Default lost faith in some of humanity today

just got of the phone with the county sheriffs about this.

any way i was driving up the road to my house when i took a turn from a stop sign and since i have a bald tires on my car (getting new ones on friday) they made a small squealing noise and some dumb@$$ mother throws her kid out in the road in front of me and yells at me to slow down.

first off i dont speed through school zones at all and secondly i didnt even have time to get past 25mph (the speed limit is 35mph).

i was so dumbfounded by the thought process of this action i could not move. my jaw hit the floor once i found out it was a kid.

anyway some arguing ensued and i left after calling them some not very appropriate names (and vise-versa).

i got home and right when i opened the door the sheriffs called. so i explained the situation and they'll look into it.

im scared by the direction humanity is starting to go. i watched an intersection down the road from my house and i counted 245 drivers out of 300 that blew the stop signs some at the same time and others to beat other drivers even though its an area thats off the beaten path and parents drive there mowers around with their kids just to see whats up with everyone else.

my brother was killed when someone blew a stop sign to beat traffic so be careful out there


on the bright side i spotted another dodgeforum user in town its nice to know i'm not the only one in this area

Wooow that's pretty messed up that she actually threw her kid out...I think she could be jailed for insurance fruad since thats kind of what it seems like she tried to do.

People are idiots. Simple as that... I am sitting on my front lawn right now watching people stop to make an illegal U-turn right in front of my house. At least 1 out of every 3 gets honked at by another idiot going too fast in one of the two directions.

I've encountered lots of people like this. I've come to terms with the fact of the direction that humanity is going. It's not right, and it sucks, but this is what we've all created for ourselves (not so much us, but u catch my drift).

Something like this screams child abuse to me tho. Why throw the child, throw yourself if you want to prove a point. She would rather have her child either killed or seriously injured than herself in proving a non existent point...? I think her problem goes deeper than insurance fraud and proving a point. I think she needs help..

Wow. Well now that I heard it all... That's really messed up to put your own kid in danger to either be a (insert bad word here) or try to get money. Sigh. on 4th of july I was at a buddys house drinking being all American and stuff. Down the street there was some people with what are considered "illegal" fire works in the state of florida (where I live) having a good time nothing wrong with that. Until I noticed them letting their young kids play with them. I mean who lets a 11 and 13 yr old play with something that can blow their fingers off... When I was that young I wasn't allowed to light one of the "safe" stay on the ground fountains because my parents didn't want me to get burnt ofc back then I thought it was just them not letting me have fun. But now i realize i could of been burnt or even fountain fireworks can be defective and blow up.

lots of people are irrational because they feel, rather than think their way through life.
