Good Samaritan? According to the article he didn't just rescue them from getting hit, he put them there in the first place. Should have never help them into the street and nobody would have got hit. We also don't know the reason they did this though but if anything he should have helped at the corner not in the middle of a block.
I didn't see where it said he PUT them there, just that he helped them across the street.
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.
Should not have even tried to get them across the street, by doing so he not only endangered himself but everyone involved. I think the stupidest thing about this is the fact that the driver of the truck was cited.
Kinda funny how the media twists the truth to get a certain response huh.
In crossing a street any intersection with or without a crosswalk it is legal to cross, the only exception to this rule would be if the corner or intersection is marked to prohibit crossing. Crossing mid street is jaywalking period. If all he did was to take them to an intersection and help them across they would have been legal and we may not even be discussing this issue now. The person I feel the most sorry for is the driver since he was for the most part doing what he was supposed to be driving in the street unlike those that decided to cross it illegally. As a professional driver I have had a few incidents over the years and in fact have hit a pedestrian crossing/jaywalking. He had just robbed a 7/11 store and took off running, I was driving my truck next to a telephone company crane truck when he slammed the brakes. I of course was a perverbeal sitting duck. He was in front of me before I could even react. So now he sits in a wheelchair and got a multi-million dollar settlement though the insurance. Never went to jail for the robbery either. I was as legal as anyone could be driving, light was green at the corner, and he ran across about 30 yards from the intersection.

Yeah he did and is why everyone is whining (media), what he did was illegal, I feel sorry that he is now injured but I feel no sympathy for him. If the guy that hit him had insurance he hit the lottery and he was working so he'll get some good $ out of this but (and I might be a little biased) he doesn't deserve a penny.
No I was talking about the guy you hit....did he get a ticket?
Well look at this way. You should feel sorry for the driver who now has to live with the guilt of hitting someone. Someone who shouldnt of been there in the first place.
