I agree with your point but…you should also read the article.

THIS. I did end up with stitches in my elbow cuz of a bike blowing thru a stoplight!

I’ve never seen a pedestrian complain about bikers going through red lights only drivers.

Well it’s a problem for the pedestrians in the cross walk, so stop being an asshole isn’t a complex request.

It's a matter of scale. Specifically 1-2 tons of metal vs a couple hundred pounds of rider. So no, not really.

I'm sure you spend your time railing against drivers killing people... right?

We are completely inured to vehicle and gun violence as the price of living in a free society, but we panic over bikes with motors.
