Hit-and-run truck kills 3-year-old boy at 5900 Cameron Rd., 5/25/16

The boy was walking in the crosswalk with his family.  The pickup truck was turning around the corner.

Which have you heard more outrage/complaints about in your lifetime:  hit-and-run drivers killing pedestrians, or bicyclists blowing red lights and not actually killing anyone?

Yeah, I get asked about my bike commute by the car drivers at work all of the time.  Invariably the subject of cyclists running red lights comes up.  I always try to steer it back to the real problem, but it gets old.
