Mob of bicyclists injure motorist in Seattle

SEATTLE (AP) - A mob of bicyclists riding in Seattle with the monthly Critical Mass demonstration injured a motorist after an altercation.
Seattle Police spokesman Mark Jamieson says that on Friday between 100 and 300 bicyclists were riding down a street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, blocking traffic on both lanes, when a man and a woman in a Subaru station wagon tried to pull out of a parking spot.
But some of the bicyclists blocked them, sat on the car and began banging on the vehicle. Words were exchanged between the male driver and the bicyclists.
The driver feared being assaulted and backed up, but bumped a biker and enraged the group. In response, some of the bikers smashed the windshield and rear window. He tried to drive away but hit another bicyclist.
The car stopped a block down and the bicyclists surrounded the car. One biker punched the driver through an open window and another used a knife to slash the tires.
When the driver got out of the car a male suspect struck him with an unknown object in the back of the head. The driver was later taken to the hospital. His female companion was not injured
Jamieson says two men were arrested and police are looking for the suspect who struck the driver in the back of the head. He added police know the man's identity.
According to the Critical Mass web site, every month, bicyclists ride to promote bicycle use and assert cyclists' right to the road among many reasons.
This is a prime example of the level of extremism that has invaded this country. We also have had a few incidents in the Portland area, but this one takes the cake.
I have seen these people, zooming in and out of traffic, not at all obeying any laws or traffic signals.“In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned. When his cause succeeds however,the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a Patriot.â€

Run them over and get to safety . A bicycle is no match for a car . If you injure enough maybe they will get the message that they do not own the road .

This is the anarchist type mentallity. They believe in something and expect everyone else to not only agree with it, but to abide by it. If you don't you will be harassed and possibly even beaten (as with these several incidents in our NW news has shown).

I am all for making oneself independent and self-sufficient, but there is a real side to life which does not involve being stuck living in some inner-city neighborhood where people ride their bikes everywhere and buy only organic stuff.
Reality is we simply have to live and do the best we can with where we are and who we are, and be able to live our own lives without someone attempting to force their chosen lifestyles down our throats.“In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned.

So true AmericanPatriot.
There is this woman who works in my husbands department. She is about the age of my oldest one, she has the dreadlocks, eats nuts for lunch and ride the bus or bike. She is the quinteesential liberal from Portland. Now mind you she is nice and does not talk about her stuff at work, other than trying to wear a sweatshirt that says "Animal rights now!".
She overheard my son saying he likes to go to this one reclamation place for lumber and hardware, as well as the Habitat for Humanity reclamation store too. She perked up and acted surprised. He told her he thinks it is good to not waste stuff and also saves money.
What these people forget in their zeal is that although we do not share their way of doing things and mostly not their core beliefs, we all care about where we live and of course not being wasteful. They have this image that those of us who live "normal" and not like them are somehow these walking garbage dumps, spewing toxic waste where we go.“In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned.
