"Facebook post by OB Boris Palmer: Motorcyclist reportedly had his brain removed after scooter accident"
In the picturesque town of Tübingen, Germany, a heated debate has erupted over the issue of improperly parked E-Scooters. Boris Palmer, the independent Mayor of Tübingen, has taken to social media to express his frustration, causing a stir among residents and beyond.
Last Sunday, Mayor Palmer shared a photo on Facebook and Instagram, showing two E-Scooters blocking a garage entrance and a sidewalk. The rental devices, a growing issue in Tübingen, were parked in such a way as to obstruct pedestrian traffic and access to the garage. In his post, Mayor Palmer questioned, "Can even brainless people use these scooters?"
The statement has sparked a lively discussion on social media, with many residents expressing their agreement with the Mayor's sentiment. However, others have defended the E-Scooters, arguing that they provide a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transport.
Mayor Palmer has also reported the incident to the local authority, who impose fines on operators of E-Scooters in such cases, which they pass on to users. The Mayor has further questioned why people who cannot move the E-Scooters should clean up the mess, while the culprits can do whatever they want.
In a subsequent post, Mayor Palmer addressed a question to "idiots" who ask if he would move the E-Scooters, explaining that they are noisy and heavy and cannot be moved easily by elderly people, wheelchair users, or parents with strollers.
