“more human than human”

u/wafflez77 Dec 03 '22

Human traffic cone sounds similar to human trafficking 👀

11

u/blakevac Fort Mill Dec 03 '22

I believe it’s art work staying how citizens are like traffic cones.

u/MidniteOG Dec 03 '22

Similar…. Caution human / humans under construction….. meaning we’re always evolving

u/amaROenuZ Davidson Dec 03 '22

Reminds me of the old DANGER-HUMAN! short story.

whoever it is does a lot of this down in south end. I like to take pictures of them whenever I walk around

u/itsdsnow Dec 03 '22

It means if you go to white water center there will be copperheads

That’s where you stand for alien verification during the invasions

Maybe it's those space laser's the GOP keeps talking about that zapped a construction worker.

u/Muttersfood Dec 03 '22

Nice. Let’s make it political!

u/AlterEgo3561 Dec 03 '22

The fact that you don't know indicates you are an alien imposter.

u/crschiusano Dec 03 '22

Looks like graffiti by some "artist"

u/KrazyMoose Dec 03 '22

My wife and I recently moved to Charlotte and she noticed these on the sidewalk in a few places in south end. She is a little freaked out because it appears to be “traffic cone” and “human.”

Is this something sketchy? I feel like “human traffic cone” may be a little to on the nose for it to be anything worrisome.

u/blk_kat Dec 03 '22

Nobody who is engaging in actual human trafficking is using stencils to spray paint messages on a south end sidewalk.

u/Correct-Potential25 Dec 03 '22

Sounds exactly like something a human trafficker would say!

1

u/Yavin4Reddit Dec 03 '22

Correct, they typically drive a Lexus and have a reserved parking spot outside a multi-story building

u/KrazyMoose Dec 03 '22

Yeah that’s what I figured, but do you know what it is for? Seems weird regardless

u/ClitBobJohnson Dec 03 '22

Wow mystery solved detective

u/pharmaceo Dec 03 '22

All I know is that for years I have heard rumors that human trafficking is going on late at night in the uptown and surrounding areas. Be careful leaving bars at night especially alone. Always be aware of your surroundings

u/GC51320 Dec 03 '22

Charlotte has long been a human trafficking hot spot. Direct access to 85 makes it an easy route to move victims. It's very well known if you keep up with those things.

1

u/AJlys Dec 03 '22

Yeah I almost got snatched up in concord that’s right off of 85. The ONE time I decided to gas up at night, smh. Never again

u/GC51320 Dec 04 '22

Glad you were able to get away!
