  1. They could have headlines this "Careless Cager Gets Three Years."

    Last time I rode by, the "ghost bike" at the accident site was still
    there. I wonder whether the USMC flag is scaring the cops who like to
    remove roadside memorials off, or if they are unsure as to whether the
    tribute is on public roadway land or Marine Corps Air Station Miramar
    land.

    I can't help but wonder whether the sentence would have been shorter,
    or suspended, if the victim had been someone else.

  2. It must be that I'm still too new to this alternative universe.

    To me, a "careless cager" would be a basketball player with four fouls.

    Ah, but wouldn't he then become a "careful cager" in order to avoid fouling
    out?

    (Not to make light of the actual tragedy, of course, one of the saddest San
    Diego bike episodes in memory. Totally senseless and needless.)

    I don't even think this case should have even gone to court. The
    cyclist was probably riding down the middle of the road blocking
    traffic.

    Top-posting moron says "Huh?"

    Cameron is just the latest moniker for our unimaginative troll. This
    guy is not clever, he is not creative, or even the least bit good at
    the art of trolling.
    My guess, is that he is a pathetic little weasel, with a variety of
    antisocial and emotional issues. In a battle of wits, he will lose. In
    the real world, he is a disappointment to everyone who knows him. He
    even loathes himself. To know him, is to pity him.

    Not for him, but for me -

    Life is Good!

    Yeah, I know. Each day it's obvious after 2 or 3 posts. (He's really
    trashing our newsgroups, eh? The havoc!)

    He's a poopy head.

    I like that! It reminds me of a personalized license plate I saw once:
    "FECO-POO".

    I was thinking he was more like a Net Rat:

    or possibly Enfant Provocateur:
    http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/enfantprovocateur.htm

    Certainly not sufficiently creative to be any more than that.

    Misdemeanor Vehicular Manslaughter??

    Sounds like the ultimate oxymoron to me.
