The grieving parents of a 7-year-old child who died hours after being hit by a car were charged with involuntary manslaughter after allowing him and his brother, 10, to walk home unaccompanied by an adult from a nearby grocery store.

This is absolute bullshit, just because the US is incapable of making good walkable neighbourhoods doesn't mean the parents are at fault of letting their childeren be normal.

    Explain normal? If this was a street inside a subdivision, I would totally understand. Speed limit on that road is 45mph

    1. Either come up with engineering to stop from 45mph to 0mph in a dime
    2. Take care of your kids, watch the surrounding, be vigilant else don't have kids

    Yeah, there just need to be places where its okay for anyone to murder children. These filthy fucking europeans just don't understand, because of their low birth rates, but as proud r strategists, americans need to be able to kill some of their children, and must have robust mechanisms for culling the weak.

    No but see we need designated zones where it's okay to murder children.

    Otherwise how will we get rid of the most annoying ones?
