OK, so Critical Mass kicked off tonight like usual in Melbourne.
After about 45 mins, a pack of about 40 of us were heading through
Kensington, and all of a sudden this guy in a grey Peugeot overtakes
everyone really aggressively, damn near hitting one guy before almost having
a head on with a car coming the other way. I swerved in front of him
(disrupting traffic and all), and he slowed to a stop.
And the guy he almost hit? It just so happened to be one of 3 uniformed cops
that were travelling with us. All three cops pounced on this guy, and he is
saying [censored] like "I just wanted to get home".
By this time about 20 of us had gathered round, and I must admit I was
trying hard not to shriek with [censored] laughter at the sight of this
[censored] getting worked by the cops. Later on, one of the cops told me he
was [censored] as well. The realisation hit me that he could have just ploughed
right through a bunch of us. What a complete [censored].
Right now, he would be in a cell somewhere, sobering up.
