Our tax dollars at work smh

I posted this to my instagram yesterday evening and i have to share it with my fellow steemers. I'll probably get more support from my steemers than my IGers.

I'm stuck in NYC traffic trying to get back home to Jersey (cross the Holland tunnel). It's bumper to bumper, intersections blocked, crosswalks blocked. Cars honking like crazy. 15 minutes before i recorded this video i had an incident where a driver trying to cross an intersection almost ran into me because he didnt want to wait for the light to change. Literally tried to go on red while i had the green light and almost t-boned me. I lost my cool and i flipped out on him. I'm with my daughter, i felt horrible afterwards because she doesnt need to see nor hear that.

So in this vid you'll see i'm at another intersection on Canal street in Manhattan. I look over to the side and what do i find? A crossing guard chilling on the corner doing nothing at all. Traffic was barely moving, i was stuck at that interesection for a minimum of 10 minutes. check out the video and you'll see what happens...

After i get his attention, he gets nasty and starts foul mouthing me, cursing, etc. He even said "i'm the type of person that deseved to get killed by cops". I wish i wouldve kept the camera rolling to catch everything, but you guys have to understand i have a really bad temper that i'm working on daily. It's why i only preach love and positivity. It's a battle every day, but the devil won't defeat me. So the only thing i could do is roll up my window and ignore him. Remember my 3 yr old daughter is in the backseat. She doesn't need to hear the guy's foul language either.

So i ask everyone to share this and help it go semi viral, because if this guy mails me a ticket for some bullshit, when i go to court to fight it i hope the judge is already familar with the situation.

Check out the video on instagram, repost and help it get noticed. My user name on instagram is the same, youngogmarqs.

Wow, I hate traffic...

Keep working on that temper thing, OG Marqs!
It gets better, with persistence ;) Be a good example
to your daughter!

Good looks for the wise words fam. Im trying. Stay blessed

The farther away I am from a metropolis, the happier I seem to be.

I wish I could comment on your tag line "Once people realize that it's harder to mine for truth than bitcoins, they'll come flocking to STEEM." I like it.
