Cyclists Revenge

Critical Mass is a bicycling group. They do have a political message, cyclists' rights and the promotion of more cycling, but in this case things got out of control.

Apparently a couple of the cyclists got hit by a car, deliberately or not, its not clear. So a group of the non injured cyclists took off after the offending driver and car. Long story short - lots of vehicular damage and personal injury.

This is very troubling because once again it smacks of gang violence.

Hey Jim, Ck. this article from Seattle times.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2008075512_reading27.html Who knows what actually happened. For sure, composure was lost on both sides, which lead to the violent responces. Mainstream tv coverage was surely silly one sided story, with newsperson ending piece with dramatic "passenger may have been a pregnant women" As they say on peoples court "Don't take the law into your own hands,take it to peoples court"

Will do, thanks Steve. You are right in not being duped by the news media.
