I didn't mean to imply that he was - just that he's in the right place if he's walking in the street.
It's also pretty stupid to be wearing dark clothes walking on an unlit roadway. Nevertheless, doesn't that incident seem uncomfortably similar to the car driver shouting at the cyclist "get on the sidewalk", "wrong side of the street", when they weren't paying attention and buzzed us too close?
