"9-year-old... hit by truck." Someone should go have a talk with these trucks.

Putting the news site aside, you are in a community called "fuck cars". We focus on the issue with big cars, not reckless drivers.

We point out how ridiculous it is that north america gives multi-ton death machines to 16 year olds, alcoholics, senile people, and everyone in between because you can't take away peoples driving licenses when there is no alternative transportation.

If you are here looking for humans to hate, you should probably find a different community.

Yes. The car the person was in didn't hit them. When it got close enough, it transformed. Then the person spiderman'd off their wheel (now 10ft in the air) and kicked the poor little girl.

If we want to be correct, a car doesn't work like a gun. Bullets kill people. Guns shoot bullets and people shoot guns. Saying "Guns shoot people" or "people shoot people" isn't a stretch.

When dealing with collisions, saying "the vehicle didn't hit them, the person did" means the one hit never came into contact with the car.

Neither does a shooting victm come into contact with the gun or shooter. This is why the analogy works for guns and not cars.

That person was most definitely hit by a car. But today, like a hudered years ago and for the forseeable future, someone was driving that car. So yeah, they were hit by the drivier of the car. But they werem't hit by the driver and not the car. Then they must've stopped driving and given the victim a run for their money with a baseball bat. Which, again, most definitely did hit them.
