    Horrible people come in all shapes and sizes.

    Just walking down the street this morning I encountered racists, bigots, homophobes, people who didn’t use zebra crossings, people who crossed against the lights…

    Sure – I’d rather remove “the big bad” and “the terrible evil” but if it’s a choice between eating sweet innocent kids and someone who is clearly an anti-semitic homophobic twat then I know who I would chow down on.

    (This is assuming I am a monster, of course – I am not suggesting I’d do that as a person. I have some standards).

        Jaywalking is so weird to me as a Brit. Sometimes it can be a little dangerous to cross the road, but it’s not unusual to do in cities and towns. There are zebra crossings and such, but they aren’t mandatory (although it’s always best to use them). The only roads you can’t walk on are high-speed roads like motorways, which shouldn’t be a shock. If a driver kills someone walking on the road, they’re probably at fault.

        I have to disappoint you, there are people sitting in those evil evil cars. Streets are for people even if they are used by cars.
