I don't agree with the way they choose to protest. Just because you see a fool (or group) acting like an idiot, doesn't give you the right to try to kill them. The driver should have taken a deep breath then completed a u-turn and proceed to go around the block. He could have even called in a cheeky complaint to the cops while he was detouring around the block /img/vbsmilies/smilies/ROTF.gifOriginally Posted by swampy1970 .
Run red lights all night like a herd of retarded leemings and **** everyone off by seemingly being above the law and hogging the road - it was only a matter of time before this happened right? I'm surprised it didn't happen in the US first.
Shocker. Next on Channel 7 evening news, a village located halfway up an active volcano gets wiped out by a pyroclastic flow.

Respect is a two way street IMO.
Exactly - I'm just saying them breaking laws and pissing people off, doesn't give someone the right to decide plowing through 30-40 cyclists in his car is a reasonable thing to do.Originally Posted by swampy1970 .
Respect? These folks do nothing to earn respect for cyclists.
Your right - There's nothing that justifies what that driver did, even the fact that there's nothing that justifies what Critical Mass rides get upto with regards to blatant disregards for the law when they ride. That it took so long for someone to do something like this against a Critical Mass ride is the only thing that surprises me. I've had run ins with riders on the San Francisco Critical Mass in the past... Ass hats the f**king lot of them.steve said:Â
