    Fuck off, he hit two kids in a crosswalk with his car. What the fuck kind of justice is that?

        As I say to stupid shit like this all the time, no it’s not normal here, that’s why there’s a news story about it.

          Every year there are 2,430 regular season MLB games played. Every one of them has, at minimum, at least one news story about it.

              Oh so you mean to say that your logic only applies in that one single instance and if you apply it to anything else it falls apart immediately? Funny that.

                An occurrence in a crosswalk doesn’t align with the scale and attention of a paid event attended by thousands, sponsored by the city, and pushed to headlines by a ton of sponsors and the like. I get what you’re trying to do here but it really misses the mark.

                A better parallel would be school shootings. We have ~3/day and headlines don’t always make it out of the district they happen in.
