Default Cyclist threatened to stab woman, yet no charges brought. Why?

Why no charges??

"The driver of a black Honda CRV – a local woman aged in her 40s –
challenged a female cyclist who she believed was about to go through a
red traffic light."

A vigilante, huh? Was it a verbal challenge, illegal use of the horn
or a threat with a lethal weapon?


Reading it, it sounds much more like a criminal on a bike versus a
law-abiding victim, doesn't it?


It says of the driver "believed [the person on the bicycle] was about to
go through a red traffic light".

An attempt at telepathy. Was it you?

"It was reported that the cyclist then verbally abused the woman, kicked
and punched the car, attempted to rip the wing mirror from the vehicle
and then opened the passenger door and slammed it shut."

A description of the bike coming from behind, legally using the space,
and the driver deciding it was a good idea to squeeze it against the kerb.

Do you approve of the criminal cyclist's actions?

No charges have been brought so there is no chance of it going to court
to prove criminal action. I thought you held that principle in high regard.
