Driver who left cyclist with brain injury hit cyclist following road rage incident avoids jail gets away with attempted murder

The way they soften the headlines is really disappointing.

Things like this, when the legal system does not provide justice or restoration, make vigilantism appealing.

The actions of Joseph Hedley were horrific and shocking and could easily have had more devastating consequences. “But he has now been brought fully to account for his crimes.

I don't know if the victim agrees that his (unprovoked) attempted murderer having been harshly sentenced to.. stay indoors between 7pm and 7am counts as "brought fully to account".

Next: the driver successfully sues the cyclist for causing him trauma.

I watched that video a week or two ago. That was attempted and partially successful murder if you ask me.

Vigilante justice it is

Honestly It’s heart wrenching to see news headlines like this. And since I’ve had this account for a year it breaks my heart even more. Bc each quarter it seems to be getting worse.

Hmm. Look obviously this guy should be in prison, I don't think anyone disagrees with that unless you're a chud.

But also, wear your fucking helmets. Obviously not the intended purpose of a bike helmet but it may have been the deciding factor in his shattered skull.

Immature man child attempts to murder a cyclist and gets a strongly worded telling off. A vehicular assault on a politician and the sky is falling and its the end of civilization. We have some incredible double standards in this world.

What the fuck? This is a perfect example of the line of person who should be imprisoned in order to protect society--someone who becomes physically violent over little/nothing. Someone who can't or won't control their violent temper.

Reminder: Ride with cameras, lights, a helmet, and at least a couple self defense options that you are proficient with - the world is full of violent shitbags, so make sure it's them and not you if things escalate.

Edit: Looks like I upset a violent shitbag. Oh no. Hey, don't be violent and you'll be OK, but if you attack somebody, you deserve to get fucked up as badly as they need to fuck you up in order to stop you. Threaten someone's life and they have every right to pepper spray you, dome you with a bike lock, or worse: Whatever is necessary to survive.

Just don't attack people, it's not a complicated rule.

Bullshit. Eye for an eye, that disgusting cunt needs to cop his own permanent, life altering consequences.

Limpest of slaps on the wrist. Reminder to carry a weapon and kill your assailants before they can almost kill you, because the courts will do fuckall to the criminal who assaults another.
