The scariest things lurking around the corner on Halloween aren’t monsters or ghosts.

According to doctors, it’s cars. Halloween is one of the deadliest days of the year for pedestrians, especially for kids.

“There’s a lot of focus on the risks of candy that might be a little misplaced,” said Britney Lombard, an injury prevention manager at Children’s Hospital Colorado. But one thing experts are sure of, she said, is an increase in child pedestrian fatalities on Halloween.

“There are a lot of things that they can do to mitigate those risks,” she said.

Here are some tips to make sure Halloween is safe and fun for everyone — from cars to costumes.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Light up your kids! (Pets, too, if they are along)

There are plenty of glow stick/strip products out there and they are a lot cheaper that the misery of a kid getting run over. Drive slowly, pay attention! (My greatest driving nightmare would be hitting someone's kid.)

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The way it was done in my neighborhood, it was always done in groups starting in the afternoon/daytime for the youngest.
Then in the early evening for young teens. By 8pm the whole thing was over.
An adult or adults chaperone was always with them. Safety was always the first concern.

Because of my work schedule and seasons, during my evening commute it is pretty much dark Halloween evening when I enter residential streets in my neighborhood. I usually see at least one or two gaggles of early Trick-or-Treaters, so I'm extra careful. I look for shapes, colors and movement where there "should be" none, figuring out who/what after I respond appropriately.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
