default anger = must be a transplant... Look.... we're all transplants right? Stop claiming you're important because you've lived in a city longer than the next person. Think about the people YOU displaced.

That's right, a transplant. I moved here nearly 30 years ago from Honolulu. I attended U.P. back in the 70's and there was no shit like there is now. City politicians are always pandering to the minorities, and I don't mean race. These morons think they own the roads because they pay no bike taxes or insurance? Give me a fucking break. Garden State? So you moved here from Jersey? What the fuck for.

Fellas! (And I know that you are fellas -- do not deny). You are arguing about who gets to call out whom for an inconsequential fact of life (birthplace). Read IA again -- the issue is a CYCLIST who treats the safety of a stranger's vulnerable body with arrogant disdain. IA is correct: respect the vulnerability of pedestrians and the sacred space of the crosswalk. And remember that in the City of Roses, a crosswalk is ANY intersection, not only a painted crosswalk area. Now take my advice and smile more.
