I will. The spit would not infect them unless it contained blood/OPIM and managed to hit them right in the eye, mouth, or an open wound. Even then, the chances are pretty low the person would contract the illness.

It seems like all the Philly people think it's funny and have no problem with the dude spitting on them. I have to admit I laughed when I read the incident, but I don't think I would have done the same. Then again, if he was to go back and start confronting them about why they would mouth off such a stupid word, in the most civil manner, he'd probably anticipate being knocked off his bike and getting his ass kicked.

I do believe they will think again before yelling *** at someone the next time they do that, but that's about it. People forget/don't care.
