Critical Ass
I dunno if you've been following the "Critical Mass Bicyclists Being Assholes" stories, but what I'm most impressed with is the defense of the bicyclists.
Let us presuppose that these folks they attacked tried to run them over. How does smashing a back window with a bicycle help that situation? It won't stop the driver from getting away or anything.
According to Sgt. Gavin McEachern, who was among the officers who arrived at the scene, an unidentified bicyclist reached into the front seat of Webb's limo and stole his keys from the ignition, then rode off. Webb was stranded, and his limo blocked traffic in the street for two hours before it could finally be towed. If these folks are so moral and trying to stop folks from running other folks over, wouldn't these keys end up at the police station?
Limo driver Dennis Webb, 46, told us it all started when he was driving a group of four young women to a club South of Market and a female bicyclist blocked his limo on Hyde Street, near McAllister. Webb said he leaned out the window and asked the cyclist to move. Instead, according to the police report, the cyclist got off her bike, unwrapped a lollypop and started licking it. Critical Mass: Reminding folks that bicyclists are assholes.
