Injured good Samaritan ticketed for jaywalking

Damn! We are HARSH with our pedestrians in this country. Don't walk in front of my car when it's in motion, boy. I will mow you down like an overgrown lawn.

DENVER – A good Samaritan who helped push three people out of the path of a pickup truck before being struck and injured has gotten a strange reward for his good deed: A jaywalking ticket.

Family members said 58-year-old bus driver Jim Moffett and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when he was hit Friday night.

Moffett suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen. He was in serious but stable condition Wednesday.

The Colorado State Patrol issued the citation. Trooper Ryan Sullivan said that despite Moffett’s intentions, jaywalking contributed to the accident.

Moffett had been driving his bus when the two women got off. In the interest of safety, he got out and, together with another passenger, helped the ladies cross.

Moffett’s stepson, Ken McDonald, said the driver of the pickup plowed into his stepfather, but not before Moffett pushed the two women out of the way.

When he awoke in intensive care, he learned of the ticket. “His reaction was dazed and confused. I was a little angry,” said McDonald.

The other man also was cited for jaywalking, while the pickup driver was cited with careless driving that led to injury. Sullivan said the two elderly women haven’t been cited but the investigation is ongoing.

Nothing says loser like branding yourself with the CA Penal Code for homicide.

Good for you, Denver. There’s nothing I love more than seeing Johnny Law get aggressive with self-important hero types. Crack down on these micreants! I say throw the book at them. It’s time merely being elderly was a crime!

I, for one, would like to see the whole lot of them hit with several charges including intent to distribute, cruelty to animals, vandalism, trespassing, and – of course – murder. Look, these broads are old. They don’t have much time left to join a gang and get street cred. How are they supposed to earn the respect of the other gangbangers if they don’t have a legitimate ’187′  prison tat on their chests? Send them down for murder, and do an old lady a solid.
