I Almost Saw a Child Die Last Saturday

16 years ago, I pitted a fool for dragging two kids into moving traffic:

@Skywatcher

You really thought crossing in the middle of traffic was a good idea?! Yes, the light was red. Could you not have waited for traffic to actually stop? The woman you were with did. Better yet, how’s about using the damn crosswalk? Nooooo, you decided to venture out into moving traffic and cuss out all the drivers who didn’t stop for your lazy ass.

Why am I talking to you? Did it ever occur to your miniscule brain that it might be for the benefit of them kids to know you’re not supposed to be crossing in the middle of traffic? I noticed the woman didn’t say anything. You got her and the kids scared of you or what? At least she has the sense to wait on the median instead of crossing while the traffic is still moving!

I hope I did some good today. Maybe those kids will learn the guy, who is presumably their father, is not a good example to follow. Better still, maybe when they’re teenagers they’ll put you in your place! I hope they at least won’t turn into a whole fuckin’ family of assholes.
