Traffic violence, death, profanity
Nothing seems to trigger carbrain more than pictures that illustrate the danger that modern-day pick-up trucks and SUVs pose to children.
It's amazing how defensive some people get about their so-called right to drive death machines on public streets.
Yet another child's life lost because of our collective refusal to put a stop to this nonsense.
Outside a fucking children's museum.

Traffic violence, death, profanity
The photo I posted here last week of my child, standing in front a lifted GMC Sierra parked in the street near our house--a street we are forced to walk in because we have no sidewalks, despite being in spitting distance of a school and a playground--has made the rounds on reddit, 4chan, and numerous other social sites I did not know existed.
The response seems to have been mostly, surprisingly, positive...

...but OMFW the literal death threats my kid and I received once the trolls found my twitter handle. We deserve to die simply because neither of us is tall enough to see over the hood of a truck. Because we dare try to point out the risks these ridiculous vehicles and their drivers impose on us just for wanting to walk down our own street.
Literal death threats.

@DrTCombs Utterly disgusting. I bet these people would still drive were their licence revoked, too.

How many children actually have to die before we stop this? It could easily have been my child, doing everything right--using the crossing, looking both ways, and looking both ways again, following the walk signal--and still getting fucking run over because somebody decided their "right" to drive a killing machine on a public street was more important than a child's life.
