Something tells me that you wouldn't be as distressed if a motorist
was violently carjacked. In fact, no doubt you'd be rather pleased
(and I'm sure you won't deny it): full of the kind of sick, twisted,
perverse, sadistic pleasure that car-haters feel whenever motorists
are made to suffer.

Have you ever carjacked anyone on top of your other crimes? Perhaps
after engineering some sort of conflict with them while cycling, a la
"Magnatom" (i.e. you)? After all, then you've got an excuse to steal
their car, as they've shown that they're too dangerous to use it
themsleves (except of course that they haven't, because you caused the
initial incident, but when you're mental it's easy to kid yourself
about these things, isn't it Spindrift?)

By the way, what is the point in bullying motorists who are unable to
use any other form of transport (e.g. because they're too frail)? What
exactly are you hoping that they'll do if they're persecuted enough?
Just give up going anywhere and lose their independence, simply
because you and a handful of others have an irrational dislike of cars
and the freedom they represent? That really shows what scum
car-haters are. Trying to bully people out of their cars is bad
enough when they have an alternative (albeit less convenient/more
expensive/etc), but persecuting the sick, the disabled and the old, to
whom the car is often a lifeline, is incredibly low. How do you sleep
at night? Can't you at least leave the vulnerable out of your
thoroughly mean-spirited, relentlessly spiteful, idiotic campaign?
