NORTHEAST KANSAS CITY PEDESTRIAN HIT AND KILLED BY CAR LAST NIGHT

NBC Action News reporting reveals that "walkable districts" in Kansas City are really nothing more than a fantasy: "A pedestrian was struck and killed by a car Monday night in the city's old northeast district."

WTF does this have to do with "walkable districts"?

If there had been a toy train available along Independence Avenue for this pedestrian to ride, this accident might never have happened.

True dat.

Probably walking in the street because some worthless fucking bum wouldn't shovel their sidewalks.

No, actually this sounds very much like a suicide.

Perhaps we should, for once, reserve judgment until we know what the hell we're talking about.

Everyone who lives in the City knows that black folks walk in the street, most commonly the middle, regardless if sidewalks are available or not.

If this was a jig, walking in the middle of the street, they should give the driver a fucking medal.

Dude. He was prone in the street when he was struck, even though the sidewalk was cleared. Police suspected he was intoxicated. This is unrelated to walkability or the streetcar.

He was hispanic, not black.

KJ, are you kidding? Around here, EVERYTHING relates to the street car.
