Hmmm.... article states: "Witnesses said she failed to stop for the red light
at Watt Avenue at 10:34 p.m. and struck an adult bicyclist, Hartley said."

To which Jake "Albert Einstein" Donwawgo responded: "should not have crossed in
front of the moving car, in spite of what a
green light says."

Well, from Jake "Albert Einstein" Donwawgo's "logic"  one can conclude that the
safest course of action for anyone and ANYTHING with the green light at an
intersection is to simply sit there and DO NOTHING EVER because one can never
be sure if there's gonna be a panic stricken individual ready to run the
crossing red light "legitimately" because they have just cause based on an
emergency.

Well guess from now on I'll just sit at a green light in my car AND DO NOTHING
cause goddamned if there might not be someone ready to run the crossing
redlight cause he or she has a "legitimate" emergency they have to attend
to.......
