I'm Jesse, Lynnea's brother. The full statement from our family is in the image.

My sister, her husband Luke, and their son Logan were killed on I-71 back in April. Logan was one year old. Footage of the crash site and a photograph of the three of them are now being used in an ad from Senator Jon Husted's campaign. Nobody contacted us about it. The photographer wasn't asked either, and he was a friend of ours.

We wrote to the campaign on August 17 and it was delivered by certified mail on the 19th. We haven't heard back. The ad is still running as of this morning.

I don't want this to become an argument about immigration, and we're not speaking for any party or candidate. We just want it taken down.

Please don't go after anyone over this. If you think it's worth passing along, please do.

I'll try to answer questions in the comments. Thank you for reading.

POLITICS Neo Nazis in the Polaris mall

1.0k Upvotes

Just posting here to warn people. Earlier today around 1:00, I witnessed two neo nazi skinheads walking in to the Polaris mall. They insulted the band on the t-shirt I was wearing, called me a homophobic slur (“you look like a f**got”) and then outright just blatantly said “white power” and did the salute as they walked into the building.

Completely shaved heads, leather jackets (even though it was a rather hot day), and one of them was wearing a Slayer t-shirt (which is stupid because their singer isn’t even white).

They have been reported to mall security, but I figured I should warn people. I don’t even wanna know what they planned to do in that mall but they were already causing trouble right at the door. I was excited to go shopping but I immediately changed my plans after that.

It disgusts and baffles me that there are people out there who will just blatantly do and say things like this outright in public to people’s faces. They were like cartoonishly stupid and hateful and evil, like something out of a movie.

Stay safe out there.

Edit: one of them is in this comments section ragebaiting. Really pathetic and embarassing. They’re apparently 18. They’re also complaining that I’m not the one who snitched on them because my mom is the one who reported them? Like bro, I wasn’t even gonna report you to security, my mom just did that after I told her what just happened. Maybe if you didn’t wanna be kicked out of the mall you shouldn’t go around harassing people, dumbass.

Edit 2: some people here are accusing me of being like Jussie Smollet and making this shit up for attention. Some are even accusing the comments from one of the actual skinheads of being an alt account created by me. As cartoonish as these guys are, I assure you, this shit happened. I don’t know why you think I would make all this up for attention, so I dunno what to tell you. Think what you will, I guess, but I didn’t make this up. You really think if I could make a story like this up for attention, I would do something this mundane and boring?

POLITICS Jon Husted Says Poor People Are Dumb

1.7k Upvotes

"People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' because she grew up and has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries. You literally have to teach people how to budget"

Buddy is currently wrapped up in the biggest corruption scandal in Ohio history after taking millions from utility executives to hike prices on Ohioans and WE are the ones who don't know how to navigate the real world.

POLITICS Looking for paid protest work

Hi all, I keep hearing that they're hiring paid protesters to protest Trump. But I cannot seem to figure out who "They" are. I figure I'm protesting things anyway and this seems like a good side gig. My problem is that I cannot seem to find any social media posts, or want ads recruiting protestors. Can anyone hook me up? Any links, anywhere?

I feel like we deserve better than someone defending police immunity, against trans sports, supports Flock cameras and wants more Data centers. I just don’t get it, how is this our candidate?

POLITICS Please, do not endanger my life because of the car I drive. I despise what Tesla has become. If anyone knows a Toyota Dealership who has an honest salesman - I will trade in my Model S for a 2024 Prius. I’m not kidding.

1.3k Upvotes

This is the 3rd incident this week and they’re ramping up. I had to call the cops on a dually truck who ran me off the side of the highway, I had an instance where an SUV didn’t let me safely merge this morning while being flicked off, another car just ignored my turn signal, sped up and pushed into my lane, people have aggressively passing normal for Columbus however, this has been like bumper to bumper close. I’m tired boss.

I don’t mind the constant birds. Fuck Tesla. We are traveling at 70+ MPH - please, do not toy with someone’s life. It’s become such a liability for me to even drive because it’s anxiety inducing. I still have a car payment on this thing. I have tried to sell this stupid vehicle, no one’s actually interested because I’ve been spammed by people trying to waste my time for being a Tesla car owner. (Yes, this a real thing that is happening) I think the reason my car in particular garnishes more attention is possibly my license plate? I think it’s an excellent opportunity for marketing if a local dealership wants to help me out.

I am a Creative Consultant and want nothing to do with this brand. What dealership has a used 2024 Prius in Black who can help me? It looks bitchin’, it serves my eco-friendly goals and it would be embarrassing for Tesla. I build pitch decks for a living. Cash + trade or 1:1 - whatever deal I can find. I think there’s a serious opportunity to cause some upset. And start a powder-keg for losing one of the most recognizable names - to a Prius. Hell yes.

EDIT: Wow! This blew up! Y’all are so nice here too! So, based on feedback - may have to be very selective with what dealership I go for. CV offered a decent amount. I still think this post has demonstrably proven, this could be a sick marketing stunt, if we find a dealer. Especially with my plate. I don’t want to spoil what it is. Going to simply show up to a few doors and bring my creative brain and negotiate! I’m headed to a few this week to see what branches I can shake up! Thanks everyone :) Manifesting some cool shit happening!
