Depends if he was targeted BECAUSE he's a cyclist.
Or whether he was targeted because of what he is and just happened to be on a bike.
So........is a child abuser on a bike a cyclist?
According to the Oxford dictionary " a cyclist is someone who rides a bike" but i get where your coming from.
The comment "This was a deliberate, shocking attack against an innocent man, who was lucky to escape more serious injury".
err no he is not, anyone who abuses a child is not an an innocent man. However taking the law into your own hands is not something i would recommend.
Curious that the Telegraph piece left out the detail.
But vigilante action is a bad idea. If someone is guilty of an offence, there is a proper legal process.
Wow, someone who claims to be a pig can't even work out what the pig in this case actually means.
No wonder crime is on the rise (despite the lies they come out with).
It's not as if anything will happen to the "driver" that will be worthwhile but they must show they are doing something...
The Telegraph article leaves out the background detail.
This story doesn't: http://manchestergazette.co.uk/2014/04/29/police-release-video-cyclist-h...
It's entirely possible this is someone who was targeted not because he was on a bike, but because of who he is.
Yep, it's an alarming incident. Luckily the victim wasn't badly hurt but it could've easily been very different. I'm sure a lot of people will be happier once the driver is found.
I saw this on the Manchester Evening News site. I am at least glad to see that the police recognise that the car was 'used as a weapon'. Hope they catch the driver.
