First time I've ever seen that one. They usually just shred the guy with lead, and then use the magical get out of jail free card, "I feared for my life".

Yes, lets not allow fact, reason, common sense and logic to lead our lives to a better, safer place. Lets all sit around a camp fire in front of a VW bus singing C*m By Ya swaying left and right awarding ourselves participation ribbons drinking unicorn fart rainbow enriched cocktails with our epic friends sharing free love.

Suggesting whether it is justified or not.

Two very different perspectives.

This is going to spiral into an outright mess if we carry on. Shall we get back to biking?
