Article literally says started just before 8, taken into custody at 815.
And yes, they got delayed 15 min. A well paid trade makes what - 60-80 and hour? Assault charges are now worth what… $15-20??? Can I now throw some around for a little less than dinner? For making roadworks? Because a meeting runs over by 15 min? There is no way to justify assault for a 15 min wait.
How much should we hate people who do road works or bicyclists or people who break down and cause delays. I am presuming you would support beating the shit out of them because you are a tradie and they cost you money and anybody who causes a tradie to lose money should be violently assaulted right?
I don’t see a measurable increase in extreme weather events as “abstract”.
One of those things is numbers and statistics, one of them is right in front of you.
ok, you need to look up the definition of abstract, because numbers and statistics are, by their nature, not abstract.
Pedantry, my friend.🥱 You’re missing the point.
15 min late and delaying 5,000 or so people is literally a number and stats
Not when it’s your time being wasted
Besides, the delay caused would have been a lot more than fifteen minutes.

The delay caused by this would have been much worse than fifteen minutes, because this would have had a ripple effect all through rush hour.
And trades charge that much, they probably keep less than half of it as profit.
Are you a child? Because you seem genuinely ignorant of how the world works.

Nope - mid 30s.
Delay would have been worse than 15 - but I bet this guy wasn’t at the back of the queue.
Yes, less than that profit unless they are self employed. So therefore assault for even less than that.
Well aware, and can understand the context as well.
I can assure you self employed tradies still have significant expenses. I’m genuinely amazed you’re in your thirties and still think like this.
Please list me which of those expenses accrue while sitting in traffic, and what costs justify assault with a vehicle and general assault.
