    If the pedestrian had a gun, this never would have happened.

      Idk, the crosswalk would be still unarmed - needs some movement-sensor gun turrets.

      I’m 75% sure that this is sarcastic and the upvoters believe this is sarcastic.

        I would say it’s “tongue in cheek”. Sarcasm, irony, absurdity of reality, all packaged together.

      I just wish they would do it somewhere more appropriate like in a school.

          Don’t bring a ped to a car fight… with guns.

          The pedestrian here was really at a disadvantage if you think about it.
