This prick really is a piece of work, not only is he making an ass of himself here, he had the nerve to go to the vosizneias.com website and start his shit there too!

"ANOTHER story of a child being harmed by a bus or car.......all the protests for childrens safety against BIKES, and I have YET to see a story of a child getting hurt by a passing biker..."

THat is you! What a miserable, neurotic little fuck you are. MAY YOU GET RUNOVER BY A CAR!

No that wasn't me, and I hadn't heard of that website. I spend most of my time in three dimensions but I'll check it out sooner or later. Thanks.

Hahahaha ! I guess that was an F.U. To Taffey Dollar !

Well at least I know how to continue a thread properly. But if you want to jump down here to avoid answering my question to you above, fine.

To your first point: I do know that there was not an adult holding the kid's hand in the street, because if so the adult would have been hit too. Or, more likely, no one would have been hit since the adult would be taller and more visible. That's why children need to be supervised and protected, but as others have also pointed out the Hasidic community does not see the value in this.

To your second point: As I said above, the Sids are the ones who made the safety of their children a political issue and said that bicyclists are the threat. They started this war of words and I will point out their hypocrisy.

I have to correct you on one of your points . It's not the issue of the safety of the children as the reason used to justify nullifying those bike lanes, It's the farce of "Safety" that's being used ! As for the Jews behind the wheel, They are reckless ! They believe YOU should Stop,& Wait for them to either pass, Or decide what they want to do when there driving . As for Pedestrians, Get in there way and they might clip you as they turn their vehicles towards you . I see these near hits daily . It's like they know if they hit you there going to be charged and make a concerted attempt to miss hitting you ! Like some sick twisted version of Chicken !

Ok, maybe the thread thing was another Moveable Type issue, since I clicked reply on your comment but it didn't show up as it should. I retract that critique, but none of the others. Peace.

go fuck yourself

YOUR ONE BIG FUNKIN PIG

WITH NO FELLINGS TO PEOPLE WHO JUST LOST THEIR BABY CHILD

I see here what religion does to a mind.

"I don't know the kid's family, I'm not part their community,"

But you keep yammering about how this particular kid's parents "negligence" resulted in his death. As if you were there.

No, that doesn't make you a judgmental asshole in the least.

"I have plenty of my own mourning to do. I'm sorry they have theirs, but I can't share in it."

But you were able to take the time & energy away from your own "mourning" to be the first one to jump on a comment board and make a shitty, snarky remark about a little boy's death.

What a class act you are.

oh how awful.

I have seen way too many close calls with vehicles in that neighborhood. I avoid this area as much as I can and will confidently say that this area has the worse drivers in the borough of Brooklyn! So drivers, bikers, and pedestrians be careful when in the area!

You know ... sometimes an accident is just an accident.

Sometimes it is negligence and/or carelessness.

Terrible. Those bus drivers are a fucking menace.

Tragic, but not so tragic that anything meaningful will be done to enforce motor vehicle traffic laws. Delivery drivers are particularly aggressive in this town, drivers running just-turned-red lights is routine all over the city, and drivers who kill or maim pedestrians are let off the hook by simply declaring "I see/hear/feel nothing".

It will happen again and the same excuses will be trotted out. The media and most folks will quickly forget this tragedy.

Except for the family of the dead.

A delivery guy slipped on ice in the street and was almost crushed by a truck on Smith Street last night in a similar scenario. Luckily, he rolled out of the way in time. It was terrifying. Condolences to this child's family.

tragic, the boy was tiny and slipped so I guess the driver couldn't see him but didn't the driver at least feel the impact? RIP

I live in this neighborhood and I have had several close encounters with schoolbuses. It is commonplace to see them run red lights and barrell through intersections in the mornings.

Simply heartbreaking. Thoughts and prayers to the family. I can't imagine the nightmare they are going through right now.
