Jaywalking Bronx Man Hit By Bus

Get ready for another NY Post expose on the jaywalking epidemic. It's being reported that a 22-year-old Bronx man was killed after being hit by a city bus while "darting" across the street. The Daily News notes that Luis Rivera was "crossing midblock when he was crushed by a Bx21 bus heading north on Boston Road in Tremont at 10:30 p.m. Saturday." They add that the bus driver was not drunk and has a clean driving record, but that Rivera was jaywalking.

    To all you HEARTLESS, INSENSITIVE LOOSERS!!! He was sober himself! And a wonderful father, son, cousin, and citizen of the United States!!! He'd recently graduated and obtained a degree as a medical assistant. He too has an extremely clean record!!! And for everyones information, the truth is that he was NOT "darting" midblock. He was an innocent pedestrian!!!

    Natural Selection... If you are stupid enough to just dart out into traffic and get hit by a bus... One less stupid person on the planet.

    The bus driver may not have been drunk, but I'd bet that Rivera was. Jaywalking FAIL.
