This kind of "on purpose" behavior is making me very upset. I keep thinking that there should be some kind of mechanism for the perpetrators to have a feel of their own medicine.
Like every time a vehicle in front of me releasing thick black smoke from tailpipe, I feel like it must be required by law for them to channel some of the smoke to go inside their own vehicle, so they know, "Oh, apparently it doesn't smell nice and it can kill me, I should send my car to workshop so I don't hurt others."
Smokers already feel this. In many buildings, when they want to smoke, they must go to some room with other smokers. Although, I still don't understand why they still keep smoking. At least, they can only hurt themselves.

- ouid 8y agoThis seems like a question that has to be left up to the courts, somehow.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoWhen I was smoking, hanging outside with other smokers was half of the addiction. Completely unrelated to this case, which is just about old fashioned profit over the common good.
- corey_moncure 8y agoHave you ever been to China? Those people are "feeling" their own medicine daily, pervasively, in ways it's difficult to comprehend except by experiencing it for yourself. The images and stories you consume on the internet only take you part of the way to their soul crushing reality. They are already the product of their environment. Coal rollers in the USA, on the other hand, have no excuse.
