Why are the pro-bike people so depraved and psychologically disturbed that they don't care about a child being seriously hurt by illegal ATVs?

You misunderstand completely. No one likes ATVs or to see a child hurt. But the reality is that there are enough other quality of life issues to address in DC first. I’m not interested in picking on something that’s unique to Black and brown kids when there are a million other things we could deal with first.

Um you realize it was a black kid injured by the ATV right? I hope you are trolling.

I feel the same way about everything on the pro-bike agenda (including vision zero). So many things that are a much higher priority.

Like crime?

If you really care about black and brown kids, you would know they are frequently the victims in these cases. I just read Jahari's Go Fund Me. Earlier in the week, a gun was held to his head by a teenager and his personal scooter was stolen. Then the accident a few days later.

Start supporting black/brown kids like Jahari. Give them the opportunity to have a childhood free of crime. And yes, that means getting other black/brown kids who are too far gone off the streets.

Well that’s not your decision to make, is it? There is a strong constituency that wants to bike and walk safely so your view isn’t really relevant. and of course you’re just lying about the “higher priority” concept. You irrationally hate bikes because it makes you mad that you did not personally agree to a bike lane or whatever.

But my urbanist friends keep guilting me that I moved to Rockville

At least my kids don’t get struck by ATVs and can ride their bicycles peacefully through the neighborhood streets

Tell me you live in an area of DC unaffected by ATVers without telling me . . . anyone who lives east of Rock Creek Park, and especially in Ward 1 (U Street) and Ward 4 (Georgia Avenue) thinks that the PITA, dangerous, anti-social, inconsiderate, obnoxious and arrogant ATVers ARE a quality of life issue worth addressing. It was a black kid who was critically injured by these jerks.

Black on black crime doesn’t get any attention. If a white person had been driving the ATV that struck the boy, people would be more interested.

Ok, what if we had a program that furnished ATV’s to white boys, and encouraged them ride criminally recklessly in the parts of the city where people like you live?

Since it would no longer be a uniquely black culture problem, would you THEN support doing something about stopping it?

If a white kid had been riding it it would’ve been national news and we’d have riots by now if police hadn’t caught him yet.

Yes, exactly. And frankly we shouldn't tolerate this BS about how an activity like this is appropriate because it helps black people de-stress. An illegal activity doesn't become legal just because you claim that it helps you de-stress. If the council wants to pass a law making it legal, they can do that. Until they do that, this conduct needs to be prosecuted.

No one cares about black on black crime. Not black churches. Not black politicians. And certainly not white progressives in Bethesda and Arlington. All of them will champion violent men. But never a word about their victims. Progressives are blinded by ideology and can't see a damn thing these days.

I fail to see why they can’t address the ATV issue AND other crimes too? Virginia would figure this out quick. Especially if a child was hurt.

I don’t think the statement on the churches is very fair.
