“I cannot in good mind declare the young man at fault.”
__________________________________________
Yes, I did write it.
I stand by it.
It goes back to my viewpoint of the folks in the roadway/highway.
For that split second that ended up harming them, I am not going to fault the driver.
As I said, earlier, justice will be dealt to him.
Let me put it this way. If my own children are going to stand in a roadway/highway and they get hit by a vehicle I will not blame the driver for that particular act. My children will have brought upon themselves consequences they did not foresee. The law can handle the driver for the actions heading up to that point. My children would still bear responsibility. It doesn’t mean I wouldn’t grieve the loss, it simply means they were part of the equation.
Yes, my children have been raised with the knowledge of how I view placing oneself in the line of danger when it’s not needed.
I agree with you. Pedestrians are not supposed to be on the highway for this very reason. More blood on the hands of local politicians and police.
