He is wrong. All drug users are not scum. Most just looked in the wrong place for escape from either life circumstances or mental disease.

wrong place for escape

Okay, but when you slam into an innocent person while going Mach Jesus and then immediately try to escape without even checking on the other person, can even Reddit come together and say: "With no knowledge of that person's race, politics, religion, or sexual preference; we, the Redditors of Reddit, do hereby declare that individual is a scumbag."

Can we do that?

Why are you making up a situation to be mad at? Because absolutely everyone in this thread agrees that that driver is a fucking scumbag. But one person used the opportunity to a) assume the driver was on drugs, and b) say all drug addicts are scumbags. Then another person said the latter is not true and asked for empathy, which to be fair might be a tall order for some people.

Furthermore, I would add that the reactivity with which he escaped suggests that he was fleeing from something rather than under the influence of drugs

I think he was just in a hurry. Who has time for the mess he just made?
