Like you, I only know what I read in that article.


Yet you manage to refine more out of it than its contents warrant.


After all, the story alleges that the cyclist admitted to having damaged
a wing mirror with his fist.


No it does not.


Yes, it does.

The cyclist admits to having raised his hand instinctively. Why should this
not be a defensive action rather than the aggressive 'fist' you imply?
('Fist', as someone else has already pointd out, is a word you have chosen to
use and it does not appear anywhere in the report.)


Which particular component of "the story alleges that the cyclist
admitted to having damaged a wing mirror with his fist" are you unable
to accept?


The entire fact - nowhere is the word "fist" used.


Methinks JNugent is but a pale imitation of Maradonna.


Are you unable to read and properly comprehend English?

That's rhetorical, BTW.
