If you people can't read that article and have a little compassion on someone who clearly didn't not intended to kill 2, maybe 3, people, then you are too emotionally involved in this story.

And don't ever talk to me again about what a compassionless SOB I am.
THe you are either an idiot, are compleltly uninformed about the history of biking accidents, or are just choosing to be obnoxious.

POssibily an idiot becasue having comapssion does not mean that as a matter of prosecutorial policy people that are criminally negligent should not be prosecuted as a nice 'gesture.' "Oops, sorry", doesn't cut it when you are on the opposite side fo the road and when you are supposedly trained to drive properly and uphold and enforce the laws. I have all sorts of compassion for him. BUt I still want him prosecuted.

You are uninformed becaseu there have been more than a few "accidents" that have taken the lives of cyclists that were almost certainyl examples of murder. Mike's suggestion while unlikely, is not nearly as far-fetched as you seem to believe. Your reaction suggests to me that you do nto ride a bike. If not, then shut up about this becasue you have absolutely no clue. People try to scare bike riders ALL THE TIME. SO, going back to the idiot issue, if you think that it would be fun to scare the hell out of a bike rider and you create an accident that kills the bike rider (and this has happened too many times) that is murder my firend. Murder, Tex. SO wrap your mind around that for a minute.

Finally, you said that it would be a nice gesture for the families not to prosecute. SO when you said that, you didn't mean it? Becasue it sure sounds like you said that you think it would be good that he not be prosecuted. Can YOU read THAT?
