KRON'S Roberts Develops Niche as more People Behaving Badly; Saturday Short
Stanley Roberts-- KRON, (People Behaving Badly), has developed a semi-cult-like following. I gotta admit: I'm sort of hooked myself.
Roberts has a unique voice. First, I thought it was a put-on, but having talked to him on frequent occasions, what you hear is what you get. And in addition to scoping out the Bay Area's traffic morons, he also deals with with the bike people.
I was thinking about the group, Critical Mass--they celebrated their 20-year anniv. on Friday ---and it made me think about this video; a recent funny segment by the PBB-man himself. Don't mess with Roberts.

People that hate Stanley are probably habitual rule breakers that aren't accountable for their actions.
ReplyDeleteI follow the traffic rules (when riding my bike), as we are supposed to. Admittedly, if it's a lightly trafficked area, I have made my share of California Stops, but not when there is a car, another cyclist, or pedestrian at an opposing stop sign; That's stupid.
It's sad that the cyclists that don't think the rules apply to them, give those that do their best to follow the traffic rules a bad name.
Some of these CMers want car drivers to share the road, which, in itself is a completely reasonable request. However, when the rules of said road (shared) are blatantly ignored, all I can do is say: "What the what?!" - Liz Lemon
Sure Liz,and everybody who doesn't agree with CW Nevius is a sidewalk drunk.
DeleteThey could have made a fortune if they only wrote up the Critical Massholes.
ReplyDelete@0:53 "I thought they were yield signs for bicycles."
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
Ha-ha! Just watched a bunch of Stanley's videos because of this story. Thanks for reminding me he's on YouTube (and yup, I don't watch tv).
ReplyDeleteWhats worse then Biker attitude,Cop attitude,and Roberts attitude?..all put together in living color.
ReplyDeleteI never watch..if I have KRON on..I usually leave when they do the pre commercial tease. Roberts "niche" is nothing to admire.
He once was asked by Radnich to meet a young actress Roberts was hot for,as Raddy interviewed her..his anti poor people reputation must precede him,as she just blew him off. She might as well have just said I don't like you.
About yesterday's critical mass celebration: This morning, KGO TV aired a clip of a male cyclist reaching into a car with a female driver and punching her repeatedly in the face. I don't respect anything about this movement and how I feel has everything to do with the disgustingly entitled people who bray about biking and nothing about how I feel about the legitimate right of people to bike safely on city streets.
ReplyDeleteDid you hear what the guy in the white car said? He said in Texas we'd shot you motherfuckers! No matter what side you are on, it's madness. That the SFPD let get out of control!
DeleteHow about if SFPD get on Market and get the Cyclist Red-Light-Runners!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWhen is Stanley going to stake out a "speedtrap"..such as a stop sign that city records show gets an inordinate amount of tickets for the light traffic it carries? Like Maybe Roberts doesn't go in cahoots with the cops for a change and from a hiding spot, films THEM pulling people over for "stops" that were not long enough on a empty road-but actually WERE?
ReplyDeleteI mean,That's just one example I'm sure Stanleyman gets others like that. And NEVER ONCE has he tried to catch cop excesses. Not once.
It's a bad segment on a bad station. Lieberman get a clue.
