This Isn't What I Meant

After just making fun of RG4N for resorting to the same old tricks over and over, I discovered they actually had a different plan scheduled originally. They were going to intentionally create a traffic jam around Northcross Mall during rush hour.

The idea is to simulate the increased traffic that would result from having Wal-Mart at Northcross. Of course, this will do no such thing. First off, the number of cars they bring will have no alignment with the number of cars added to the area by Wal-Mart customers - it could be more, it could be less. Second, Wal-Mart customers are generally trying to get to the Wal-Mart and then get out promptly, but the RG4N people are intentionally trying to jam up traffic. So they aren't "typical" drivers at all.

This pisses me off. A lot. This takes them from harmless moonbats to public menace. So guys - what if there is a medical emergency in the area? How about if an ambulance can't get through because of your little hissy fit? Or a fire engine? Or a police car? Would it still be worth it?

You morons need to die in a fire. You don't like Wal-Mart? Go away - far away. Might I recommend San Francisco?
