30 days seems kinda light for nearly killing somebody and definitely giving them lifelong problems….
Go back and read the article. He’s in jail (not prison) for 30 days pending further investigation.

Ah, so the title of this post is completely wrong, since he has not been sentenced yet.
kinda?!
that should be treated as atempted murder (period)well the “kinda” was sardonic
He drives a G-Class SUV, they start at $148,000.
He beat a bicyclist unconscious just for complaining.
I think the assumption that he’s a rich, entitled douche is justified.
Take his license and crush his car.
should be 30 months
That’s fucked up.
Cyclists should keep a nice, long screw in their bag. When someone parks like an asshole, no need to say anything, just prop the screw up under one of their tires and get on with your day.
As someone who was yelled at for “parking in the bike lane” because I had a flat tire and that was the only place I could find to pull over …. Just assuming the worst and jumping right to violence is part of the problem, not the solution
Just a note here: Having mechanical issues with your vehicle (your private property) does not give you the right to break driving laws. A car with a flat is still capable of driving enough to move out of the way to a space that isn’t impeding traffic and/or putting others in danger.
Granted, blocking a bike lane isn’t likely to put someone in immediate danger, but you are still blocking people from getting past so some amount of anger should be expected. Cyclists have to deal with so much crap being parked/dumped/littered in their bike lanes.
blocking a bike lane isn’t likely to put someone in immediate danger
If that were true, we wouldn’t need bike lanes in the first place
what part of your story justifies beating an innocent person unconcious?
They yelled at them of course! /S

One violent attack doesn’t justify an arms race.
you are replying to the wrong person
Deflating tyres is not violent.
Some people are not humane.
