America is such a shithole.

Absolutely. Lost my job recently and started having to drive again and let me tell you every single driver is some form of psychotic. It’s insane.

If the pedestrian had a gun, this never would have happened.

Idk, the crosswalk would be still unarmed - needs some movement-sensor gun turrets.

I'm 75% sure that this is sarcastic and the upvoters believe this is sarcastic.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 14 points 16 hours ago

I would say it's "tongue in cheek". Sarcasm, irony, absurdity of reality, all packaged together.

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

Yep, you’re correct!

The rest of the world doesn't live like this.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, we Germans would've run him over.

[–] erdem@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago

I know a few Dutch drivers who would peobably run over a guy if the guy was the one actually violating the rules then sue the guys family too lol

Have you considered… more ballrooms?

[–] TrollTrollrolllol@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Give more money to the wealthy, that always helps with problems!

A lot the world does, however, have to live with the constant threat of being bombed by our military or a military that our taxes fund.

Almost like the violence we export to other countries comes back home to our own culture and society.

glad I live in Canada where if I do this, when somebody nearly murders me in a crosswalk after they blow the stop line on a red light, that the worst that'll happen is they'll try to get me to come back into traffic and fight them, but they'll be too pussy to pull over and park and come over to me.

As the pedestrian began walking away, the gunman, wearing a black hat and a black and white striped jumpsuit, parked on Canal Street and began following the 42-year-old before pulling out a handgun and shooting him in the left leg, police said.

He'd best get used to wearing that kind of clothing for a while.

Kicking or hitting a car that’s almost run you over is a hard instinct to stop. Like, I don’t bang on them or anything in anger, but just the instinct to fling out an arm or a leg to shove it back is intense if you’ve never been caught unaware by it. Escalating to shooting over that is nuts, also kind of nuts that he was in an actual car and not an emotional support truck, which is the kind of vehicle I usually expect the terminally carbrained to drive.
