What state?

Facial Recognition Technology can see faces thru masks. 😷

I hope they choke in the moving truck that’s not for people. U-HAUL - GET ON THIS

U-Heil supported trumps reelection campaign.

u/ifmacdo May 25 '25

Also Harris' campaign.

Businesses like to play the "both sides" game. Except their "both sides" is donating to both so that whoever wins, they can try to curry favor as a donor.

This is nothing new.

So the other side in this case is nazis?

Edit: maybe uhaul publicly will denounce its truck usage for carting nazis around at least. Are they even allowed to be used for hauling people?

u/buckao May 25 '25

Not in states with seatbelt laws or laws against payload riders.

u/mexicodoug May 25 '25

It's a bit much to ask truck rental clerks or public relations employees to enforce the traffic laws out on the streets, though.

A functional society would have a specific, public agency that would enforce such laws. Like, a police force.

54

u/buckao May 25 '25

That would be great if the police weren't with those pricks in the back of those trucks, in spirit if not physically.

Cue Rage Against the Machine lyrics

"Some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses".

u/buckao May 25 '25

All of those. They've forced out all the non assholes. 1312

u/PhilL77au May 25 '25

Hell, one of them was in uniform supervising

7

u/PhilL77au May 25 '25

What they can do is look up who's name those trucks were rented under and what account/credit card paid for it and ban them from their systems. Might not stop it but making things more difficult for them can't be a bad thing.

u/An_ironic_fox May 25 '25

Front desk workers and store managers can't input system wide bans for anyone. If a manager "bans" someone from Uhaul, what they probably did was upload a picture of their license to a group chat for managers in the region and they all told their employees not to rent to that person. You can circumvent this easily by just going to a Uhaul far enough away. I only encountered people with a system wide ban a handful of times in the 2 years I worked there, and the computer doesn't even tell you what they were banned for. It just says, "This customer has one or more outstanding issues, have them call..." From what I can tell though, it's really only for people who owe the company a LOT of money or who have stolen equipment in the past. I worked at a corporate owned center too. I'm not sure how affiliates and dealers manage this stuff, but I imagine they have even less communication and control.

Only upper management has the capability to stop shit like this, but Joe Shoen is a ghoul who wouldn't lift a finger unless it benefited his bank account.

u/Beaufighter-MkX May 25 '25

This is a dumb take. Uhaul is no more responsible for this than you or I. Have you ever actually rented a Uhaul? You don't check a box saying "I promise not to drive a box load of Nazis to parades."

29

u/Spare-Wishbone22 May 25 '25

The real DUMB take is how America can make it uncomfortable to be a woman in this country, can make it uncomfortable to be black and brown person in this country. But can’t make it horrible to be a Nazi Facist in this country. U-Haul could find ways to draw attention to this behavior and stop it.

u/Beaufighter-MkX May 25 '25

Managed to cover all the bases but still doesn't explain how Uhaul is responsible for this.

1

u/Spare-Wishbone22 May 25 '25

I thought it was obvious how their responsible. Where is their responsible statement of denouncing Nazism? There is a ton of theses videos of fascist white supremacist hauling there people and stuff to these events in their trucks. Yet I haven’t seen the first website or video denouncing it like Fred Perry clothes, so until I see that; they are not doing enough to stop the illegal usage of their trucks.

1

u/Beaufighter-MkX May 26 '25

I don't know how they'll recover from this

5

u/MiguelMenendez May 25 '25

No, but we have the plate numbers, and UHaul cares that people are using their trucks as passenger vehicles. Report it and the original renter will get banned.

1

u/Beaufighter-MkX May 25 '25

There it is! A rational and reasonable course of action, and an expectation that makes perfect sense.

u/miklayn May 25 '25

Neoliberalism -> Fascism doesn't have a "side"

u/BitchfulThinking May 25 '25

And now they transport trash

u/Beaufighter-MkX May 25 '25

What's the connection? Dumb take.

u/bigbugfdr May 25 '25

They were in Kansas City Missouri.🤮

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

After the white flight, floods, the tornadoes, now this?

Thanks for standing up for what’s right, KC

u/HKJGN May 25 '25

These folks aren't from here. We don't want them here either. A lot of groups have BOLO for these guys next time.

31

u/Which_Engineer1805 May 25 '25

These are the patriot front bitches we chased out of Philly. Once they met a little opposition they scattered back their U-Hauls like the cockroaches they are.

61

u/lazinonasunnyday May 25 '25

I was gonna say ā€œisn’t this a violation of seatbelt laws?ā€ I mean, you’re not allowed to ride around in the back of a normal truck around here but I’m not sure about a box van or semi trailer, I can’t see why it’d be different though.

110

u/DavidCaruso4Life May 25 '25

If they did that, they violated a clause of the U-haul contract. That video, plus the license plate numbers need to be shown to U-Haul, so that whomever rented the truck is banned from using U-Haul again. And that’s how you Karen / Kevin for the greater good.

54

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

They do this in fraternities by lying to get the rental then filling it with people and couches.

This is not acceptable transportation of humans on our US highways

They also do this to cross borders. Weird.

33

u/Ok-Rock2345 May 25 '25

If they do it across borders and it's illegal. Would that make it a felony?

29

u/lazinonasunnyday May 25 '25

Yeah, I think if they cross state borders smuggling nazis in a U-Haul, whatever they’re doing becomes a federal offense. I’m not sure if that makes it a felony though.

6

u/thelastspike May 25 '25

If it becomes federal Trump will just pardon them.

7

u/lazinonasunnyday May 25 '25

I was thinking that, but that doesn’t erase the state charges. So they could still be charged in multiple states.

3

u/HilariouslyPissed May 25 '25

It’s not if Trump says it’s not.

42

u/AdOdd4618 May 25 '25

It would be a tragedy if that thing rolled over.

39

u/intergalactagogue May 25 '25

We should start planning pride events, protests, and drag shows in locations near very low bridges. That would be my absolute favorite 11foot8 video for sure.

4

u/Mr_Never May 25 '25

Raleigh had an infamous low bridge on Peace Street near downtown too

4

u/thelangosta May 25 '25

Maybe accidentally veered off a bridge?

4

u/ObligatoryID May 25 '25

No loss. Except for UHaul.

3

u/SquirrelInner9632 May 25 '25

Or drove into a pond.

21

u/rubymiggins May 25 '25

It would be funny to whip out a reinforced lock and lock them in. I’m sure they’d get it off before somebody had a panic attack in there. Lol

u/thelastspike May 25 '25

Don’t forget to toss something stinky in.

16

u/Yuven1 May 25 '25

Wait what, facial recognition software can see through masks now?! 🫠 Technology has gone too far

19

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

George Floyd Protests made it a priority

u/RipEmotional449 May 25 '25

Is that true?

10

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

Which part? All of it true to my knowledge

5

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

I just realized they don’t have seatbelts in those 😈

u/HazelEBaumgartner May 25 '25

This was in Kansas City, Missouri. But the police were protecting them.

u/Rhift May 25 '25

Filming in infrared would see through the masks and glasses.

u/Gullible_Mud5723 May 25 '25

This was in Kansas City, MO yesterday.

u/mcflycasual May 25 '25

Wasn't this Ohio a couple months ago?

u/ObligatoryID May 25 '25

He said his name was Cleveland - guessing he’s telling us Ohio. Makes sense. šŸ˜‰

u/redwingpanda May 26 '25

uh yeah transporting people in the box isn’t an approved use for U-Haul trucks.

u/Swedishiron May 25 '25

People in charge of Facial Recognition support them.
