run over

It is known as run over to the act and result of hitting or running over. East verb, meanwhile, refers to pushing or hitting someone or something; act without respect; or take an action hastily and irresponsibly.

For example: "Investigators are looking for witnesses to the run over of a child on Central Avenue", "The government's decision to fire some journalists from the state media is an outrage against the Liberty expression", “This is an outrage! They cannot penalize me for not paying an invoice that was never sent to me ... ".

Run over can be used to name the event that occurs when a vehicle hits a pedestrian (that is, when it runs over). If a motorist driving at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour crosses a red traffic light and attacks a woman who was trying to cross the street, the pedestrian is the victim of being hit.

It is important to note that in everyday speech and even in the press the use of the term is not so common run over to refer to these types of situations, but we opted for car crash, providing more information below to explain that it is the hurt that a person or an animal suffered as a result of being hit by a car, or that they died for that reason.

On the other hand, the verb of this family of words, that is run over, it is used in some Spanish-speaking countries to describe the action carried out by the driver, whether or not it is intentional: “We are at the scene of a terrible car accident that has caused the death of two people: the owner of the car was intoxicated and ran them over at a junction, so they did not have enough time to react and step aside ».

The notion is often used when a person or an institution they act without respecting the laws, the regulations or even the norms of social coexistence. Suppose that a government decides that all citizens are obliged to prove their identity if a police officer so requires, indicating that if they do not do so, they will be arrested. Many lawyers qualify the measure as an outrage against individual freedom, holding that no one has the obligation to prove who they are just by being in a public space and remembering that all people are innocent of any crime until a judicial process proves otherwise.

The run over to the Rights of citizens is a recurring theme in many countries, although it is an unfailingly subject to the time and the various factors that make up culture, which is why it is not easy to study or resolve.

Another meaning of this term that is often used defines it as the deprivation of the word to a third party, so that they cannot express their point of view or justify their actions. If we think about the magnitude of the impact of a motorized vehicle against a person, it is easy for us to understand that it can not only cause great damage but also leave them unconscious and limit their mobility; symbolic outrage is not very different, since someone uses power so that another individual cannot act freely.

In the tango entitled «Swap«, Written and composed by Enrique Santo Discépolo in 1934, this term appears in the following fragment:« What lack of respect, what an outrage to the reason! ». It is a very famous song, which has been recorded by numerous Latin American artists, among which are Julio Sosa, Libertad Lamarque, Alfredo Sadel (opera singer), Caetano Veloso, Tita Merello, Joan Manuel Serrat, Nacha Guevara, León Gieco, Raphael and Liuba María Hevia.
