Hard to feel bad for people in these kind of scenarios. Accidents happen, if you don't take your responsibility (be sober, use a helmet, ride where you're allowed) you have no right to complain about whatever happens next. It's not society's fault if you're a danger to yourself and others, actions have consequences, too bad for his legs, but at least he didn't kill a kid
I hate how people use these ride sharing vehicles (reckless driving, under influence, park wherever the fuck they want), I very rarely use them but when I do I act as if it was my own scooter and I don't feel like I'm under some sort of magic legal immunity shield
> He said he was never stopped or cited, even though police officers had seen him numerous times.
So what, it's still his fault, he's low key trying to blame the police for that (?)
> when his Bird crashed into a sidewalk
_He_ crashed into a sidewalk
> “This guy lives on Medicare. He’s paralyzed.”
Are we supposed to feel bad for him ? He did that to himself and will be getting tax money until he dies
> Peña filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles, alleging it was responsible for the crash.
Yeah sure, everything but his own actions...
> operating a Bird scooter illegally on a city-maintained sidewalk with a BAC [blood-alcohol level] over the legal limit, tested positive for marijuana and in violation of the California Vehicle Code.
...
I shit on these companies as much as the next guy, but come on, this isn't a Bird problem, or a ride sharing problem, it's a dumbass problem
