    I agree with you completely. I just want to add that automobiles also hit and kill pedestrians in pedestrian zones daily, and I’m not talking about crosswalks. We should be outraged by this as well, and our cities and governments have the power to fix this if they wanted to.

        Is it whataboutism though? My intent wasn’t to distract from the topic but to add to it. I’m also not criticizing or discrediting what was said.

        EDIT: I concede that your criticism is fair. I could have worded my comment in a more constructive way.
