Florida is at a crossroad over its crosswalks. Multiple cities across the state are in jeopardy of losing state transportation funding if they don't eliminate their colored-in crosswalks. Some honor victims of mass shootings, while others are artistic expressions. Cristian Benavides reports many residents are fighting to put the breaks on the policy reversal.

I try to understand why they are the way they are. I have given up that practice when it comes to MAGAts and anti Woke peeps.

I don't care anymore. These people have had plenty of time to realize that they are morons, dickheads and assholes.

Fuck them all.
