2 in 3 days.

Is Florida Blvd just a 3rd World country/zone now? Maybe that is a rhetorical question.

i've walked across that road a few times. it's like a game of frogger. And there is little or no median in most places so you're trying to cross 4-5 lanes in one try. it's the challenge that attracts people.

Most who live near there stumble as a mode of transportation.

There's also no sidewalks, no crosswalks, and tons of crappy apartments right up by the road.

A lot of times I see people not even trying to run across, they just straight up walk like they’re taunting you to hit them, while trying to hold their pants up. Pisses me off

Was it a phone-zombie, drunk, high, or the trifecta?

Mayor Broome and her team, guarantee you, are going to have a meeting about this tonight. And they may actually decide to rejuvenate Florida Blvd...a Dave and Buster's, a BoneFish Grille, a few art galleries, and a Nino's have been in the works for the FLA/Ardenwood/N Foster area for a while.

I see sidewalks on both sides. One could cross at stop lights when cross traffic is stopped.

They certainly do act like they are daring people to hit them. I am not surprised in the least that this is starting to happen.

Is this incident racially motivated too? Or is it only racist when cops hit Jaywalkers?

I would support this in theory. However, she'd probably propose a 1 cent sales tax to pay for it.
