Reply to comment by proviethrow in How can we advocate for pedestrian safety? by mkspo

I don't know why you're getting downvoted when you're absolutely right. People fucking fly down North Main and act like nothing else exists.

This comment is getting downvoted (not by me, fwiw) because despite what I assume the intended meaning was, the language of suicidal pedestrians vs homicidal motorists is off-putting and pretty perfectly illustrates the mindset that causes these pedestrian deaths in the first place. The car-centricity of our built environments is literally killing tens of thousands per year and yet we immediately (intentionally or not) blame or implicate the pedestrian and not the motorist/urban planner/city rep/state rep whenever a fatality occurs.
