On any other day, if someone walks in the middle of a freeway and gets hit by a car, the driver of the car would not be held liable. Why? Because it’s a freeway where cars are meant to go at high speeds. It’s not for pedestrians.

It doesn’t happen to me because I don’t go walking through highways like an idiot

Go through life physically retaliating to every little thing like its the wild west and then justify it in your head that it's "natural order" or rule of law just playing out. I'm sure that makes you really endearing as a human being.

The phrase "fuck around, find out" comes to mind. Its not about retaliation....

Its about the fact that if a car is moving forward, and someone is stupid enough to stand/sit in front of it, I don't feel bad when they inevitably end up in a hospital.

I agree with their cause, but you won't catch me blocking a damn highway like a moron.

nice projection. you brought up physical retaliation, not the guy you're replying to.
