I just think it's funny that a 17 year old girl gets hit at a crosswalk and everyone is jumping on her for not paying attention - which we have absolutely no evidence of.
She wasn't paying attention because she was not looking at the car that just plowed into her? surely this is some of her fault and the man was in his right to get out an yell at her for contributing 50% to the accident....

Good lord you people need to work on your reading comprehension. The driver is 100% at fault. That doesn't change the fact that you should pay 100% attention when crossing a road, in case you encounter a driver who will be 100% at fault. Unless you like getting hit by vehicles.
