This is not a bicycle safety issue, it's a random criminal act with a firearm that cyclists don't typically encounter. It's not an advocacy and safety issue, it's a news story and a lot of how long some dude should rot behind bars.
A&S is not a judicial body, and such opinions, while expected, are not a objective solution to an unusual problem.
