A woman is facing two felony charges after a witness said she purposely hit a cyclist with her minivan in a Key West road rage incident on Monday night, injuring her and fleeing the scene, according to the city’s police department.
I don’t see what tourists helping the local economy would have to do with anything. That is what they brought up. Their comment reads the exact same way as many other comments I have seen where users are mad that tourists are criticized. The only reason I can think of to do that is being defensive. In any case, I think it’s pretty weird to bring up that tourists help the local economy when violence has occurred. There were several upvotes in all comments where I said anything like this so it’s not just me. 🤷♂️
If they had left out what the woman said before committing violence I would’ve thought precisely the same about the incident. And that makes perfect sense to me, the motive was obviously road rage.
I feel like my point is entirely proven by the fact that instead of discussing how cars are a problem in society, we’re going back and forth for over a day about whether or not what this psycho’s words matter or not. The reason this article was posted was to highlight car culture impacting society. This is not /c/touristsarepeopletoo
I don’t see what tourists helping the local economy would have to do with anything.
Well yes, that’s precisely my point. I read the tourism aspect as largely irrelevant, as I’ve tried to get across multiple times with the examples of switching tourism out for race or for heat. It could have been loads of things.

Discussing vote totals is weird. But seeing as you’ve introduced it, I would remind you that not everyone uses the vote system as you seem to. I myself have upvoted your comments as I would anyone that continues a discussion. I wouldn’t downvote someone for having a different opinion, that would be a bit childish for my tastes.
Further, a handful of upvotes does not make your view correct and any dissenting opinion incorrect. If that were the case, you must be wrong as I only see one downvote on that parent comment we’ve been going back and forth about. I wonder who that could be. The surprising thing about a comment thread more than a few deep like this one is that evidently people other than you and I are still reading this far.
Anyway, I apologise for having such a long exchange. I’d thought we were having a decent discussion, not arguing semantics. It is worth noting this is sort of a byproduct of text based discussions. Had we done this verbally we’d have been concluded in ten or fifteen minutes.
