Spur Incident

[vindicem]

I think we can all agree that the white dude was way more in the wrong than the black chick

Dude, the link would have been shoved in everyone's face a million times over if a credible source existed. All I've seen throughout this thread is a bunch of hysterical people running on pure emotion. It's usually the same people screeching that everyone needs to view the "evidence" right in front of them.

True, but I would like to see one of them actually admit that its just an opinion and not based on any credible source.

That is the problem. People think they are equally to blame. I think she isn't to blame at all.

Basically, this guy ran a red light. The woman was hit. But according to some, she should be held responsible for not checking before driving through a green light.

But then you would be lying and we would all know you were lying, because black twitter would out your arse.

Dont you mean racist black twitter?

That is a massive oversimplification of the situation.

She shoulders some of the blame for ranting on and on like she did.

Agree. But you have right of way. The guy running the red light is SOLEY to blame.

This has nothing to do with a traffic offence. Your analogy does not apply. The chick was also at fault.

Brings me to another point. Whats if its a six way?

would you also yell "it's because I am black" at him while the paramedics load you into the ambulance?

Whoa!! This is now a traffic discussion thread. Please start your own thread if you don't want to talk about traffic signs and confusing signals.

No sir. I wouldn't do that for a traffic offense.Obviously not all of my example can be used to try and explain what happened in the Spur.

That particular 6-way isn't very complex, the diagonal lanes don't have car traffic flowing into the intersection, only away from the intersection from the looks of it.

Bloody 'ell Toxic. Thats a pinary if I ever saw one. I would say the blue Ford Focus has right of way.

I think I have a few print screens on my phone from twitter where people put his phone number, his house address as well his previous history with abuse on. But I don't that's a very good idea, that's very invasive.

I agree posting his phone number and address was going too far, but I don't have a problem with his history of abuse.

Nicely observed NBF

Wrong thread lol?

Him threatening to slap a woman and hurt her child is also going to far no?

Depends on which of the 7 circles the car is in.
