Yes. Why would our heart bleed for consequences that he brought upon himself. Should he survive there will still be damages to property, physical and emotional welfare will have to be compensated, and hopefully the time of others he has wasted.I Have No Idea said:
This is going to make me sound terrible, and I'll probably get some hate for it, but-
A 15 year old kid from here in Austin (I didn't know him, but one of my friends who I'm no longer in touch with did) was killed after getting hit by a car. His parents said he was running out into the street, a large and busy street, without paying attention. I honestly couldn't feel bad about it. It's like reading the Darwin Awards.

Yes. Why shouldn't we be happy that nobody died and that even more traumatizing emotional damages could have happened?somonels said:
Seriously. This horrendously childish "Dumbass got what he deserved" attitude needs to stop. Wasted time? Really? That's the least of their concerns.

You're telling me to get the fuck off because I'm a human being who is glad that no one was fatally injured? I know this is internet, but I thought the Escapist was a bit better than all that.Dr. wonderful said:...I Have No Idea said:

Maybe he was just trying to get across so he could get to school on time and didn't look carefully enough. But the way you described it, if traffic was moving at such a slow pace, he should have been able to see any incoming cars and cross safely. My guess is that somebody got angry and decided to speed into the parking lot like the big-hard retarded teenage driver they probably are.
Joke, man. It was a joke.I Have No Idea said:You're telling me to get the fuck off because I'm a human being who is glad that no one was fatally injured? I know this is internet, but I thought the Escapist was a bit better than all that.Dr. wonderful said:...I Have No Idea said:

I always do that to someone who ask why The Escapist acts like jerks. Besides, the Escapist so call fourm memebers are not the "last bastion of intelligence on the Internet" because if they are? God help us all.
But hey, I read this to make me feel better. [http://amplicate.com/hate/the-escapist/438963-forums-filled-with-emo-brats-who-feign]
Further proof we need a sarcasm font in the internet. Writing /sarcasm is just weird. My fault, bro.Dr. wonderful said:
What an idiot, you do not bike, skateboard, or walk without a light in the middle of a busy fucking road in foggy weather! The pedestian may have the right of way, but 2-4 tonnes of metal will still ruin your day.
I'm reall surprised that there aren't more accidents involving pedestrians or people on bikes or motor scooter, I see them in the middle of the road nearly every day and my biggest problem is they don't move at all, I've had to stop because there was a person walking ing my lane and I couldn't move into the oncoming lane due to traffic I sat for about 30 seconds walking this lady walk towards me. The bikes and scooters are worse because they think they belong on the road the motor scooter are especially ridiculous going 20 in a 45 and acting like their a car the damn things are only legal if you can do the speed limit. People are supposed to watch out for cars sure drivers need to be aware but I have no sympathy for those to stupid to use some common sense like getting out of the road when a cars coming.
...The hell is this? The entire first page of this thread is a flame-war and now we got fistbumps goin' on in the second page?I Have No Idea said:

It has been called many names:neonsword13-ops said:
"Too dumb to live"
"Poetic Justice"
"Karma"
"Darwin's Law"
"Natural Selection"
"HA, HA!"
And so on, and so forth. Yeah, no sympathies except maybe the person who owned the car that hit the kid. That must have been a tough one to explain to the insurance agencies...
Skateboarding in traffic? I'm not saying he deserves to be hit by a car, but if you were to say that I'd find it very difficult to disagree with you.
That reminds me of when I were a lad. There was a kid on one of the school buses - you'd know the type if you've ever been to high school - a 'cool' kid, didn't bother to study, always in trouble, used physical education class as an excuse to brutalise the others children, such a badass that he would sneak out at lunch time to smoke behind the sheds where teachers couldn't see him, bullied the nerds etc.
Anyway, while sitting at the back of the school bus and dicking about with his equally retarded friends he opened the emergency exit...just as the bus swung into the car park. The force of the turn propelled our hero straight out into the road. Where he was hit by a car. And then another.
It was funny then and it's still funny now.

Well, simple matter of he gets what he asked for.
Road has cars, if you are in road, cars will be there too, cars are dangerous and bigger than you.
I know the skater community isn't famous for their drug free law abiding intelligence, but skating in the middle of the road is stupid, the end. If you're gonna skate on the road, skate by the side of it, then cars can maneuver around you easily.
But I hope him a speedy recovery and such, hopefully he'll learn some sort of lesson... A really, really obvious one.

Pretty much this. I've had a guy actually start crossing the street, and stop right in front of me. And just look at me. I took my foot off the brake and it startled him so bad he ran for the other side of the road.cookyy2k said:
See, I'm not usually an asshole when it comes to things like that, but I can't tell you how many kids I've almost hit because they darted out in front of me because their brood leader decided that they didn't want to keep an eye on them. People seem to think that they're always protected and that they can't be hurt.
I've also been on the receiving end of this. I was walking in a crosswalk when the signal said to walk and a car just plowed right through, grazing me in the process. Luckily, I was able to fall backwards, towards the sidewalk and not forward and possibly into more traffic. Only a few bruised ribs and scrapes were had, but I was doing everything legally and safely as I could, and I got hit. Granted, I probably should have been able to see him from further, but I think he must've changed lanes or something to get into the lane he was in because I saw him coming soon enough to start moving, but not soon enough to be completely out of the way. Live and learn I guess. Or die and don't spread the genes. XD
