Jym Dyer said:Quoted message said:On the critical mass thing, I have never seen one. I have
only read of the ensuing police violence. I avoid violence,
no matter who perpetrates it.=v= Critical Mass rides have been happening monthly (and in
some places weekly) for the last 11 years, now spread to nearly
400 locations. Certainly the police riots and such make the
news, but consider how few of them there are given the thousands
of rides that have taken place.
Furthermore,
in the first post of this thread that appears in my newsreader's
rec.bicycles.misc listing (where Al Simon replies to and quotes
Dave Sutton,) Dave had given a number of press clippings which
indicate this particular CM ride in question was actually
sanctioned and overseen by the local police and other civic
authorities. The gist of the press clippings is: nothing
bad happened.
cheers,
Tom
