I have been thinking about getting some "Child Killer" stickers to start slapping on trucks that are particularly unsafe and huge. I don't get why in neighborhoods that in all kinds of other ways frowns upon putting kids at risk (no driving fast for example) dumbass men are allowed to own MASSIVE trucks that raise the risk of running a child over by a huge amount and no one shames them.
Time to start shaming these people more.
Go for it! The cost would be pretty inexpensive.
*Edit It's funny how the downvoters aren't okay with a simple sticker, but are okay with two ton vehicles killing more people than usual.
How much could a vandalism charge cost Michael? $10?
Less than a vehicular manslaughter charge.
