I don't think so; I always read it "kev-ann". Is it supposed to be phonetically identical
to "kevin"?

Maybe someone was tired of being a victim, kinda like those who suffer spousal abuse.
Sometimes people crack. As a cyclist, I empathize (though ultimately a totally boneheaded move
on part of cyclist).

I must say, though, I believe the world would be safer if one would assume everyone is capable of
killing you with a gun or other weapon. I assume that my life is in danger *any* time someone wants
to fight with me, or acts aggressively with a dangerous weapon (automobile), and I let them know I'm
not in for a fight. I *will* be defending my life, and acting accordingly.

Actually, it is a crime: Assault, assault with a deadly weapon, assault with intent to kill.
vehicular manslaughter (attempted)...

"Nicoletti said he turned his truck around and drove toward Urick"

By his own admission he went out of his way to threaten Urick's life with a deadly weapon because
the guy saluted him. 'Nobody gives ME the finger'

Knothead #1 is going to walk because he's a driver (probably a church going family man and proud
veteran by the time it gets to court) and the whole shitsucking system is weighted in favour of
drivers. Knothead #2 was an easy bust.

Substantiate that assertion with data or shove it up your ass.

You're just projecting your own hostile attitude toward cyclists.

How about... anyone who is uglier than me is a loser, and anyone who is better looking than me
is gay. :)

I don't know the context; I haven't bothered to pay too much attention to the serious portions of
this thread. That quote, however, doesn't say "drove at urick", it says _toward_. The language used
most commonly implies that he used the truck as transportation to get to the bicyclist -- at which
point, we don't know what he'd do.

Okay, in fact, I just read http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/103-02092004-243243.html

Apparently, the driver drove back to the cyclist and stopped to talk. The cyclist didn't shoot at
the moving vehicle, so he couldn't even have thought he was about to be run over. The cyclist
proceeded to reach into the stopped truck and shoot the driver.

>Knothead #1 is going to walk because he's a driver (probably a church going family man and proud

So, the guy who got shot shouldn't walk (for his crime of offending a cyclist and then going back to
talk/argue about it), but the guy who didn't get hurt should walk (for his attempted murder)?

Personally, if _anybody_ shoots me (especially point blanc and premeditated like that), and I have
_any_ form of weapon (truck, gun, pneumatic nailer, whatever) available, you can bet I'd do a lot
more than "ram him off his <insert transportation here>". Knothead
#1 must have had great restraint to avoid repeatedly running over
Knothead #2.

Knothead #2 gets off easy to retain his life after so directly attempting to kill Knothead #1.

It might have been good for Knothead #1 to have gotten killed. Then, Knothead #2 would definitely be
in jail a moderately long time. Our society could use some culling.

The point piddlewits missed was that there is no way to prove his claim that a driver is going to
willfully endanger cyclist B because cyclist A jumped a curb, flipped them off, ran a stop, filtered
ahead at a light or any one of a number of other things that tends to knot driver's knickers. It's a
paranoid delusion without basis in reality and a myth propagated by idiots.

I just called him on his ********.

IOW, created the situation he could have avoided by shrugging off the salute he deserved after
verbally accosting the cyclist.

Go play in traffic, you apologist buttkisser.

Umm, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't someone say that the cyclist was only riding because he'd
had his license to drive pulled for a number of road-rage-related incidents?

Yeah piddlewits pulled something like that out of his butt.
