I read the article. Did you? Did you notice what it didn't say? We can quickly infer that the man is local and these were local streets. What kind of crazy mother f***** would drive 25 in a 25 when there's kids right next to them? I know what kind of crazy mother f*****, the kind who wouldn't care if they struck those kids and killed them. The rest of us would show common sense, we would see the kids, and we would slow down to 15 miles an hour because we know that little kids might step out into the street accidentally and care about the lives of children.

Let me put it simply. If you see a kid near the road, slow the f*** down, you aggressive m***********.
