How in God's name did you leap to the assumption that me pointing out that an aggressive cyclist is a dangerous thing is me assuming that an aggressive car driver is an OK thing? Or are you participating in the classic but oh Car Drivers also kill people so it is OK if a biker kills someone? Let us be clear here. As a pedestrian, I don't want any one fucking killing me.

Oh, Chris Bucchere got 3 years of probation. For killing a human being.

As you surely read, plenty of people get zero years of probation for killing a human being (or multiples).

You seemed to be plenty enraged with Bucchere, when his case is an obvious outlier for the system as a whole.

This is why we discuss, to calibrate expectations and guide our understanding.

No, I am enraged by the idea of road aggression and pointed out that there are cases where similar things can be dangerous.

It is not obvious to me how you using italics in the term "outlier" makes his case an outlier.
