Sorry I'm not interested in your equivocating bullshit.

Who's still undecided on clock? Who doesn't burn with hare for anyone who'd install one of these? Fucking your Nazi coddling bullshit. Guilty is guilty.

lobbying for legislation to stop

The thing the local government in question already told them to stop. They will continue or they will be killed. Or I guess like a carrington event or something, but barring that they will continue or they will be kille

Cut it with your divisive fetishism of systems that have already proven useless for keeping us sage, and caused the problem in the first place. Pick a side.

Cut it with your divisive fetishism

Pick a side.

Right... I'm the one being divisive, by saying that we should organize and work together. Hilarious.

systems that have already proven useless

The thing doing the most damage to Flock right now is the negative public opinion pushing counties and townships to cancel contracts. Those "useless" systems are actively responding to the demands of their citizens, and Flock cameras are being removed in many jurisdictions. The way you hurt a capitalist enterprise is to take away its money (loss of contracts).

So, how about you "pick a side" and join in with the effort that is actually producing results?
