Man Drives Over Bicyclists, Then Calls Them “Eco-terrorists”
Aug 4th, 2008 by Will Potter
A Seattle man who drove his Subaru through a group of Critical Mass bike riders has called the cyclists… wait for it… “eco-terrorists.”
It seems that the lunatic driver, Mark, says he felt intimidated and afraid because of the cyclists, so he tried to rev his engine and instead accidentally put a couple people in the hospital. Oops.
The Stranger’s blog interviewed Mark:
While a some cyclists I’ve spoken with have written Mark off as another indignant road-hog, Mark says he actually used to be a bike commuter when he lived in Seattle a few years ago. “I sympathize with [cyclists’] cause. I ride bikes too. I’m a liberal hippie democrat,” he says, adding “I’m gay, the person with me was a lesbian and we were attacked by eco-terrorists. It’s the most Seattle thing that could have happened.
This wasn’t the only recent attack on “eco-terrorist” bikers. Check out this YouTube clip of another Critical Mass ride where a cop randomly tackles a cyclist (and the cyclist was charged with assault and resisting arrest).
I think this may actually top the story of whalers calling Paul Watson an “eco-terrorist,” then shooting him.
What do you think?
how are their no comments on this?!
this is such BS.. yes, I’m a terrified stick shift driver who ‘accidently’ shifted into first (if youve ever driven a stick before, even if terrible at it like myself, thats simply not possible) while revving my engine cause I was scared. And I’m gay and a lawyer and with a lesbian friend, so I must obviously be right (not trying to dis the LGBT community, just taking facts from the story).
Our country has gotten so screwed up they can see the truth right before their eyes (like the NYC critical mass particpant who got body checked by a cop out of nowhere) and still side with the aggressors, calling the victims ‘pieces of shit’ and ‘deserving’ of their injuries.
What the fuck?
