He's actually right about Aggravated A&B, intentionially hitting someone with a car is by definition Aggravated A&B. Criminal law is, in general, pretty humorless.
Is is ridiculously irresponsible what they were doing: yep. Is that pretty much what alleycats are all about? To an extent... the way you're talking I thought it was going to be crazier than it turned out to be (although forcing cars to come to a full-stop isn't all the great in my book).
Do I really think doing what they were doing casts some all cyclists as irresponsible idiots who are taking their and possibly other people's lives in their own irresponsible hands, no.
Firstly, I'll reiterate that I'm not actually planning to run over cyclists. I realize that the boundaries between 'sarcasm' and 'irony' have been eroded, but let's give it a go, eh?
Secondly, I'm sure that stupid crap like this happens all the time. What turns my gut is the documentation and posting of it...like it's some notable event, and deserves our accolades. It's idiotic horsing around, not some epic athletic competition.
