a focus on quarterly profits rather than long term investment

Take his Jeep away too. Make him get around on a bike. That would be justice!

Makes no sense either. Texas has a huge cycling scene and only hurts themselves not handling these incidents properly. Over and over again..

Reiterate fuck Texas, or at least the Texans that come into my neighboring state in droves. The most belligerent, assholish cunts I’ve ever interacted with in my life. Stay in Texas fuckbags

I used to ride thousands of miles a year and now I rarely ride on the road at all.  Cellphones, talk radio, and just irrational hatred are too much to bear - I’m not risking my life because some jackass read on 4chan that all cyclists are communists.  And the ones who aren't actively trying to hit you, a substantial…

I lived in West Texas for a few years and have been cycling for 30 years plus and I’ve only ever been attacked or threatened in Texas. I saw some serious anti bike there for reasons i can’t fathom

He should also have his license suspended/revoked.

Changing societal behaviors, with the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims is terrorism.

The cops’ inaction reeks of “Good Ol’ boys” network here, maybe the scumbag had connections? hmm.. or maybe they too shared the same irrational hate of cyclists and thought he “deserved it”? I’m just asking questions here.

Fuck Texas. Fuck cops. Fuck that Jeep guy. Charges should be more serious than a misdemeanor. He could have killed the cyclist. No, you don’t fucking joke around like that.

Whatever transpired before, the swerving into oncoming traffic to hit/scare the guy in the bike crossed a very big line. Reckless driving should be one of a host of charges. Also, this guy is obviously a great candidate to have his guns taken away.

This is why I absolutely refuse to ride on the street at all any more and ride exclusively on bike paths. I firmly believe that a good 15-20% of the population has gone completely unhinged insane. 

I’m glad they only hurt themselves and not anyone else. Everything about these events epitomizes the idea of a douchebag. It’s incredibly unsafe, braggy for the point of being braggy, wholly inconsiderate of the safety and well-being of anyone else, and generally gives the vibe of “I am the coolest fucking person on…

Rich people doing stupid things in fast cars on public roads learn tragic lesson, more at 11. 

I used to get that all the time when I lived in Columbus, Ohio. I remember one afternoon, riding home from work when some asshole just honks and yells “FAG!!!” as he passes me. And at the time, after the initial shock passed all I could thing is, “is that really all you’ve got?”- I’m riding my bike in German Village,…

It’s largely because these guys grew up listening to their dads and grandads joke about being bullying assholes and pulling stunts like this, and how the sheriff would give it a wink and a nod and do nothing, and it would just be a funny story to tell later.

They are Republicans.... or whatever hate-filled, racist, fearmongering, liars the party has transformed into the last 6 years.

1: Do asshole thing and show it for all to see.

There’s something about defenestration...

Your assumptions on those laws backfiring only works if everyone got prosecuted equally under the law. Also, IDK about Florida’s anti-voting laws, but Texas made sure to include exceptions for 65+ on mail in ballots to be sure the old people could keep them propped up.
