Ever been out driving in a parking lot and there is some dumb ass that just decides he doesn't need to yield to you? I have.

Right, so next time a group of people cross in front of my car illegally, I will hit then like bowling pins just because I can. Hell they are in the road in my f*ckin way:roll:

WHOOSH! That was Common Sense flying right over your head.... not to mention you just committed a massive logical fallacy.

That is not what happened. That is a piss poor attempt to justify this ass*s actions.

It is exactly what happened. People walked out onto a driving avenue and expected to not be confronted with a car. I will just chalk this as another fail at logic for you. ;)

The whoosh is that you don't seem to get that they placed themselves in harms way... the logical FAIL is that you attributed condoning running a person over for simply being in the road.

I know. People leaving a football game were in the fuc*in road so I ran them over since they put themselves in harms way.

It wasn't a freeway

As I implied, you'll have to put more effort into it.

Fine... although an avenue that cars drive on is in both situations, I will let you off. Now, why don't you go sit out in the middle of a busy intersection.

You don't get it. I never said it was OK to run them over, you are all over the place. I said that they put themselves in a dangerous situation. You said to sangha that an obvious point was being ignored. Why are you contradicting yourself and ignoring this FACT? It says a lot about your ability to comprehend and debate... no offense.

Your, "actually I can because it is on the video" repeat crap is the trolling.

The video starts with the car behind another and no pedestrian can be seen doing anything to the car until after he hits a few pedestrians.

You're going to have to come up with something better than your speculative "It could have happened"

You said a "freeway" not a "driving avenue"

And people walk onto "driving avenues" every day without being hit by a car. Expecting to not be hit is what should be expected.

I'm not all over the place. Unless this guy was blind or stupid, there is no reason he should have drove into this crowd.

As a NYer, I have been in the middle of busy intersections hundreds of times. Never got hit by a car so why should I expect to get hit by a car?

It wasn't a dangerous situation. They were there in plain sight of all the drivers.

You not agreeing with his reason does not mean that he does not have a valid reason. As I pointed out and you have ignored... driving through the crowd is not illegal.

I'm glad you stopped Henrin.

A comparable situation to this is that near where I used to work people would decide to protest right in the middle of a road that went through the woods where street lights are no where to be found and sunlight struggles to reach. They would start their protest when it was still dark out well before the sun came up right around a sharp corner that you couldn't see around. They could have easily been killed and honestly I'm amazed I didn't hear of any stories of them being run over.
