A black mom was trying to cross the street from a bus stop, because the nearest crosswalk was almost a mile away. A driver hits her child and she gets blamed for “jay walking”. Just an insanely evil country.

Take up google maps and measure that distance 0.3miles (~0.5km) on a stretch of road that you often walk, and consider how likely you would be to walk all that way and straight back just to cross the road (especially if you're in a hurry). Honestly this is one of the most disgusting things I've read in a long time. That driver really should have lost his drivers license for a very long time the last time he did a hit and run.
