Thank you, Kraco.

Sorry your baby got shot in the stomach in the middle of the street by a random gunman, but you really should have been more careful. What were you doing letting your child near a random gunman, you shitty, shitty parent?? You're basically taking care of a potted plant and you went and let them get shot in the stomach.

That's not a strawman. That's literally the argument some of you are making.

Not really. Like I said, their carelessness is stupid. The fact that the girl was walking unsupervised is their fault.
You have no idea what was going on and to assume in any way that the parents are somehow responsible is idiotic.

I mean, you realize objectively that if the van hadn't hit the little girl and this video was never recorded you would have no opinion on the parents whatsoever. But because of the actions of two - not just one, two - careless (or sociopathic) drivers, you are now calling into question the parenting skills and saying things like "they were careless" rather than "their daughter got run over twice by a couple of fucking vans."
