Jeff Jacoby Is A Dirty Sleaze Bag Who Tries To Get Attention When Cyclists Die
Written by Boston Biker on Jun 29It seems Jeff Jacoby, resident murderous goon at the Globe, likes to make stupid public statements after cyclists are killed to try and squeeze just a little more attention for himself and his horrific view points. I wrote way back in 2015 how stupid he was for doing this, and at the time he got a huge amount of push-back.
Seems he has learned only bad lessons from this behaviour, as he is once again trying to capitalize on the recent death of Amanda Philips.
It would appear from the twitter responses though that the internet is no longer taking any of his shit.
here is his masterful insight on display…
First suggestion is to get priorities straight. Motor traffic is vital to Boston life & commerce. Bicycles aren’t. https://t.co/Rnk0dwDWlv

The universal reaction to him was pretty much “what the fuck are you talking about Jeff?”

@Jeff_Jacoby You are completely wrong. Public transit is way more important. And you don't get bikes, at all.

@Jeff_Jacoby Exactly backwards. Prioritizing vulnerable road users is the proven way to increase safety https://t.co/TiVyeBcWkK

@Jeff_Jacoby @JWLevitt @MBTA Shouldn't the priority be to move people, not cars?

@Jeff_Jacoby this is laughable. Really. Laughable.

@Jeff_Jacoby @JWLevitt @MBTA this is an unsupportable hot take: cycling imperative to future of urban transit. Cars logistic nightmare.
