Freaked out

By scarredforlife - 03/10/2015 01:13 - Canada - Edmonton

Today, after taking my little niece out onto the balcony of her family's new apartment to enjoy the view, we watched as a man jaywalked across the street down below and was run over by a car. My niece is pretty much traumatized for life now. FML

He really tried to leave his mark on the world... and the pavement.

F both your lives for seeing such a horrific event, but the guy deserved it for jaywalking. It's not funny or cool to jaywalk, when there's a crosswalk only mere feet/meters away. I've hit two jaywalkers in the dead of night, so I know how the driver feels.

Maybe you should not be driving, if you've hit two people. You're supposed to pay attention to the road. Unless they jumped out right in front of you, there is no excuse to hit someone.

#30, how do you conclude that he shouldn't be driving because of that? I'm assuming it's not his fault because it was dead of night, and the people he hit were jaywalking. Most of the time, in those cases, drivers can't see the people til it's too late, especially since the majority of people usually don't dress in the proper attired to make themselves visible at night.

The scumbag shouldn't be driving based solely on the fact that he thinks someone deserves to have possibly been killed just because they crossed the street incorrectly. Also wouldn't surprise me if he hit those people as a result of excessive speeding and the jaywalkers misjudged how quickly he would get to them.

They *deserve* it for jaywalking? I hope you don't ever emigrate to England, because the culture and law here is to cross wherever you like. So I am really confused at this entire thing.

And this is the danger of jaywalking- thank you OP for teaching an important lesson.

I swear the people in my state are the worst when it comes to not using crosswalks. I see people cross busy intersections in a completely unsafe way (with kids sometimes) when there's a damn crosswalk maybe twenty feet away.

Never let a good tragedy go to waste! It'll be a great learning opportunity to stop, look, and listen before crossing at designated crosswalks!

Don't worry, I watched someone's head get taken off by a car in front of me when I was 4... After a little while they'll completely have forgotten everything about it

She'll be ok as long as you didn't over react. That's what really traumatizes kids. When they see the adults, that are supposed to be the stability in their lives loosing their shit. If you down play it like it was nothing too outside the ordinary the kid won't know that its something to be traunatized about.
