THERE ARE TIRE MARKS ON THE BRIGHTLY COLORED ROAD.

THIS MIGHT BE HATE SPEECH.

Black tire streaks on Hamilton’s new rainbow Pride crosswalk in front of city hall are causing some concern they were deliberately made by a driver spinning tires to vandalize the LGBTQ flag symbol.

Mayor Fred Eisenberger said there is some debate among staff as to whether the marks were made on purpose or are a normal occurrence of rubber wearing off tires on hot pavement in the dead of summer.

“I’m suspicious,” he said. “Just the way it (the marking) sits there. It’s odd that it’s just before and after the crosswalk (and into the crossing).”

It’s not odd, droolstain. Tire marks are going to show up on a friggin RAINBOW more than they are on asphalt.

But maybe I’m just not #woke enough to realize that:

Tires are hate speech.

OMG. Now I get it!

BAN TIRES.

if you don’t want tire marks on the rainbow, don’t paint rainbow on the road. Tires go on road. Tires make marks. Problem solved!

THAT’S HATE SPEECH.

No. It’s a natural result of rubber tires on an asphalt road. See all that science stuff I saved you?

SCIENCE IS HATE SPEECH.

I disagree at the idea of this being intentional. Look at the marks on the green bike crossings. Have you ever been to an F1 race? Black marks are all over painted surfaces. Stop trying to stir the pot.

Wait… why are people HATE SPEECH-ing the bike crossings?

ARE THEY BIKEOPHOBIC?

PROBABLY.

I have an even bigger scoop for you. I replaced all the toilet paper in my office building with rainbow toilet paper and people keep wiping their butts with it and I can’t believe such rampant homophobia exists in 2018 smdh

OMG. Can you believe those MONSTERS would engage in such HATE?! UNBELIEVABLE.

…This is a freaking joke.
