Don't assume things. We are dealing with people here.

Downtown and midtown Houston. It's like people wait until oncoming traffic has the green when they clearly had time to cross before then or just wait another minute or so for the next light cycle.

Is Florida Blvd just a 3rd World country/zone now?


When's the last time you've driven down Florida Blvd? It's what I expect Haiti looks like.

Was the pedestrian on a lunch break from work?

If cars were pulled by German Shepard’s, this wouldn’t happen

I always hate it when I miss the boxes on the Airline overpass because I spun out on a banana some toad discarded by the BREC office.

Yes, they do. They want to get hit so "they can get paid", ya heard...

I have to travel down that little boulevard of wealth and prosperity every day for work.

A personal story, not on Florida but on Perkins, i was driving home, and some kid with a basketball was casually walking across the street. He threw his basketball towards my truck and just kept walking slowly. Lucky for the little shite that i kept going or he would have made a mess of my truck. These aren't smart individuals you are dealing with.

One did. It's all those others that cause the problems.

Hopefully there will be equal outrage from the "community" on this one as there was on the one that happened this weekend when it was night and dark as shite out there

He will surely just make something up and run with his misguided, fake outrage.

He will damned sure not suggest that anybody takes any personal responsibility for their actions.

If we built a wall there, these accidents would stop.
