Watch out, my Brit friends. The language here in the states takes hold subtly. If you post that to other sites you’ll get these (serious) reponses
- Why were they in the street?
- Where were the parents?
- The driver can’t help it if they run in front of it
There is zero remorse or compassion from drivers - and it’s well known the larger the car the less compassion they have for a vehicle death. They see it as unavoidable that if a child is in the road that they are in an accident. They shouldn’t have been there. There’s nothing that could be done. The parents should have been there to stop it. This rhetoric is coming for your country too. After all, the car companies love these arguments.
@scrubbles @mondoman712 Car company propaganda 100 years ago started these arguments. Prior to the invention of “jaywalking,” there was broad consensus that streets were public spaces for civic life including children’s play and motorists who barreled through them with entitlement to kill whatever got in their way were the bad guys.
