Rod Underhill wearing a ski mask. At the time the protective order was issued he was under probation conditions that prevented him from coming near the homes of government officials.

In December 2018, Outlaw obtained a protective order against Richey stemming from multiple encounters. According to the court decision, the first occurred in December 2017 when Outlaw was walking to the police bureau’s central precinct, wearing her uniform and firearm, when she heard Richey yelling at her from across the street. She couldn’t quite make out what he was yelling but heard an acronym, “something like Nazi” and “wheel of fortune.”

Richey caught up with Outlaw and began filming. Two city employees accompanying Outlaw tried to create a buffer between her and Richey. The video showed Richey maintaining a 6- to 8-foot distance from the chief, according to the court decision. After Richey made additional remarks, the encounter ended with each saying “good evening,” the court decision said.

 

As much as I dislike what he's doing, he's doing it legally & the protective order was unjust. We have a guy in the town I work in that records us (fire/EMS) & LE whenever he gets a chance. Weird dude & super annoying but he's not violating any laws. I'm a very firm believer in the Constitution & this POS is following it. Be careful what you wish for as those rights can be taken away & leave you saying WTF.

 

I'm not ok with some asshole following me around, filming everything I do, and putting it on You Tube. Not to mention appearing outside of my house wearing a ski mask. Stalking is stalking.

 

I'm not okay w/it either but what law did he break or what life threat did he make?

Don't get me wrong, it's fucked up. Have to tread lightly when taking away people's rights because you don't like what they're doing or hurt your feelings.

 

Think what you want. He's stalking the first Black female Police Chief in Portland's history. This clown has a long history of harassing people. I don't give a rats ass about his "rights"

The comments are awesome.

 

Portland also has a long history of being racist. If he never did this to her predecessors...

 

He appears to be the same race as her so not sure why y'all are using the racist angle. They both look mixed w/black.
He also does it to other officers but this order was specific to the Chief. He's a "police watchdog" so he's doing it to "police".

 

A statement from this genius...

If you know my story then you'll understand why I'm asking for your help. Otherwise my name is Eli and as a man who was born and raised "mixed" black. In Portland Oregon in 97' began working in progressive politics. I began having seizures in 2008 doctors say it's because of stress. This was at the same time when I learn Politics isn't about saving the world but making money. #GreenLivesMatter The reality of the world. I had heard of targeted individuals and electromagnetic weapons. You ask "how possible is it that i'm a being attacked or are one of the targeted" and I say would you like to facetime and talk about it? And, if you just want to sponsor me because money aint a thing" I appreciate it.
