He’s gonna live with the fact that some mom let her 7 year old run out into traffic… that’s not exactly his fault. He’s probably fuckin traumatized now because she was a terrible parent.
Let’s start with maybe, I dunno, not letting 7 year old kids go out and play near 4 lane busy roads or something? Maybe supervise your fucking kids though?
Driver did nothing wrong, the kid jumped into the road, the fuck is he supposed to do there.
That’s not the point, pixeldick
Cars have always been fucking death machines since their adoption, killing pedestrians at especially high rates. Since their introduction, this has always pissed people off with any real common sense.
We give up our streets entirely to them, put up with infrastructure increasingly hostile towards foot and cycle travel, scarcely enforce traffic laws, and treat driving like it’s a constitutional right.
We are long overdue for reworking our approach to transportation. Instead we’re stuck with incompetent lawmakers who are corrupted by industry bribes, and propped up by dipshits like you with your heads jammed up your asses.
All they had to do was use the fucking crosswalk. Instead the stupid kid is dead.
No one said otherwise.
Cars and roads sucking doesn’t mean the mother’s behavior is excused. Full stop.
You literally are acknowledging it’s a death trap, and surely you must then agree that a parent who let’s their children go play near the fucking death trap unsupervised is obviously being negligent.
You don’t get to go “roads are death traps, and because they’re death traps parents get off scott free if they let their children die to them”
No, in fact, it makes their behavior obviously worse because they should KNOW it was a bad idea
Interesting that you frame a parent losing their child in a tragic accident as “getting off scot free”. There’s a huge difference between a mistake and being criminally negligent. Clearly our opinions differ in this, and I find yours ghoulish.
