I love how the driver was standing there so casually as if there was nothing wrong at all.... 😂 I mean in my eyes there wasn't.... How come I'm never around when these hilarious things happen??

Yes very true! I've had someone in my life close to me with schizophrenia before. It can be so hard trying to help them navigate life and minimize their bad episodes.

It's a tragic occurrence but if he truly didn't do it on purpose and there was no intoxicating substances in his blood then he's not criminally responsible.

@gfunk63901 well he died in prison so... Maybe he was the easy one to go after but there's no way he did it alone, I'm sure. But most do get away with it. White collar crime is a kajillion-dollar industry here and a tiny fraction are ever pursued or prosecuted.

If you want to talk or you have a question you're welcome to ask me. I've lived out of car at different times before.

@scholaroftheworldalternatehist I mean it's not always obvious at first. Mental illness is an unfortunate reality for some people and sometimes doesn't show for years. Other people's can be well controlled with medication. It's not always something that ruins someone's life.

Yeah but we don't know that. We can't read his mind. He could have looked away for a moment before he realized what was happening and it was too late to stop. Clearly they investigated him and found him not to be criminally culpable. Sounds like just a tragic accident to me.

Now that's one brave guy. God bless him!! That IS a hero!

@PG-3462 he might be worried about leaving his job.

@garyyork1942 those are his family. Apparently you've never loved a pet. You don't just discard them when things get tough.

@donaldlyons17 well even then it can pay, it all depends if you're given the white glove treatment or not. Being priveleged, they often are. But yeah I get you.

WELL, AT LEAST ONE JURY HELD THE GUILTY MURDEROUS RACISTS ACCOUNTABLE THIS WEEK, EVEN WITH THEIR ALMOST COMPLETELY WHT JURY PANEL. I KNOW HIS FAMILY WILL BE ABLE TO FINALLY GET SOME PEACE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THIS ALL HAPPENED.

@dantedomain5891 I live here and you summed up many of the negatives well. There are good things here too, but I agree with you 100%.

I think it's a great idea. The point is to give people options. I think small garages should be included just for the extra storage and use space but other than that I love the idea. Not having huge parking lots and drive Lanes does indeed free up space for more human interaction and alternative use. No one's forced to move here and it's not like this is going to take over every square foot of our communities with nothing else available. It's just an alternative and I hope to see a lot more of these. Right now I drive and I like having access to my car but I definitely support the positive urbanism movement and I want to see it spread. The truth is over the last 60 years we have destroyed so much for the automobile and once you really start learning the facts it's very depressing. To this day our downtown's in many places are greatly hampered by the legacy of being almost half destroyed for literally to build flat voids, AKA parking lots. Wonderful neighborhoods cut right in half and a 10th to a third paved ride over. Cities and the federal government didn't care when they were building these. They rationalize them as a public need. Well it is my opinion that they are NOT. I'm not here to take with anyone's car who wants one I'm just here to provide alternatives. I hope the new positive green urbanism movement catches on and is here to stay. With bulldogs enough for the car it's time to push the car back closer to the margins. Not get rid of it, just relegate it to its proper role, in my opinion.
