That's a disrespectful way to describe the trial judge who remarked on the cyclist's lack of remorse. |

Motorists kill people every day, without attracting the venom that this 18 year old (at the time of the accident) has attracted. This is similar to the Charlie Gard case. In that case, numbskulls reckoned that it must be a hugely important legal precedent, the first time a parent has tried to oppose the wishes of a doctor, the first time a court has denied a parent the right to take a child abroad for treatment. Here, it's assumed that it's the first time a cyclist has caused someone's death, the first time a cyclist has failed to apologise to someone who has stepped out into his path, the first time a cyclist has deserved to go to gaol for his evil behaviour and evil attitude. This is not about hurt feelings. No, you're wrong. The feelings of the whole nation have been hurt. It's Princess Diana mode all over again. "Your people are suffering. Speak to us, ma'am". |

Motorists kill people every day, without attracting the venom that this 18 year old (at the time of the accident) has attracted. There are two separate responses to that, both valid. A. A driver killing a pedestrian whilst driving a vehicle which had no functioning brakes, and who tried to blame the victim on the basis that there was no need to try to stop by means of the clutch and gears because the pedestrian hadn't left him enough time for that operation would (rightly) be the subject of some opprobrium B. So what? This isn't about other people being killed by yet other peopole. It is about that poor woman being killed by that killer cyclist. This is similar to the Charlie Gard case. Is it? Those involved were the child's parents, the clinical staff management of the hospital, certain individuals and organisations in the USA and many other people who contributed to a crowd-fund. Oh, and Charlie himself. Which of them was the cyclist on the bike without brakes? This is not about hurt feelings. No, you're wrong. The feelings of the whole nation have been hurt. It's Princess Diana mode all over again. "Your people are suffering. Speak to us, ma'am". That's odd. The court and jury seem to have taken the view that an offence has been committed. Perhaps more than one. When are you going to set them right? |

Motorists kill people every day, without attracting the venom that this 18 year old (at the time of the accident) has attracted. And without doing what he did, and without posting what he posted on social media. This is similar to the Charlie Gard case. Not in the slightest. -- Jack |
