Are you kidding me?
As though this wasn’t bad enough, this is an all time low:
Charles Atherton, a former secretary of the U.S. Commission on Fine Arts that advises the government on architecture and design in official Washington, was hit Thursday while crossing busy Connecticut Avenue. He died Saturday night at George Washington University Hospital.
Although witnesses said he was badly injured and unresponsive at the scene, police issued him the ticket. His family found it with his belongings when they went to the hospital.

It can get lower, let’s just wait for the city to sue his estate for the penalty.

For some reason, when I read “Charles Atherton,” I initially pictured William Atherton. “Didja get that?”
