It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Is that… specifically illegal…?

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You mean destruction of private property and littering into a river?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

No, I get it. It's just a silly title because you are "charged" with crimes outlined in the state or federal penal code, in this case "felony malicious injury to property and misdemeanor resisting or obstructing officers." The way it is worded implies that there is a special law in Idaho that forbids throwing eleven electric scooters into the Snake River.

frankly tired of the scooter rentals being left laying all over, I kinda see his motivation.
