That's possible, but what does it say about a culture that would put human beings in the same space as two-ton vehicles without any consideration for them?

Something that really bugs me is that road conditions, defined by weather, debris, and other impediments or activities like enforcement, require drivers to slow and drive with caution, but not the presence of pedestrians, not even on residential streets without sidewalks.

They're demonstrating they can kill anyone anywhere anytime and all they have to do is say "terrorist" to justify it. And they will widen the noose until Americans are shot dead in the streets. Because today they're brown people in Venezuela the media examines the narrative not the morality or law.

Every day #DougFord tells drivers it's okay to speed. And if 10 or 20 over is okay, why not 10 or 20 above that? He's effectively raised the speed limit on every road. The school zone is now a 50. The #Ontario govt stands with criminals against communities. #onpoli

I noted a motor vehicle was going at 212 kph, so surely the driver should walk free, also a victim of his errant automobile.

A Bronx family lived without utilities for over 6 weeks after they were shut off without explanation.

The landlord, despite receiving severe violation notices, didn't fix the problem.

HPD couldn’t turn the utilities back on, so it issued the family a vacate order.

These Bronx Tenants Lived Six Weeks Without Water and Power. The City’s Fix? A Vacate Order

The plight of the Ramos family reveals the weaknesses in the City's system to protect tenants from unlivable conditions—and from being put out on the street.
