It sounds as though they both broke the law.

Doesn't it?


No.


You are wrong yet again (though you know that and are just being childish).

Wilful obstruction of the highway is an offence.


There probably is such an offence but you appear to be in fantasy land.
There is no suggestion that Her Majesty found him guilty of such an
offence. You're justifying a criminal's actions again.

No-one said he had been convicted. You're off on one of your fantasy
trails again.

Correct. Then he committed no offence.

Perhaps I made the mistake of imagining that the law of this land is
innocent until proven guilty.

You are committing the OJ Simpson fallacy.

Remember: if "no conviction" means "no offence committed", than hardly
anyone ever breaks a speed limit.

Substitute the (correct) word "unless" for "until", and you are almost
correct for legal purposes.

And so hardly any driver ever breaks a speed limit.

Don't blame me.

*You* started it.

.... and cyclists don't ride on pavements or go past red traffic lights.

On the other hand, speeding is very easy measure objectively. Whereas
just because Nugent believes that a cyclist doing 15mph while not having
a safe place to move over is causing an obstruction does not mean it
would pass any test of obstruction.

Besides, since the driver stopped to assault the boy after mowing him
down, shows there was no time pressure in the situation. There is no
offence of causing a driver's willy to shrivel.

Don't blame me.

You will have to do better than that after telling somebody they are
being childish.

I don't know why you try and argue with someone who seeks to defend a
driver getting getting out of their car and punching a child in the
face. They are clearly not going to be convinced by any rational
discourse. Ignore him/her and give us all a break.

Has anyone in fact spoken a single word in defence of that person
convicted of assault?

Not that I can see. But perhaps you've seen something I haven't.

My sole contribution on that subject was that the person convicted will
probably get 12 months, and maybe more.

Yes, he's like a wasp at a picnic table. It's difficult to get the right
balance but you don't have to read it.

That's like saying I don't need to worry about the turd floating in
the swimming pool becasue I don't need to look at it.
As I said, give us all a break, please.

When I checked for the first time in a a few days I was astounded at
the amount of ******** in this group, then realised that I'd forgotten
to apply my filters. click click ;-)
