Do...Dear "not a yuppy, not a car driver". Do a google search for a similar incident that happened two days after Al Sheppard died. A courier, mad that he had been cut off (by a silver Mercedes) rode alongside the driver's window, punching at his head as both the bike and car kept in motion. The driver, after about 100 metres, pulled to the right side of the road, got out on the passenger side, came around and proceeded to beat the crap out of the courier. When police arrived, they both refused to press charges. Those two were "men". You and Mr. Bryant... not so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480919235180437564.post-38816079133094893792010-06-03T03:46:09.003-04:002010-06-03T03:46:09.003-04:00Elle, I appreciate your empathy but hugging a thug...Elle, I appreciate your empathy but hugging a thug doesn't work. I cannot judge by some shoddy video why Bryant's car shot forward and hit Sheppard. What I do know is that if you did that accidentally and you stopped to see if he was alright, or to say sorry, "you're not gonna get away that easy". And when Sheppard started shouting, yelling and possibly punching you through your car window, I hope for your sake you would be smart enough to hit the gas peddle. I am sad that someone died that night, Really. But you seem like a sweet person, and given the choice of who is going to live, I hope you would pick you.<br /><br />That's all I was trying to say.

It's that kind of attitude that pits people against one another and makes any kind of progressive change in this city impossible.<br /><br />There will always be cyclists and always be drivers. This tragedy(and the countless tragedies every day on our streets) should make us realize that it's time to put down this petty feud and get some bike lanes.teehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097615362565614122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480919235180437564.post-59160506296361295092010-06-02T11:48:43.333-04:002010-06-02T11:48:43.333-04:00I can not tolerate the downtown cyclists.

They consistently break traffic laws, are rude, aggressive, and for the most part generally vile.<br /><br />Any regular commuter would tell you the same thing. They are distracting and are in opposition to much of the vehicular and foot traffic.<br /><br />Having said that, I wish nobody died in this incident.

However, let's take a moment to think about that hypothetical situation anyways. Apparently, Darcy Sheppard was being aggressive with people in CARS that day; therefore, I'm sure he would have posed no real harm to you and your girlfriend. However, Bryant's driving was out of control and he could have very easily hurt someone or even kill them. OH WAIT A MINUTE! THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what kind of person Darcy Sheppard was. He is dead. He is not on trial. And Michael Bryant is responsible for his death whether you (and the courts) would like to acknowledge this or not. I am a driver and I am absolutely positive that if I hit someone accidently - let alone killed them because I was driving recklessly - I would not be let off so easily. After all, I can't afford a PR firm to spin the story.ellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480919235180437564.post-54506505473420700692010-06-01T22:00:13.807-04:002010-06-01T22:00:13.807-04:00You're right, why would a person do such a thi...You're right, why would a person do such a thing like attack a car, or reach into it's window, much less more than once in one night... right he might be looking for a fight. Uhm you forgot to mention the part in the article where Sheppard attacked a car earlier. He was looking for a fight, he got one. I was out walking late with my girlfriend that night not far from where all this happened, and if Sheppard had not ridden Bryants car into a fire hydrant, my girlfriend and I could have been Sheppard's next victims. We didn't have a car to fight back with.
