The construction crew explained that they put the sign up after a pedestrian was clipped by a car mirror after ignoring the previous sign which simply stated "sidewalk closed". Does it surprise you that the previous sign was ignored? Yes, who ignores a sign like that?

"we" are not a society | 0.05% | 1 |
A very vocal minority are entitled. To generalize sensitivity as a societal thing gives an easy out for people who would rather not change their behavior/beliefs. | 0.05% | 1 |
