Stop lights? We must be in Mexico...

So lately I have been noticing that it has pretty much become the norm for people to run red lights. I'm not talking about hitting a yellow light and it turning red whilst being in the middle of the intersection. I'm talking full out blowing through painfully obvious red lights and just pretending like nothing happened. Just like in Mexico were the lights might as well not even exist because they don't work.

The question is, where the hell are all the cops when you need them to actually do something? Apparently not giving out tickets for traffic violations, nor giving tickets to the plethora of j walkers jutting out into traffic, nor giving the all the juvenile dumb ass taggers bathing every open wall with a lovely coat of krylon. Probably out beating up grandmas for not watering their lawns... Well I guess what will happen eventually is that some douche in his BMW will mosey on through a red light and run over a j walker with a backpack full of florescent paint which will spray into the wind dusting a Trax train with a light mist which will upset the UTA. In turn they will raise Trax fare another 50 cents to cover the cost of repainting the train. Outraged by the death of a pedestrian the state legislature will spend thousands of dollars and a year debating over a bill to institute a whole new light to the rather dizzying array donning the intersections, and absolutely nothing will change except for the amount of money being sucked out of our pockets by greedy politicians that want to siphon as much as possible away from Salt Lake City so that the Mormons can kill the scant city nightlife that is left on main street taking back control of downtown...

So the moral of the story is quit running red lights you assholes before someone loses a grandma...
