Critical Mass Cyclists Attack Driver
Video shows a 'splinter group' of San Francisco cyclists attacking a driver - LA Times
It's people like these that cause grief for the rest of us. Disobeying multiple traffic laws, purposefully trying to cause conflict with drivers, assaulting them, etc.

Interestingly, this same topic is pretty tame so far in A&S, and it was started as early as Tuesday.
I'm thinking we'll send the special forces back to base, let the boy scouts handle this one.

I don't usually comment on this, but these kind of rides never seem like a good idea (I've seen some in my city..)

Well, a guy was recently arrested for running over some armed robbers. But with a gun I probably would shoot the idiot in the leg and call 911 saying I was attacked by a group of bike riders and feared for my life. Or like my sergeant used to say: "You should shoot up and if they don't stop you shoot them in the chest, but nothing prevents you from doing the other way around"

It is Cali so they frown on using tools that start with the letter G to defend yourself. But if you told the jury you were just trying to get away from some crazy people on 19th century modes of transportation it would go over better.
hey, I just noticed that the G word isn't filtered anymore. That's nice.
