After skid mark vandalism, electric scooter company implements a ‘no-go zone’ over ‘Pride’ street mural and remotely shuts off the device if you cross into the area

By Olivia Murray

From Jackson Walker at The National Desk comes the news that Lime, a San Francisco-based transportation company that leases electric scooters, bikes, and mopeds in big cities, has just implemented a “no-go zone” over the “Pride” street mural in Spokane, Washington as a preemptive measure—there have been repeated instances of vandalism, and the mural has already has at least one new paint refresh this month after someone set it on fire. Here are more of the details, per Walker:

Police in Spokane recently announced the arrests of four suspects accused of defacing the mural. Officers said they received a call Wednesday of suspects on scooters damaging the mural. When they arrived at the scene, officers say they were able to witness the vandalism first-hand.

The Pride mural had ‘widespread damage’ according to police, including ‘black scuff marks consistent with scooter wheels.’ Police noted the mural had recently been repainted to undo other damage to the flag.

This “no-go zone” means that if you’re cruising on a Lime product, operating it in the street where it belongs, and you attempt to cross into the “Pride” territory, whatever you’re operating will lose all power, and you’ll be forced to walk and push the device out of the zone, which is in the road mind you, at which point power will return.

Here’s how Robby Starbuck articulated the insane danger this “no-go zone” poses, to Lime operators especially, but also to anyone else behind the wheel who now has to be prepared for vehicles that suddenly shut off if they drive in certain areas of the road:

For context, the mural spans the entire intersection:

Here’s a thought, if you don’t want tire marks on something, then don’t paint it on the street.

And, reported yesterday, someone has now vandalized the mural with paint:

As the video above notes, those arrested for the tire mark vandalism are being charged with felonies—you know what won’t get you charged with a felony though?

Defacing public property if there’s any link to American patriotism or “white man” history, or desecrating an Old Glory, like the social misfits routinely do.

Illegally taking and keeping classified documents, and storing them in parked convertibles in unsecured garages, like Stinky Joe.

Using a private server as the Secretary of State for official business to keep the contents of the business away from the scrutiny of other government officials, like Hillary Clinton.

Lying to FISA courts to obtain politically-motivated warrants, like FBI agents.

Recording yourself in possession of illicit and illegal drugs, like Hunter Biden.

Of course this list doesn’t even scratch the surface of the two-tiered “justice” system.

Now, if “them” remotely cutting off the power to our transportation over political statements doesn’t wake you up to what’s really going on here, and what the “electric vehicle” movement is really about, then I don’t know what will.
