Darn. Most of your posts are interesting. And then you go and waste 10,000 milliseconds of my time with a post like this. :)

Being shot by a stray bullet is a far worse outcome and that's what happens when incompetents a allowed to arm themselves.

When one knows how not to make themselves a target through demonstrated respect for others issues like that simply don't arise.

That's about it. Lack of respect for everyone, inequality and economic stress are what leads to problems like that. Attitudes like his feed that monster.

I agree with you about the cars. Yet I don't see banning them as a solution either, excluding midtown/downtown Manhattan weekdays as even slightly feasible.

Nope. Experience proves my POV out. Yours is why there's so many problems.

I agree, banning cars is not a solution, not even weekdays in midtown.

But just because there's no easy solution doesn't mean it isn't a serious problem. My life is just as messed up whether the messing is done by some punkl's fist or my a guy behind the wheel.

Everything is black or white in CMM land. Nuance is banned.

If the answers aren't bite-sized, he won't eat.

Knockout is not an accident. It's a deliberate act.

It's not my problem that black youth in this country have such a hard time not acting like animals.

You have a well documented history of declaring that people are wrong because they misunderstand information presented when, in fact, it was you who failed to understand it.

Knockout is still far less likely to happen than an "accident."

He doesn't care. If a self-involved punk seriously injures you, that's a tragedy (and I agree). If a self-involved middle class jerk can't pay enough attention to yield to a pedestrian*, well, shit happens, and happens often. Like 10,000 times per year in NYC.


* Very few pedestrian injuries are caused by jaywalking, because those pedestrians are usually paying close attention. Most are caused by things like failure to yield when making a turn.

Probably because the perpetrators of the knockout game have a different skin color and lower average family income than the perpetrators of criminally negligent homicide by motor vehicle.

Perpetrators of the knockout game aren't homogeneous. Probably right about average family income, though.

For example, there would be no issue of the knockout game being played.

There is no issue of the knockout game being played because the "knockout game" is an urban legend invented by paranoid wingnuts.

So if you were in charge, what would you do to make the city a better place?
