Official-Looking Stickers Are Anything But Legit

The Sticker with the figure with a bat hitting the cyclist looks like it was purchased on Etsy.

A Stevenage business has been reported to the police for operating a van sporting stickers that appear to incite violence against cyclists. One of the stickers reads “Avoid serious injury, stay away from my van!” and includes a graphic of a cyclist being attacked with a baseball bat. The other sticker reads “Stay wider of the driver”.

Yellow “cyclists stay back” stickers have caused controversy in the last couple of years, and were originally introduced by Transport for London, and meant to be placed only on buses. The stickers soon migrated to other vehicles, including HGVs, vans and cars.

The sticker is creepy and disturbing - seems like it would be right up his alley.

I'm gonna build a wall and have the cycling community pay for it. Now this wall will be the best wall the world has ever seen. It will ensure that we remain safe from all immigrants, all religions, all minority and ethnic groups, women, and anybody else that we don't like, which is most people.

Now believe me, I've got the cohones to do this, no problem there.

Now I want you all to raise your right hand and repeat after me, "I promise to suspend my better judgement and vote for Trump because his opponent is just a p***y anyway."

Make America, America, again!

Well, the target was just irresistible.

But I was curious about the geographic location myself. I think its in the UK? Couldn't be here, the warning wouldn't have a guy with a bat, he'd be wielding something that propelled hot metal.
