I was at a fucking stop light. Jesus. I wasn't moving. They whipped out in front of me, splitting lanes and then crossed over in front of me on the crosswalk.

Can't you admit that sometimes, a cyclist can do the wrong thing?

No matter how badly a cyclist fucks up, you took responsibility when you got behind the wheel of a car. You chose fast individual climate controlled transport at the expense of the cimate and the immediate safety of everyone around you.

Anything that happens from that point on, even if someone else could have avoided it, is your fault for making this greedy selfish fucked up choice. Nothing they do, up to and including suicide attempts, absolves you of blame.

Do not blame your victim for dressing slutty or failing to say "no" loudly enough.
