i'm not showing empathy for the thug(s). i'm holding back commenting on the one who is paralyzed other than pointing out that is a consequence of this event.
my empathy is for the driver. i fully understand his flight or fight running over bikes and bikers to get out of an explosive situation. i fully understand his probably being a sunday driver. i get being distracted while driving.
so after 2 pages peppered with gfyers stating they'd happily run over people, i.e., putting themselves in the same situation, i finally chimed in.
the only difference is i hit the rewind button a bit and said if i were him i would have realized the situation unfolding when i saw a bunch of jiggling headlights fast approaching in my rear view.
several people took issue with that, calling me a sociopath, bullshitter, not capable of understanding, etc.
