Another deadly ramming into crowd by lunatic driver.

When they woke up?
Make people safe! Install (explosive?) anti-car concrete barriers.

      My dad hit a pedestrian when I was around 7ish just to prove a point about right of way and jaywalking.

      There was room in the intersection but he sped up and started yelling about right of way and how people were idiots. I didn’t see exactly what happened because I was in a carseat but as we passed through the intersection the car gets whacked by something and I hear a hard THUNK.

      He didn’t say anything but looked through his rear view and muttered “moron”. Looking back on that ordeal as an adult, he definitely clipped that pedestrian and kept driving too. I thought maybe the pedestrian got mad and slapped the car as we passed but there was no way that would make sense.

          No he committed an assortment of financial fraud using government grants and funds and fled to Russia. Haven’t talked to him in over 10 years. Much better for it to be honest.

          i made a joke like that yesterday. my partner and i were arriving at our camp site and my gf said “mind those kids” and i said “but they’re extra points”

          it’s just dark humor

          The number of children i have intentionally run over is… minimal

      When I’m walking, running, biking… I always assume that the cars are actively trying to murder me and I have to move in such a way that they can’t get me even if they tried. It’s not too far from reality.
