If you were turning right, and there was a pedestrian in the crosswalk, would it be okay to hit the pedestrian?

I think it would be fair to blame the infrastructure if we want. Bikes shouldn't be exposed to right turning traffic. Clearly it's a safety concern.

Nevertheless, regardless if you're turning left or right, you still need to yield to whatever is in your way. Just because you are making a right turn does not automatically grant you right of way.
