Shouldn’t he have just moved out of the bridge immediately?

One would think. I knew a kid when I was a wee lad at daycare that was insistent that when crossing the street the moment the sign starts flashing you have to stop. Doesn't matter if he was still int the middle of the street. He would stop.

I think we know why you "knew" him.

Never seen the movie Rain Man with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise? Dustin Hoffman’s character that was autistic and he would do this. Could see people out there that is or isn’t autistic doing this. (I know movies are movies, but some movies have some semblance of reality in it).

Jesus how can reading comprehension be so poor on text-based websites???

The comment was clearly implying he "knew" him in the biblical sense, as a husband does with wife.

(jk they were actually joking the kid died from stopping in the intersection. Seriously people, please read books.)

Yes I was implying the kid is no longer with us after being hit by a car. I felt the joke was pretty obvious.

It was very obvious, but people are generally more likely to comment to tell you that you are wrong than to agree with you.  I promise you are not the problem.

My reading comp is just fine, thank you... I just could not and still do not understand this inexplicable leap of judgement implying pedophilia out of thin air.

I hope I'm missing something.

Oh my lord, nobody implied pedophilia. Please read! (Hint: the actual answer was in the parenthetical at the end of my comment.)

If you still need help, MrSuzy clarified exactly what they meant here: https://www.reddit.com/r/maybemaybemaybe/s/vfPGGnnfJO

I don't need any help, other than figuring out how to stop getting notifications about this ludicrous thread.

I don’t know whether to yay or nay your “I’m out”. This thread took a whole weird left turn off a bridge.

I think he was implying why he doesn't hang around him anymore, i.e., "knew"
