You must live a really really weird life. I dunno if it’s ultra sad or not, but it’s definitely a bizarre worldview to wake up and think “everyone chosing to go to work in the only way available to them for most of the country is basically spraying an ak-47 everywhere they go” You can work to change that – great, all for it. But presuming the world where you’ve already won is absolutely bonkers.

Again, I’m with the “fuck cars” ideology. I am not against you. But this is a dumb take.

Should there be shooting ranges everywhere? No. Is the fault of people using shooting ranges that you ran out into one and got shot because you don’t feel it should be there? No.

Maybe it shouldn’t. That’s a fair argument. But you saying that a guy is a murderer when he shot someone when they ran in front of him at a shooting range is not an argument that is going to gain any favor with anyone who isn’t already firmly in your camp, which means that argument is pointless.

I’m not saying don’t advocate for more walkability, but that doesn’t mean walking out into traffic in your neighborhood and getting hit is doing anyone any good. You get hit, drivers think you’re dumb, it was ultimately your fault, the movement for more walkability in urban areas gets set back because some dummy walked into traffic and resulted in a loss of respect from the public about the ideology. Don’t be a detriment to progress out of your own stubbornness of naivety about how progress actually works.

Out of mostly amusement to see what you come up with at this point, what makes cyclists not also a bullet for pedestrians in this scenario? Less heavy but can still be deadly to pedestrians.
