Some dickwads think that asserting their rights=denying the rights of others or that it means they have license to engage in property destruction/vandalism. I've seen it happen during CM; it happens alot during protests, too, and it really pisses me off b/c it totally delegitimizes any constructive civil disobedience that's going on. Plus it gives the mouthbreathers some real ammunition.
Fuck.

i agree with everything above. Not that I'm a perfect angel, but everyone's seen the track set kids that just fuck with any car that gets near, and that's not so cool.

Another, rather different opinion of what happened at SF CM from Commute by Bike:
Quote:
...According to people who were there (unlike Matier and Ross), Susan Ferrando swerved her van into the cyclists (which, by 9 p.m., dwindles down to about a dozen riders), knocking one of cyclists off of his bike. Instead of the benign tap “reported” by Matier & Ross, the bike ended up smashed underneath the van. While the cyclists called 911 to report the criminal assault, Ms. Ferrando attempted to flee the scene of her crime. That’s when the cyclists surround the van to stop her until police arrive. While they waited, one idiot broke out her window. The police declined to arrest Ms. Ferrando...

The way this was written makes it sound like she was just passively being driven around by the car. The original editorial was extremely fishy. The bike response wasn't 100% believable, but from what I've seen drivers do at CM, is closer to the truth.

Yeah, just like drivers come out and denounce reckless driving or assaults on bicyclists by other drivers. My ass. I've seen what people talk about on the PI forums and they are encouraging vehicular assault towards bicyclists.
Fuck cars.
