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....

Please respect the brave men standing up to criticize a teenage girl for having the childish negligence to get hit by car while in a crosswalk.
What do you think crosswalks are for, anyway? Crossing?
