Should jaywalking be considered a crime?

[majazac]

what is jaywalking?

[awesomegamer]

when you cross the middle of the street not in a designated safe zone. (usually yellow lines with diagonal slashe through it located at street corners) or crossing the street while the signs say do not, or are green for cars to go or for people to stop. its a safety issue

[majazac]

It's already considered a crime in my country.

[awesomegamer]

yeah, its not all of USA, but in some states.

Maybe in the middle of NYC, but everywhere else, hell no. I do it all the time, and have never gotten in trouble. Have they ever heard that the shortest way between 2 points is a straight line?

[awesomegamer]

the shortest way to death is inbetween a street, 0.2 seconds infront of a car? i guess thats the way they see it.

meh, its the walkers fault for not looking, I say just let them get hit and help cure the world of idiots.

[majazac]

that's true... and is always the drivers fault
