Yeah, you, the dickhead going through the crosswalk at Connaught and Chebucto this morning during the advanced green. “Don’t Walk” isn’t a fucking suggestion. —Morning commutes blow enough already

Oh, you pissed off a car driver! Yay!
You’d think OB was pissed off because someone broke a law rather than being pissed off than s/he had to wait 5 seconds at an intersection…
says op, sitting toasty warm in a car with seat warmers, coffee mug and tunes to the pedestrian wading thru slush with the November wind ripping his breath away as he hopes that damn bus doesn’t leave before he gets to the stop.
give pedestrians and cyclists a bloody break if you are one of the blessed who gets to drive your own car.
ADVANCED GREEN
The dickhead was taking advantage of the advanced green to go through the crosswalk. It was the result of conceptual confusion, a failure to distinguish between the advanced green and the non-advanced (stationary? retreating?) green. He might have been from Connolly Street.

A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Every driver in a hurry in this fucking burg should be put on a catapult and ‘driven’ to George’s Island. Most of the accidents in this city are due to raging impatience, an insane sense of entitlement and just plain old stupidity. Put that behind the wheel of a 2000 lb. weapon and you’ve got mind fuckery at its best.
Pedestrians need to walk defensively, period.
I really do wonder what would happen if you had just mowed them down.
Like actually thought about it and consciously made em road pizza.
They were clearly in the wrong but if it was obvious you could have stopped and chose not to…
anyone a self-proclaimed internetz-lawyer who cares to chime in?
Ethically horrific of course, but legally???
