Another month, another Critical Mass event includes beating a four wheeler, this time in Seattle:
According to Jamieson, as the Critical Mass group moved down the street, blocking traffic, some riders got in the way of the Subaru and prevented it from leaving. Some bikers sat on the car and were banging on it, he said.
“The driver was pretty fearful that he was about to be assaulted by the bicyclists,” Jamieson said.
The man tried to back up, but bumped into a biker. “This enraged the group,” Jamieson said.
Several of the bikers bashed up the Subaru, shattering the windshield and rear window, Jamieson said.
The driver tried to drive away, but hit another bicyclist, Jamieson said. Still, he drove about a block, to the corner of Aloha and 15th Avenue East, before the Critical Mass riders cornered the car again and started spitting on it and banging against it.
One bicyclist punched the driver through his open window, and another used a knife to slash the Subaru’s tires, Jamieson said.
The driver got out of his car, and was hit in the back of the head, opening a large gash.
Wow, just like San Fransisco.
You know, if they keep at it and this spreads, eventually cities will ban these events. More oppression for the poor, poor bike lovers everywhere, especially the leftist thugs who like any excuse to damage the straights with “cause.”

not sure if I would bring it down to leftists. Many bicyclists are jerks regardless of their leaning to the left or right (ie. riding on sidewalks, going through redlights, general disregard for walkers and other vehicles).
Bicycles should obey the same rules that a motor vehicle does. The police should start cracking down on alot of these people who disregard the safety of others.
