In early May 2002, a terrible tragedy occurred on the grounds of a school in Mexico City. Students and their parents attended a national flag-raising ceremony at a local school. The driver was detained immediately after the incident. He explained his act by the fact that schoolchildren prevented him from leaving for work

Not condoning his course of action at all, but sometimes in those countries (and honestly even in US) “running late to work” can be the difference between feeding your family and watching them starve to death. Protests and professions that do this put people in really shitty situations where the correct option, sadly, was to sit back and lose your job while watching kids do this procession. Or else sleep at or near work, idk. Maybe there were options. All of them probably sucked. The answer was NOT killing kids.
But this happens all the time. I’ve seen people who are on parole who need to be at certain places at certain times get fucking pissed at rioters and protesters during the George Floyd riots. And while telling them their protest is “inconvenient” to you makes you an asshole, you then have to confront the very real outcome that you go back to prison. Because the system doesn’t care if there was riots, you broke parole. Tough luck.

No condoning at all. To further expound on the "running late to work" bit: The systems in place in some countries natrually rely on this sort of thing due to supply/demand and are generally motivated by profit. The systems in the world would benifit greatly if the focus was on the betterment of mankind but the current economy of the world does not operate on kindness but on capitalism/mercantilism. We would see less videos like this if that were true
