    Not a car issue… It’s a “Murica ma Gunz ar holy” issue.

        So, you are that type of person that blames the Hammer for hitting the thumb not the nail…

        Nah. It was absolutely an asshole problem. Yes, a car was involved, but the problem was the human driver.

        It’d be different if it were a self driving car. It would be like if you used a lawnmower to mow your lawn, ran over a beehive, and tgen blamed the lawnmower for getting attacked by bees. Or blamed the gun itself for the pedestrian getting shot.

        both at face value if you subscribe to the idea that this has to be the way it is… people around the world don’t have our issues. Oh the land of milk and honey sprinkled with dummy. This type of stuff happens too often… it is like apart of our culture. Of cource venture capital and the tech bro have sum GREAT solutions.

      The car becomes a kind of psychological armour that can disinhibit normal social behaviour.

      Behind the wheel, people often express emotions they would never display in face-to-face interactions. This disconnect between normal personality and driving behaviour suggests that cars can trigger different psychological states. Understanding this can help drivers recognise when their emotions are becoming problematic and take steps to regain control.

      i agree with this statement from a page i’ve never heard of

        There’s a lot truth in that. That’s why more and more morons buy those 2.5 ton space wasters of US production or of US style. Oh, can anyone tell me what’s the sports characteristica in Sport Utility Vehicle?

      it’s impossible not to call it a car issue. cars function as weapons against pedestrians, that’s why car murders are illegal but almost never carry the same sentence as shooting someone despite sometimes being more lethal than a handgun.

      also calling gun violence an American phenomenon is a European’s way to soothe their own egos despite Germany frequently having lynchings by gun caused by Nazi cops. there’s a reason why BLM didn’t remain contained to USA and sparked massive uprisings in Europe

        Excuse me, what? “… Germany frequently having lynchings by gun caused by Nazi cops…” where did you get that bullshit from? Cletus, you fell for a lie!
