window given that it never happened before.

If you blocked me, flipped me off, and then gave em the finger, I'd do the same
thing. You SoCal guys got a beat down that day. It was long overdue.


The old "beat down" defense. Also known as the "but they ****ED ME OFF"
defense. Yeah, that'll win the jury over.

Actually, he probably will keep saying it, only now it will sound more like
"Funk nyu"

Ron Peterson is a good guy, and this shouldn't have happened to him. If the
car passes, swerves in front, and slams on its brakes, how can you follow at
a safe distance? Dr. Thompson is has anger-management issues and needs
psychological help.

I hope the good doctor gets his asshole reamed in prison on a daily
basis.


It's hard to know exactly how accurate, complete and/or biased the
reporting is, but from what I've read, I hope the jury gets the same
impression that I have and the dear doctor hangs.


I've been in a situation where an angry driver pulled in front of a
paceline and hit the brakes. We had no serious consequences but it
quickly became apparent how that act simple act is anything but
innocent and could easily end up being deadly.


DR


The cyclists deserved what they got.


First of all, how come they couldn't stop their bikes in time? *A bike can
stop faster than a car.


Second, when a car is behind you trying to get around you, you don't ride
2-abreast and hold up the car....and then flip the driver off when he passes
you.


If you're driving a car and you hit the rear of someone's car, it's your
fault. *I don't see why riding a bike makes it any different.


Trollboy,


I know you're just looking for love and attention,
but don't be ridiculous. *There's a presumption, when
driving or cycling on the road, that other people aren't
going to deliberately try to cause an accident or hurt you.


I agree, but not after blocking, and then antagonizing with profanity and
gestures. *At that point, you're provoking a reaction. *You're looking for a
fight. *And they found one. *And they lost. *In this case, the one guy lost his
nose.



This presumption is the only thing that makes roads
usable for either cars or bikes. *"Defensive driving"
means watching out for other people's screw-ups,
not defending yourself against someone who tries to
cause accidents, because there really is very little
you can do about that.


The cyclists intentionally blocked this guy by riding 2-abreast, by going slow
(30 mph downhill is slow for a car). * *And then when this guy simply wanted to
pass, they flipped him off and used the F-word. * The doctor got ****ed and
jammed on his brakes. *He probably thought he would cause them to brake hard and
lose their momentum. *It's very unlikely he expected them to go through his rear
window given that it never happened before.

If you blocked me, flipped me off, and then gave em the finger, I'd do the same
thing. *You SoCal guys got a beat down that day. *It was long overdue..





In particular, because everyone including drivers follows
at closer than the real safe stopping distance, it is
possible to cut someone off. *The presumption that
the driver who rear-ends someone is at fault goes
out the window (or through the window, in this case)
when the leading driver deliberately tries to cause
the accident.


In your crusade against idiots, you should be against
Dr. Thompson. *Why? *He confessed to the crime.
If he had told the traffic investigator he'd done nothing
wrong, rather than bragging about teaching them a
lesson, he might have got away with it.


Ben


I am entitled to not believe the testimony of the investigator. *I have a right
to believe that Dr. Thompson didn't say that. * You have no right to tell me that
I must believe the investigator. *Most cops are corrupt and have no credibility
anyway, especially Calif. cops. *Also, most cyclists are known liars such as
Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton. *I would ask these SoCal cyclists if they
donated to the Fraud Fairness Fund to see if they had any credibility. *I bet you
they did.

I would also like to start a defense fund for Dr. Thompson called the Doctor
Fairness Fund.

Your point, however stupid, ignorant, blind or merely provocative, is
noted.

"They called me names and were blocking MY road - I was ENTITLED to
try to kill them."

One account has already described how the jury was half asleep as the
defense "expert" discounted the eyewitness testimony, simply because
it WAS eyewitness testimony. "Trust me - I'm an expert. You can't
believe anyone."

Let's see what the jury says.

Which is what MonasticSucker thinks is perfectly logical.

Indeed. But let's remember that MorganMonkey thinks that bicycles can stop
faster than cars. I find it impossible to believe that he rides.

Wrong.


He demonstrates an almost complete lack of knowledge of the stopping
power of a bike. And for those others who aren't aware and don't want to
look like the fool that MG is - a bicycle can stop roughly half as fast
as an automobile because if you stop faster than about a half gee you
roll over the front wheel. A bicycle's center of gravity is too high for
rapid stops.


I might also add that the amount of rubber making contact with the road
on a bicycle is miniscule compared to a car, that's where all the
stopping power is. Friction is dependent on the size of the contact patch.

On the other hand, I've never rear ended a car. That's an interesting
enough trick that I wouldn't draw any conclusions based upon the limited
information I've seen so far. Emotionally, I'd like to see them lock the
driver up and throw away the key. That's not necessarily justice, however.


These guys rear-ended the car because instead of keeping their fingers on the
brake levers and expecting this guy they just harassed to stop, they were off
the bars flipping off the driver and verbally harassing someone who just
wanted to go to work. Personally, I thought that was a nice move by the
doctor. He's entitled to stop his car on the road.

I bet you that guy with the Michael Jackson nose thinks twice before blocking
cars and flipping them off.

Please donate to the Doctor Thompson Fairness Fund.


Thanks,


Magilla

Ron Peterson got a nose job by the resident Dr. Windshield because he was a
smart aleck that day. It's just like that guy who wrote into Velonews
said...he goes to innocently pass cyclists to go on his way, and the next thing
you know he's being verbally assaulted and flipped off by some arrogant
cyclists.

http://velonews.com/article/99687/ma...curtail-future

If you flip me off when I'm driving my car, I'll give you some ABS disc brake
action too. Peterson got a little street justice that day. Now he has a
Michael Jackson nose for the rest of his life....
