Dear Philly: This is why we can’t have nice things.
Take a look at these two tweets, sent 11 hours apart from each other by Lauren Pearson, a purported nurse practitioner who was apparently frustrated by traffic that was stopped by die-in protestors after last night’s Eagles game. (You can see a recap of the animosity protestors faced here.)
Traffic is a NIGHTMARE leaving the Eagles game because of those #DieIn protestors. I hope they get run the fuck over. Asshole losers

Then, this morning, the same Twitter user tweeted about how sad she is that John Lennon’s vision for peace in the world didn’t come to fruition. Quick show of hands, who thinks Lennon would probably have been laying down with the protestors in the street?
34 years ago today. Too bad his vision for our world never came to fruition. RIP pic.twitter.com/3kAqUyJFEc — Lauren Pearson (@LaurenAPN) December 8, 2014
Hat tip to City Paper, which gathered a bunch of ridiculous tweets from people who hoped protestors would get run over.
