06 Jul 05 - 08:08 PM (#1516577) Subject: RE: BS: GWB rams policeman with bike. From: Bonecruncher Hopefully the Police will take a look at the bicycle GWB was riding to ascertain that it was roadworthy, with efficient brakes, correct reflectors and an audible warning instrument (usually a bell). Certain Cunstruction and Use regulations apply to bicycles in the UK, as does the fact that cycles are only permitted to be used on the road or dedicated cycleways. Cycling on pavements is prohibited as they are defined as footpaths. The policeman is quite entitled tu sue GWB for assault. No-one is above the law and I hope that, were there any transgressions, the full weight of the Courts would fall on the errant cyclist. If the US can have a "zero tolerance" policy then so should we.

I hope you keep your day jobs because the humor is not cutting it. I bet you can't wait for the next auto accident so you can have some more laughs. I don't care how much I hate the guy, I do not wish him or anyone around him harm. Apparently he was at fault - peddling too fast on a wet road. Not the smartest thing, but thankfully the injuries to him and officer were minor. It could easily have been worse for both. By the way, at least he was getting exercise. I've seen some of the pictures that Mudcatters have posted and it wouldn't hurt for some of us to get on a bicycle every now and then. I promise I won't laugh when you fall on your ass.

07 Jul 05 - 10:59 AM (#1517048) Subject: RE: BS: GWB rams policeman with bike. From: WFDU - Ron Olesko Of course the barbaric attack is not funny. Neither is an accident that could have seriously endangered two people. Joking about either is a sick thing. When we take joy in other peoples ills, we are not far off from the twisted individuals that caused todays tragedy. If we cannot find compassion in our hearts for a fellow human then we will never put an end to the strife that exists in the world. It isn't always the "other guy", it is us. Of course we need to laugh, but not about tragedy or accidents. Black humor is one thing, but this is not the case. I know a person that was paralysed in a bicycle accident. A few weeks ago a man who works at a local supermarket was killed on his bicycle by a hit and run driver. This isn't about being "PC", but rather just using common sense. |

Are you reacting to the humiliation, the fear of being laughed at in your own life, the viseral recoil at the appearance of blood, or a memory from the distant past that has never gone away? Or are you under the impression that the mighty don't fall? Are you afraid that someone will (horrors!) tell the president that we laughed at him?
