Cheerless scours the world's press in a desperate hunt for a
cyclist/pedestrian fatality.

And he manages to find a story from March 2012!


I thought that the story of the cyclist pleading guilty was recent.
Are you claiming it was a year ago?

What part of "Prosecutors, however, believed they had evidence that
Bucchere behaved recklessly before allegedly sailing through a red
light at Castro and Market streets on March 29, 2012, and hitting
Sutchi Hui of San Bruno, who was walking with his wife. She was
unharmed." is not part of the story?

My comment was about the sentence, not the original occurrence. The
sentence is very recent, the incident a long time ago.
It seems you can ignore every rule of the road, mow down someone
legitimately on a crossing, boast about it on social media and just get
community service as a punishment (in the States at least)

At that rate Emma West should just get told to make a cup of tea.

Given that in the US it is perfectly legal to shoot dead an unarmed
black teenager, 500 hours community service for mowing through a crowd
of pedestrians on a push bike, killing a pensioner, seems excessively
harsh.

Oh - so when he referenced a newspaper story which was in the newspaper this
week - you were in fact referring to only part of that story when you said the
"story" was from March 2012.


I bet some people are glad that you are not teaching their kids.

He uses the name Bertie Wooster so that people involved with
Young Lewisham and Greenwich Cyclists
can't see what a tosser he is.

The previous poster presumably objected to all the reporting and
discussion there was of the trial of those two men convicted of killing
Steven Lawrence, on the ground that the incident had occurred about
eighteen years earlier and that this nullified any news value arising
from the court proceedings.
