I ALWAYS use the crosswalk, I ALWAYS push the button to cross and I ALWAYS look both ways before beginning to walk. But numerous times I was barely missed by an oncoming car. Once someone even yelled profanities at me on their way past. If you ask me we all need to learn some common decency. If your in a car STOP for people in the crosswalk or waiting to cross, if your a pedestrian use the crosswalk and don't act like you own the road-walk quickly. A few extra seconds won't kill you.
First, maybe all these people should read the Idaho Laws before they speak. It states that if there is a person crossing the crosswalk they should slow down or stop giving the pedestrian the right of way. It also states "No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety
and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close as to constitute
an immediate hazard." Second, the guy at the end of the video is an idiot and does know that he is talking about.
I would just like to say something...have you noticed that everyone who gets hit by a car is in the crosswalk? hmm...maybe that's because most jaywalkers actually pay attention to traffic flow and time everything just right while people in crosswalks think they are invincible because they are in the crosswalk and just walk without looking into it, even though it can be especially difficult to see them. People in crosswalks bug me more than jaywalkers.
Love the stabbing analogy...although when we met with the police for my PR class last year they told us that the drivers aren't always legally at fault...even if a pedestrian is within a crosswalk.

personally I wish the pedestrians would do a better job of looking where they are going.
