Children have every right to use their streets without getting murdered by careless drivers.[/quote] +1

On a crosswalk.[/quote]

This is what I don't get about this whole incident, as well as the Nina Larsen killing.  Car companies lobbied for years to have complete takeover of the streets and shunt pedestrians to one small area of the road (crosswalk) where they are "allowed" to walk.  And then drivers kill kids IN the crosswalk and there are zero repercussions.  Seriously bananas.  [/quote]

You don't always have the right of way just because you are in the crosswalk. Also, the crosswalk is often not the safest place to cross. It sucks, but car vs pedestrian accidents will always be a fact of life.[/quote]

The Kindermoord contingent has been heard from.[/quote]
