So, you are arguing that the Austin-American-Stateperson failed to use a
tragic instance of a poor, crazy illegal immigrant who illegally,
carelessly, dangerously crosses freeways, to save legwork because his
legs where tired crossing the border, who put decent law abiding
citizens at risk and danger to make an argument for pedestrian related
concerns,
and
that it would have more impact than reporting the dangers of cell use by
a female driver. This up and coming beautiful intelligent young girl
represents that very demographic for driving/cell usage. It's a good
call by the AAS. (No pun intended)
Opposingly, the driver who hit the freeway dancer should file a civil
lawsuit and collect restitution for damages from his family, as the
occupants of the vehicle must be terribly affected and traumatized by
killing a human being because he behaved negligently.
