Holy shit. Nah dude look up the entire story, itโs INSANE.
The dude got arrested once before this for using a painterโs extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didnโt cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first timeโwhich he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citationsโthe yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.
When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriffโs Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-.
When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in Americaโs flat out fucking ballsiest โfuck youโ to the gubmint Iโve ever heard of.
And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guyโhis name is Stephen Ruth by the wayโstarted GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!
As a final insult to injury, Ruth pointed out that the VAST majority of the cameras were found SPECIFICALLY in lower-to-middle-class neighborhoods. As well, the victims of these rigged stoplights tried to go to the local news station to talk about the deaths of their family members that occurred from the rigging. Aaaandโฆ The local station, โNews12โณ, never aired their interviews.
Remember how I said that, after cutting the cables and calling the local news station, Ruth was arrested because of pressure from politicians? Get this: News12 is actually owned by CableVision, who PROVIDES INTERNET SERVICE TO THE CAMERAS.
Whereas mister Ruth was only trying to help people and save lives, heโs been caught up in a full-blown fucking government conspiracy thatโs out for his blood. This guy isnโt Robin Hood, he makes Robin Hood look like a -CHUMP-.
