Tommy Shane Steiner, a mostly retired country singer, has been flying and landing his private helicopter at an Austin shopping center to “ward off” people who he said were breaking into businesses.

    Technically he’s right, since traffic is caused by cars. (the snowflake doesn’t blame itself for the avalanche)

    But he’s still a fucking idiot.

      I think they’re referring to the #ecowarrior hashtag. I’m sure the original was supposed to be a tongue in cheek dig at the #fuckcars crowd but it’s definitely wrong that a local helicopter ride is better for greenhouse gas emissions than one car in normal traffic

        Oh, totally.

        I’m only commenting on the “relieving traffic” part of his stupidity.

          Yes we were aware, but it’s still “that’s the joke”, my man

      I was referring more to the ecowarrior hashtag.

      A helicopter will almost never be the environmentally friendly choice for commuting.

        He’s fighting in the eco wars alright. Just on the other side.

      Pretty sure personal helicopters are not eco friendly though.

        Wasn’t commenting on that part, JUST the bit about traffic.
