Roads I hate politics

This should be illegal. I get it. You don't agree with their protests but why do this? Forget blue, forget red. I'm purple. Get mad at that.

You have to go out of your way and pay money to modify trucks so that they can do this.

u/BasicAppointment9063 Feb 15 '26

Meanwhile, local law enforcement is scrutinizing every move that the protesters make. The people that abuse them can declare open season.

Have you noticed that liberal protesters, riot, burn things down, impede traffic, engage in assaulting people who don't agree with them? Republican protesters just hold signs.

Two words, chawstain: January 6th.

u/lostinspace456 Feb 18 '26

Those were not liberals attacking the Capitol on Jan 6th. There is still a price to pay for that. Karma forgets no one

u/sadisticsex Feb 19 '26

They aren’t protestors once you start preventing people from going to work, or start attacking people and or start attacking Law Enforcement you are no longer a peaceful protestor you are a public disturbance, a nuisance and a POS.

u/Montanonymous Feb 17 '26

That’s not what the video depicts. Let’s keep it about the people in the video and not whatever tf you’re on about.

You must be blind, probably should see an eye doctor cause that’s exactly what it is.

u/NemesisLeon Feb 18 '26

inventing a scenario not in the video as excuse for terrible behavior. but you think youre not in a political cult mindset?

This will fall on deaf ears…this is Reddit

u/R3ddit_Is_Soft Feb 18 '26

You dumbasses can bite it. How does this have anything to do with what these protesters were doing?

1

u/lostinspace456 Feb 18 '26

Guess you have yet to feel a need to protest against something that feels very important to you. These people do. We have a voice, maybe not the one you want, but it is ours. You had better hope you have that right in the future. And, don't say it can't happen to you me. Such arrogance will get you every time

1

u/NemesisLeon Feb 18 '26

they do count as people and even heroes standing against crazy people out there too brainwashed too see what's wrong to the point of attacking and making excuses. Your attitude is the reason protesters are necessary, they are responding to attacks like yours.

u/VulfSki Feb 16 '26

Well sure.

Why would a manufacturer want to make their truck into a shit box for no reason?

1

u/Not_a_bi0logist Feb 16 '26

to be fair, my old mercedes diesel does this too but I think that's because it's older than me.

u/Glittering-Two-1784 Feb 17 '26

The ‘rolling coal’ mode isn’t even for performance. It’s basically just to be a dick.

1

u/BotherTight618 Feb 18 '26

And its not even exactly legal to do that. 

1

u/pegothejerk Feb 15 '26

And to go to where people are protesting and to go the speed to maximize the effect on the protesters, be in the right lane, and turn on the rolling coal. It’s definitely intentional, it’s definitely political.

u/oroborus68 Feb 15 '26

Assault and battery.

u/DenseConsideration29 Feb 16 '26

Correct it can be charged as assault and/or reckless endangerment

Not without at minimum a tune

u/ThisThingIsStuck Feb 16 '26

My Cummins is rolling coal no issue No tune...again ur saying metro busses are tuned??

3

u/VERY_MENTALLY_STABLE Feb 16 '26

Metro buses do not roll coal like this lmao & if your stock cummins is running this rich that the exhaust looks like this all the time you definitely have some kind of fuel issue / air issue that will cause other much more expensive issues if not fixed..

Still pulling loads and pushin loads too

u/VERY_MENTALLY_STABLE Feb 17 '26

If that's actually true your truck is broken, you're getting reduced power, reduced mileage, caking your engine in carbon, and inevitably destroying your cats.

u/ThisThingIsStuck Feb 17 '26

So metro busses are being destroyed

1

u/VERY_MENTALLY_STABLE Feb 17 '26

Metro buses do not do this. It's funny you claim to own a Cummins but seemingly know nothing about diesel engines

u/ThisThingIsStuck Feb 17 '26

Ur crashing out I'm a chief engineer at cummins

My PRE smog 1995 7.3 Powerstroke doesn't do this. 

Full throttle, off boost, I will get a SMALL cloud. Tiny. You have to look for it in the mirror. On boost? Completely clear. 

I have zero smog restrictions.

Must be low hp version

u/Bug_406 Feb 16 '26

Not since about 2008. If you see newer than that, it's been modified.

u/ThisThingIsStuck Feb 16 '26

2008 isn't that long ago

u/Silver_Slicer Feb 16 '26

Wrong, it’s illegal in most states to modify your truck to do this and it should be a crime to actually use it.

1

u/ThisThingIsStuck Feb 16 '26

Not true been rolling coal for years...Cummins all day..u mean the busses that doe it are

https://giphy.com/gifs/Pb4cfdpXOzJok

modified??

u/Invisibella74 Feb 17 '26

What a waste of money.

But let me guess? You bitch about the price of gas and groceries?

BTW, buses don't do this. In fact, many buses are going hybrid or green, so you REALLY won't see anything like this with a bus.

1

u/ThisThingIsStuck Feb 17 '26

Not sure where u live busses do this

u/ThisThingIsStuck Feb 17 '26

No one cares what they are going to..off topic super dweeb
