On weaponization of bicycles in rhode island

In a recent piece published in the providence urinal which can be seen below providence city leaders are acknowledging how punks and other troublemakers are using bicycles and scooters provided by uber, bird, and lime are being used as weapons and to menace people

Notice how pukie clements is overfocusing on the issue of those devices being stolen and disposed of as trash, the former by groups like critical mass and other thugs using them as weapons to spread terror, the latter by outraged people who live in fear of those thugs seeking to deprive them of weapons.  Additionally they only quote on member of the city council and downplay concerns the majority of people have, showing that the urinal, while trying to report real news, is pandering to these thugs.
