Hoofing It
by Jeremy 'Panda Man' Weidenhof · 02/06/2007 11:49 amLST has been on top of the recent epidemic of Houston pedestrians unsuccessfully attempting to cross our busy roadways. Some of you have not been listening to our advice, however.
Pedestrian killed after being hit by car on U.S. 59 feeder
A pedestrian died after being struck by a vehicle on the feeder road of U.S. 59 at Lee Road as rush hour began this morning, officials said.
According to KPRC-TV:
Police said the 26-year-old man was wearing dark clothing and walked into oncoming traffic.
Is this an outbreak of individual stupidity or mass suicide?

Perhaps these guys are addressing in the only way they can, their frustration over tax appraisals, border security or forced vaccinations.
Can you spell D A R W I N…I knew you could.
When in doubt weed ‘em out

They need Nikies
I will bet on stupidity.
Maybe we need an anti-car vaccine, or Perry can just sign an executive order banning strolling through freeway traffic. As for the DARWIN comment, remember, God created Darwin for a reason …
Does anyone know how many if any were hispanics?
I am not trying to be funny. Before I moved out of Bear Creek there were several fatality accidents on HWY 6 where folks tried to run across the Hwy. Most of them were hispanics and likely illegals. Just wondering if there is a connection.
No hate or bigotry!
Maybe they voted for Gov. Perry and couldn’t handle the shame of it all.
You mean I shouldn’t run across I-10? I was so looking foreward to playing dodgecar!
Frogger was my favorite game
Maybe Mayor White can put these up along the freeway.
I ran over a guy and killed him. He crossed the street right in front of me. He jumped out of the darkness and BAM! It was my first brand new patrol car. The investigating officer thought it was suicide, but just called an ‘auto pedestrian fatality’. Couldn’t prove the suicide. I was not found to be at fault. I was in a city vehicle and was scared for a long time that I would get sued and the city would drop me in the grease. But that was about 8 years ago and I’m pretty sure I’m safe now. It was on N Wayside near the N Loop East.
Yikes…glad you weren’t held at fault. That has to be a terrible thing to think about, like the cop who has to shoot a guy in “suicide by cop” situation.
