A variant of that occurred in a case I have mentioned before when a pedestrian on a canal path was kicked to the ground by one of a pack of cyclists out "training". A number of witnesses saw the event but couldn't tell which of the group of riders, all in identical Lycra, kicked the lady to the ground. All of the riders out that day simply denied having seen anything happen despite many cycling around her. The result, as in this case, was that no prosecution for assault was possible. In that case, all should be charged with perverting the course of justice, and face a punishment similar to that which their "friend" committed. By the way, the collective noun for cyclists is "peloton" not "pack". If the events described are indeed true then a "pack" of bicyclists is entirely appropriate. Like a "pack" of wolves. |
