The sheriff’s office did not provide additional details, saying the “isolated” case remained under active and ongoing investigation.

I really wonder what sort of PR strategy it is to call a vehicular manslaughter case isolated. Are they trying to emphasise that he didn't drive into a crowd or what? Or is the idea to make sure nobody gets any ideas about passing new laws for the protection of bicycle riders, since this was "isolated" rather that structural?

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
