Please please stop defending cars over people šŸ™ we build this whole city for cars and now we get the results we wanted out of it.

The infrastructure being bad and this woman being a fucking idiot are not mutually exclusive concepts. You know what I do when a street is unsafe to cross? I don't cross it, no matter how much I want a damn cheesesteak

Driving a car on Henry Ave at an uncontrolled intersection is 100% legal.

Crossing 4 lanes of travel on foot with no traffic controls is not.

Please please stop defending idiots who want a cheesesteak over people just trying to get home šŸ™.

I feel like I need to repeat that the people doing this by and large drove there and didnā€™t feel like finding parking. Itā€™s more convenient for some reason to park across the street and try to run across rather than walk a little further to Walnut and wait to cross. Thatā€™s objectively their fault.

I understand no one really deserves to get hit by a car but at what point do you put some blame on people running across a dangerous busy street for the sake of a fucking cheesesteak?

If somebody I knew got hit doing this, yes, Iā€™d be sad for them. But I wouldnā€™t remove their responsibility from the equation.

I sit in the passenger seat most days and watch other drivers. At least 50% of these mfers are texting behind the wheel. The other half decided that red lights are stop signs and they can disregard and and all driving rules. I have no sympathy left for most drivers. The woman, however, is now dead.
