Cyclist assaulted in Sheffield
Long-term subscribers to this list may recall the case in December 2005
where a cyclist was assaulted in Sheffield. The victim reported the case via the CTC forum when looking for advice as to how to proceed, and it got forwarded amongst the various cycling fora. A number of posters on this list suggested that this incident did not ring true and must have been made up. The case has now come to court and was reported in the Sheffield Star on April 27th. A scan is available at http://www.pedalpushers.org.uk/resources/star.gif and back issues are available from the Star offices at York Street, Sheffield, S1 1PU, 0114 276 7676 I trust therefore that the posters who alleged that this story had been fabricated will now recognise that they were wrong and apologise for the distress they have caused to the victim, his family and friends.

I don't understand why the sentence was so lenient. The guy is clearly a nutjob
and should've been locked up either in prison for 6 months-1 year or put in a mental institution |

The sentence is lenient because the government do not give a flying ****. To put things in perspective, I've just been doing some reading about access and paths etc. The people who were up in court for the Kinder Tresspass got 6 months, and I doubt you got out in 3 for good behaviour in the thirties. |

All I can think of is that he made it clear he was terribly middle class and wouldn't do it again. |

Simon Geller Pedal Pushers Sheffield Cycle Campaign. I remember it being brought up, I remember thinking that it sounded incredible. I've just had a quick re-read of the original thread, and yes there were one or two who voiced an opinion of whether this was fact or fiction. Then someone posted that he knew the bloke and correlated the story. The whole point was this story did sound *incredible*. (Definition: So implausible as to elicit disbelief). http://www.sheffieldtoday.net/ViewAr...icleID=1476452 It was a terrible incident, and my best wishes to Andrew. The courts decision was insulting based on the crime. I'm not really sure how these weekly payments are to be made, but the victim will now have to have some sort of contact with the *criminal* for the next five years. Disgraceful. |

Yebbut our entire civilisation is based on the respect for land and property. It is these two things that must be protected above all others lest we descend into anarchy. |

They were charged with "rioutous assembly and assualt". The gamekeeper who got beaten up could walk back to Hayfield, so it was nothing of this magnitude. Besides, the respect for land and property goes hand in hand with respect to other people. I don't think it's possible to respect someone and then steal from them. |
