At a used car lot on the other side of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo...
Folly, a second post where this is applicable.
It says the driver is a seventeen year old girl. Hmm…
Rocklin’s one of CA’s few remaining conservative areas, but you knew that.
When bad things happen to good people.
Situational Awareness, my FRiends.
Learn it. Live it. Love it.
Situational Awareness keeps you from having to "cooperate with authorities".
This ranks up there with a Tampa local story ...
Trooper shuts down interstate traffic to facilitate ducks crossing highway.
How much greater is there a chance of an accident from stopped traffic when stupidity rules one’s brain?
Lucky man died doing what he loved.
lucky ducks
Some ducks are more vicious than others.
Aw, that is heartbreaking!
Sending up a prayer for that man’s loved ones and for those who witnessed this horribly sad occurrence.
That kind man is in the Lord’s arms now.
Sad, but still a Darwin award winner. He is clearly walking against a no walking sign, and very possibly a red light.
If he was rushing to pull a toddler out of the street = hero.
Saving ducklings, no. Just stupid.
When around traffic, always assume the drivers are distracted, high, or incompetent. Do not trust them. A crosswalk provides no protection.
It is shocking to see how many people cross a street without looking.
Condolences to this man’s family and friends.
OODA loop not in use.
RIP kind soul and may your family find peace through this.
My wife and I, in our Suburban with 6 kids, watch as a mom duck and family began to cross a 4 lane. The light turned green and mom, one whole duckling and one lamé duckling , out of about a dozen, made it.
I would bet a lot of money the 17-year old was on her phone.
This is what happens when animals become more important than people. Recall a recent post telling how a guy caused a massive accident by stopping for a crossing turtle. And then there’s all the pit bull horror stories.
The man tragically believed the thoughts and actions of all others in that situation were aligned with what this man deemed to be the most important action at that time, or their thoughts and actions were suspended from his reality.
The young woman driving had not yet learned that despite all the promises of the state motor vehicle division, common sense, logic, and reason, her belief that other adults would measure their behavior with safety in mind simply wasn't true. The state refuses to publish truths in the drivers' manual and drivers' education courses that many other drivers and pedestrians may be completely unaware of the risks they pose to themselves and to others.
Wow. I used to live over near there about 22 years ago. Sad.
