    If someone leaves their baby in a car and parks it on the tracks, then it’s their fucking fault if the baby dies. The parent/owner of the car should be charged with negligent infanticide in that case.

    Also, no one who owns a tesla is “beloved.”

        I didn’t say the baby is useless, I said it’s the parent/owner of the car who’s responsible. The tram driver isn’t even gonna know there’s a baby inside.

        The tram operator wouldn’t even see that there’s a baby inside.

        The owner of the vehicle could petition the city’s transportation authority and say “your tram killed my baby!” But as soon as the authority sees the details of the situation they should say “You parked a car on the tracks and left your baby in it?!? Dumbass.” And stamp “DENIED” in big red letters.

        Even if that person contacts a journalist, the headline should read “Dumbass tesla owner parks car on tracks and leaves baby inside. Baby dies.”

        There’s no reason why the tram operator should ever have to find out there was a baby involved.

              How does “what journalists should do” come into play in other situations? Journalists should also exclude shooters names and images from reporting, how does that go?

              You’re going to all this trouble to explain how we can deal with killing a baby, without realizing the better option is to just not kill it in the first place.

              I don’t think there’s any point continuing this discussion.

                That’s the strawman of strawmen. You’re the one who inserted this hypothetical “What if there’s a baby in the car” scenario. What I said was simply “that’s the parent’s responsibility for not only leaving the baby unattended in a vehicle, but also parking that vehicle on the tracks.”

                You’ve been trying this entire conversation to twist that into me being a baby-killer, when it was your own red herring from the start. All I said originally was that if someone parks their vehicle on the tracks, it should get run over.

                I don’t think there’s any point continuing this discussion.

                That’s the one thing we agree on.

      With a bloodthirsty absolutist mentality like that, have you considered a career in ICE?

        It’s not bloodthirsty nor absolutist.

        If a tram sees a car negligently parked on the tracks, it should plow through it. The tram operator isn’t going to see if there’s a baby inside. Whoever parked the car on the tracks and left the baby inside is responsible for their own negligence, and also a psychopath.

          Explain why the baby deserves to die because of their negligent parent.

          Regardless of who we assign blame to, the important part is that if a train flips a car off its tracks, a baby in that car could die. So if we prioritize baby non-death, we can say that the train shouldnt be violently flipping cars off its tracks

            I didn’t say they deserve to die. I only said their death is the parent’s responsibility for leaving them in a car parked on the tracks.

            If a parent leaves a baby in the woods, no one would be arguing about “maybe bears shouldn’t eat babies!” They would be saying “Maybe you shouldn’t leave your baby unattended in the woods!”

            Leave a baby in the woods, it dies. Leave a baby on the train tracks, it dies. In both cases, it’s the negligent parent’s fault. Not the bear’s or the train’s.

                I like this “the street car operator will make a baby die if they have to push a blocking car out of the way” strawman you have here
