    Why did violence erupt at Critical Mass ride in Seattle? | Seattle Times

    if you drive your car into a group of bike riders and run people over because you're "late for a reservation", you and your car deserve what they get.

    the driver's story (http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/the_driver_speaks) about just wanting to rev his engine and not knowing the car was in gear is somewhat plausible, but still, you can't blame people for how they responded.

    the driver does get decency points for saying the critical mass people should not be prosecuted.

    Liberty City Police Face Allegations Of Incompetence, Brutality

    mmm....g.t.a. is the pinnacle of western civilization

    Quoted: LIBERTY CITY—I was shot 14 times on my way to work today, including twice by police, said one Algonquin-area resident. That is unacceptable.

    Quoted: Many blame the LCPD directly for the increase in criminal activity, citing the department's lax procedure for arresting criminals, which involves taking 10 percent of the suspect's money, confiscating his weapons, and simply releasing him from custody later that day. Outraged citizens say this is not enough, especially in a city where assault rifles can be found on factory roofs and grenade caches are located under the globe at the old World's Fair site.
