Terrible analogy. Bikers and drivers both decide to use a shared roadway and therefore share responsibility for safety. Murder victims don’t decide to participate in their own murder…

Uh the biker that died and this memorial was for was in a bike lane. It wasn’t a shared road.

Are sidewalks part of the road? A few folks eating dinner on a sidewalk patio were run over. I guess they were asking for it.

Did they jump their table through a red light into traffic? Then they might be.

In that case the restaurant has the responsibility to keep their customers safe and they failed to do so. Your argument is still dumb and wrong
