We had an incident here in the P.N.W. a day or two ago where a group of about 100 of these "Crit. Mass" loons attacked a guy in a Subaru. They did damage to both the car AND the driver.

Wonder how many Kenworth's we could mass at the next gathering of these Nazis? Or how about a few Hummers with Mini Guns mounted?:bored

These critical mass nuts are a big nuisance. However that COP was in the wrong from what I could see. He shouldn't have pushed the bicycle over!

Now this reminds me of NY finest during a large street festival years ago near central park, where many women were been harassed and some sexually assaulted while the COPs just stood around eating donuts. NBC news taped the whole thing. Showing someone bringing to the COP's attention that a young women's clothes were being ripped off by a gang of men and they they turned a blind eye. Now it isn't entirely the COPs fault since a previous incident of "police brutality" caused the chief to make a declaration of no unnecessary force.

In a nut shell, they're a group of whacko cyclists who think they own the road and are out to prove it. 'Course, their leadership will claim otherwise all day long. (In much the same way as Al Capone claimed to be a furniture salesman - or whatever he said he was.):bored:thumbsdow

A bit more background - http://www.nypost.com/seven/07272008/news/regionalnews/cop_shoves_bicyclist_121984.htm

The cop lied and trumped up charges on the cyclist BEFORE it was known that a video existed. :frown

sounds like a perfect place for a suicide bomber to hide and then ply his "trade".
