I mean I feel for these people. But honestly, how often do people get shot specifically at the drive thru?

Their energy could be better directed towards the root of the issue: gun control or mental health.

The escape lane also would allow emergency vehicles to drive up to help people having a heart attack, a car fire or some other emergency in the drive-thru lane.

The Kelemans said there was no space for police, paramedics and others responding to their daughter’s shooting to pull up to the drive-thru.

Yea those root causes should be addressed too, but it's a pretty good law IMO since it covers emergency situations beyond that as well. It would be helpful for even things like someone having a stroke or heart attack
