I'm not trying to be cold about it

You're doing a terrible job at not trying to be cold.

I'm trying to be cold about it.

This guy is 90, he objectively driving at unsafe speeds in a school zone.

He is not responsible enough to drive. He shouldnt have a license.

Running over children isn't okay if you're old. If you're too old to drive safely, you're too old to drive.

Speaking as a crossing guard at a middle school, thank you. I have put myself in the path of traffic more times than I can count, and I've been very nearly run over twice already this year. Speeding, staring at their phones, yelling at the passenger -- this is what I see on a daily basis, and then I get screamed at if/when they finally stop.

Be cold about it. I'm in charge of getting 150 of someone else's kids across a busy street every day, and this judge's decision is a slap in the face to me, the 150 kids, and all their parents.
