Hey all,
I got invited to join this group on facebook because of another group I'm associated with.
Regardless of how you feel about "hipsters" living in Pilsen, a group promoting violence against cyclists is unacceptable. I would encourage everyone to send a message to the woman who formed this group and share your thoughts.
Posts in the group such as this:
'I hit a hipster with my car smoking a roll up and she call me a spic.. and kept on biking'
'ooo how about getting in a car really fast and then opening the driver door side when they roll up...and they are riding with no hand hopefully lol'
Tags:
Yeah, I got a reply of "lol. ok."
And if they are intending satire, they're doing a bad job of it. "Lee Ving" - How original, he steals the name of the singer from FEAR, and his little rant there makes no sense whatsoever. "Force his pallet to like cheap beer" Wut?
Barely literate jackass.

This 'constitution' includes something called the first amendment. Also, I couldn't find one but I'm sure if you searched hard enoug, you'd be able to locate some sort of manuscript explaining how/where to procure 'a set'. Once you procure 'a set' (ovaries, testicles, whatever) you'll find that you can just turn AWAY from things you find offensive- rather than complaining about them in an effort to have them removed. If you don't like it, don't look. Simple as that.
My Reply:
Interesting. freedom of speech does not protect you threatening to harm people. Your grasp of the Constitution is a fail. If you use your logic though you should just ignore hipsters. Perhaps logic isn't your strongest suit though.

Permalink Reply by Gabe on April 29, 2012 at 1:53pm Hipsters (i.e you. Why refer when we can just cut to the chase?) don't offend me! They annoy me and fill me with a strong violent urge to KILL. KILL. KILL. Clearly your grasp on self-awareness is 'a fail'. I can't wait to see you on on a bike! Seriously though. I'll leave this off here because it's the internet and everyone who argues on it is pretty silly but if you message me again with your petty whiney dickless bullshit there will be a real-life issue. Got it? Good. I knew we'd understand one another.

Thanks! I've cataloged your name and face and will be distributing it to friends.

To do what exactly? Give me details!

Are you threatening me with a good time? I really do love being threatened with a good time.

Permalink Reply by gillian wu on April 29, 2012 at 6:34pm Suprised to scroll down and see some of my own Facebook feed. Lanna is actually personal friend of mine. Not only does she ride a bike, but I know she wouldn't actually push someone off theirs. I'm not saying that this is okay, but this group seems to be more directed towards Pilsen resident's vitriol towards people they see as "hipsters" than an actual concerted effort to wreak violence upon cyclists. Perhaps as cyclists we should preserve our knees by not jerking them at every rambling yahoo on the interwebs.
Permalink Reply by Gabe on April 29, 2012 at 7:01pm Gillian, your friend actually is threatening me and I'm pretty far from a hipster. You need better friends.
Permalink Reply by gillian wu on April 29, 2012 at 7:08pm I would advise you to remember that the internet is an aspirational place in which we attempt to be more badass than we actually are. It would be better for everyone's blood pressure if they would stop engaging, which is what I am going to do right now! :)

Permalink Reply by Gabe on April 29, 2012 at 7:17pm A better course of action would be to let your friend know she's an idiot and should delete the group she is helping admin in which she is threatening to harm cyclists. I don't care if she actually is one. But I guess you could not doin anything and wait for her bad behavior to actually affect you in some way. Good call.
