Not Unsafe

As I read the story of the Wisconsin Girl Scouts murdered by a pickup truck careening off the road and into a ditch where the girls were picking up trash I was startled by this quote:

Not an unsafe area.

Hard to imagine anywhere less safe if you are a human not clothed in an automobile. Because of tragedies we’ve experienced in this area I’ve looked up data on things like people hit by motor vehicles while getting the mail on a suburban or rural street, or on children run over by cars while playing in a driveway; anyplace cars move is a dangerous place.

    Ex_Coworker on why he refuses to ride the local trains (BART):

    “But, but gangs of melanin-enhanced youths might assault you while on public transit!!!!!111!!”

    (I pointed out to my coworker the DAILY mayhem on the local freeway system.

    He just did not “get it”. He is so wrapped up in the autosexual mentality that the reality and threat awareness is askew.
