No excuse for what happened. Why, that woman should be ashamed! Holding up traffic like that, just so she could selfishly walk across the street! The drivers should sue! I'll be some of them might have been late for appointments and maybe even missed the green light at the next stoplight because of her! Those poor drivers lost seconds, even minutes! waiting for her to cross the street! I think she should have the book thrown at her and the cop who arrested her given a special award! I say, if you can't walk the walk you should stay on the sidewalk and not cross the street!

Q: Why did the old lady cross the street?
A: To annoy the drivers!

These old folks should be dealt with promptly and quickly -- no nation can afford to have them shuffling around loose!
