- mikeash 13y agoWhy? Where is the rule that says you must complain about all bad things at once?
- hack_edu 13y agoLet me know when a cyclist last killed a cop and lets talk about who got charged what. Also, you still are equating Failure to Stop's (which sure, could maybe someday cause some sort of fatal whatever someday whenever)... with the actual, real, actual loss of life. Insultingly vile.
- aroch 13y agoHey look, a recent example of a bicyclist not only injuring but killing a pedestrian because they chose not to obey the law. http://blogs.kqed.org/newsfix/2013/08/15/107079/Chris-Bucchere-Sutchi-Hui-bicyclist-pedestrian http://blogs.kqed.org/newsfix/2013/08/15/107079/Chris-Bucche... I hate the pedantic bullshit of elitist cyclists like yourself
- hack_edu 13y agoJust to close this out, out of respect for the lives of Milton, the cop, Josh all others cited above... I'm not really a cyclist. I like it, its fun, and I ride safe on the handful of rides I have each year. But I might be a pedantic little shit. ;)
- crystaln 13y agoYou're not a pedantic little shit. You're arguing with a jerk. Equating cyclists running stop signs to drivers killing cyclists in bike lanes is ridiculous, especially given that the cyclist in the example pled guilty to homicide and drivers are - literally - never prosecuted for killing cyclists. Don't be so quick to demean yourself in the face of asinine attacks.
- darkarmani 13y ago> pleading guilty to felony vehicular manslaughter and avoiding a jury trial that could have sent him to prison if he were convicted. So we'll see this cop sentenced to vehicular manslaughter? Let's see if that happens. I'd love to be wrong.
- jessaustin 13y ago"Perhaps" is an infamous weasel-word. Why not say that you value all cyclists' lives less because some cyclists have flaunted traffic laws in a way that annoys you? If that isn't your point, what is?
- kamjam 13y agoThere's a lack of enforcement of a lot of motoring laws too. I've sped plenty of times without being caught, I haven't always used the blinkers and sometimes I've even parked illegally. I've jumped the occasional red light. What you are saying about cyclists applies equally to motorists, so I really don't know what point you are trying to make. The _vast majority_ of both groups are law abiding people.
