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.
