Look at all those suburban, new-jack post-grad cornballs crowding around. I hope someone like them got hit. They disgust me.

Didn't see the accident but I did see the immediate aftermath. I think "grisly" would be the right word here. I'm surprised the guy lived.

It's that dadgum Second Avenue bike lane. It's so confusing and overrun with homicide bikers that it's causing crashes all the way over on Third.

Anon 9:05: What kind of evil hate-filled person wishes this upon someone? This neighborhood and all the old timers who spend their days like this really sicken me.
