What the fuck does rape have to do with this? Why are you so fixated on rape? Are you a rapist? Should I address you as senator? Do we need to look through your browser history?

Before the video starts, probably by a few minutes, we get into this situation where a car and a bike are sitting in traffic. This has apparently been going on long enough for the female passenger of the car to get out and start talking to the biker. She's gesturing broadly in the direction the bike is pointing so gather she's saying whatever translates out of Scot's incomprehensibabble into "get out of the way". Then the driver of the car gets out, grabs the biker by the throat and slams him to the pavement.

The driver of the car committed a felony. Committing that felony is his own fault.

For the likely several minutes he was sitting on his bike, stationary in traffic, the cyclist could have ridden away, continued with his bike ride, escape a dangerous situation. For whatever reason he decided not to do that, and now he's got a fractured skull.

Did he deserve a fractured skull? NaN. Deserve doesn't factor into it, car driver slammy man isn't a judge or jury, there's no "deserve" here. The law isn't about preventing bad things from happening, the law is about systematically hurting more people after the fact. That's all it does, that's all it can do. The law didn't stop the driver from choke slamming the cyclist. The law is not plot armor.

I notice the cyclist is also not wearing a helmet. Going for a bike ride without a helmet on is a risky activity. He could have fallen down and hit his head, which could have resulted in a skull fracture and blood on the brain causing permanent damage to his nervous system. If he had just fallen, as cyclists do all the time, did he "deserve" it? Is a fractured skull the legal punishment for riding a bike without a helmet? No, but that's what you get. Now, while you're engaged in the wholesome family activity of riding your bike without a helmet, does standing in the street blocking automobile traffic increase, or decrease your level of personal risk? I didn't ask "SHOULD standing in the street..." I asked "DOES standing in the street..." I know which one you'll answer though.
