So you agree there is no evidence the pedestrian was the victim. I assume you will be retracting your previous post.

The pedestrian could have been on a mobile (not unusual these days) and blindly walked out into the road in front of the cyclist and knocked him off. Then who is the victim?

Deal with the facts as known.

Not with your imaginary visions.

Exactly.
Now what FACTS to you have to support your claim the pedestrian was the victim?

We start with the scarpering by the guilty cyclist and his not coming
forward when asked to by the police.

Do you say that he failure to identify himself is a mark of innocence?

How do you know the cyclist is aware of all the fuss? it's not exactly national news.

It doesn't have to be.

So how do you know the cyclist is aware the police are looking for him?
From the cyclist's POV it may have been a minor incident with no harm to anyone so gave it no further thought. Having pedestrians walking into the road in front of you is not an uncommon experience.

Even for cyclists, violently ploughing into and knocking down an elderly
man cannot be a common experience, surely?

Are all cylists so thick that they think such trauma to a septuagenarian
is something that can be shrugged off with a cup of tea and an Elastoplast?

Would *you* have scarpered on your bike in such circumstances? Really?


Where is your evidence for the cyclist "violently ploughing into and knocking down" anyone?


Oh, only the fact that the OP reported "An elderly man is fighting for
his life after being knocked down by a cyclist".

Does that mean that he wasn't knocked down by the cyclist so violently
as to leave him critically injured?


Where is your evidence it happened the way a clearly biased reported says it did?


Do you struggle with English and comprehension as badly as that day to day?


I am not from Liverpool.


You still have not answered the question of how you know the cyclist is aware the police are looking for him.


Having inflicted that level of injury on the pedestrian victim in such a
violent collision as to leave him fighting for his life, he will either
be well aware of the likely outcome or so thick and so sociopathic that
he doesn't care. Or probably both.


So no evidence.


If a pedestrian walked out in front of my bicycle and we collided I would have stopped even if it was not my fault just like the vast majority of cyclists. The fact the cyclist did not stop suggests the cyclist did everything possible to avoid the errant pedestrian and was unaware there had been any significant contact.


And after inflicting such horrific injuries on the victim, you would
just scarper and not give it another thought?

Thanks for at least admitting it.


Please provide evidence to support this claim.
