Or walk really.. Put the criminal behind bars

And he's only on his learner's licence.

They were severely, permanently injured, and the violent idiot had been charged.

The assailant should have their life ruined. Certainly lose their car and license.

The other person who just watched and walked away should suffer, too.

Mr Brown smashed his head off the road and suffered serious head injuries including a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. Cowardly Hedley then left the 34-year-old cyclist lying unconscious in the middle of the road before getting back into his car and driving off.

Hedley, from Kirkcaldy, Fife, subsequently found out police had put out an appeal to find the motorist involved and he handed himself into a local station two days later. Hedley pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Brown to his severe injury, permanent impairment and to the danger of his life when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday, September 22.

Well, by reading the article I learned he was arrested years ago. I'm not certain we need to hunt him down.

NSFW seems extreme. It's violence, but not unsafe for work. There's no blood or gore. We only truly know there's harm done due to news reports. Marking it NSFW would mean the largest UK Lemmy instance would then not be able to see this UK content because of our stupid internet laws.

A violence tag would make sense though.

Yeah, I don't blame the biker, but I was very surprised how he didn't react at all to the guy, not even grabbing onto him so that he couldn't easily throw him down.

And if that driver also rode with a gun?

Understand the sentiment. I only ride on the little reserved infrastructure there is or on quiet roads. Motor vehicles still use the cycle path anyway, bicycle jousting seems like a solution when you get passed by an idiot on an electric scooter going 80 kph on a narrow path.

Actually, Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I’m from Texas. I once witnessed a guy who took a lady cyclist right of way, nothing much you may say, but I got my gun out and shot a hole in the car’s motor the size of a bowling ball. An eye for an eye, thought him a lesson I tell you. Alas, this altercation was witnessed by the police, and I was arrested for aggravated assault. Seems the female cyclist didn’t have the right of way after all. I write these lines from prison, but I would still vote for Trump in the next election.
