Holy fermenting [censored] in a bucket, Batman; that's some scary stuff! You have
to wonder (along with all of the other things that this has to make you
wonder about) how many people came out of a shop/restaurant/whatever only to
find that their bike lock had been cut and their bike stolen by the police?
Or how many people were simply cycling through the city, not connected with
Critical Mass in any way and found themselves being arrested for commiting a
perfectly legal act?

Goodness gracious, I know what you're trying to do. We don't want any of
that sort of thing up here.
