Can we have this law in vancouver bc?
this needed a law
No it didn't.
Pedestrians outside of marked crossing zones are not protected in any way at all. Reality is fucking stupid.
Normally we would not need such a bill, because of the doctrine in American law of placing the liability for death or injury that was a direct result of a felony on the felon. So if you try to road-pirate, carjack, or otherwise attack someone who is peacefully driving down the road, and someone gets hurt or killed, it's not the driver's fault, it's the attackers' fault.
For some reason this American legal doctrine has not been applied to felonious attacks by groups of people protesting against police or Trump, not since 2016.
in a riot situation people were blocking street and pulling people out of their vehicles. the drivers and passengers usually end up being beaten and kicked and seriously hurt and taken to hospital. run the rioters over and let god sort them out. they shouldn't have been there anyway. fuck antifa and black crimes matter. you get in my way i'll put my truck 4 wheel high and make a speed bump out of you.
