Let's say someone's running down the street, waving a machete left and right. A pedestrian doesn't manage to jump aside and gets killed. Do we call that murder?

So why, when someone is speeding in a few ton iron coffin and killing someone, we are talking of "unfortunate accident"?

Nobody talks about cyclists in this context though. A speeding car like this is really either an accident or the driver is a dickhead which happens not too often. However, bikes and scooters speeding on pedestrian zones β€” all the time. they are just freaking dangerous for pedestrians, and nobody cares, because it's "healthy" and "green". As a person hit by a cyclist (fortunately without consequences), I compare *them* to that guy waving his machete.

A) Whataboutism
B) Strawman (nobody cares...)
C) You were hit by the bike, which you yourself say is the equivalent of the machete swinging, and there were no consequences. Yet you belittle the dangers of cars (accident or douchebag)
