1. Shocked, as I always am when a cyclist within my own state dies.
2. Validated, because I thought that was stupid behavior and it turned out true.
3. Bothered, because I felt validated by someones death.
If I knew the person I'd say something, if I don't know them I'll stay out of it. Also, I'd like to point out, this guy didn't blow the light. He stopped, checked, and ran it. You're doing the same thing politicians do to make us all look like dare devil psychos out to be smashed on the pavement: Turning a minor infraction into more than it is.
If the guy did blow the light you'd have no hope of confronting him. He'd be long gone.
