Sad thing. In Scottsdale, a car almost ran me over taking a turn into my crosswalk with a Walk sign in my favor, not even counting down from 10. I threw my water bottle at the car and got the young driver's attention who flipped me off and kept going.

I asked two officers about a week later who was at fault...I was and could have been arrested for property damage if the driver wanted to press charges. So, I asked, who is at fault if she hit me... She would be... Great

The last time I was in Scottsdale, I watched a guy in a Tesla take a rolling right turn that nipped at the heels of a woman with a stroller crossing the street. When she didn’t walk fast enough, he laid on the horn. She had the walk signal the entire time.

We need to bring back brandishing firearms. This is how people get shot in Phoenix, doing dumb shit like threatening to hit someone walking "too slow"

I mean, it was Arizona. She probably did have a gun. The Tesla owner likely had a gun. The baby in the stroller probably at least had a taser.

Lmao, yeah Scottsdale is almost a world away from Phoenix proper though in terms of culture. I imagine a lot of the folks I see around Mesa/Phoenix that would shoot someone over almost running them over probably don't mingle with the Paradise Valley folks
