Riggo#44 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Man waits 20 hours in line to be the first to legally buy pot in Spokane Washington, then is fired from job after being seen on the news. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/07/10/washington-first-pot-buyer-job/12468647/ Two things stand out...one the woman standing behind him in just a bra. And, two, I thought to myself as I read that article: Oh and one more: They're probably Seahawks fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I would be highly surprised if he did it on purpose. It has been known for fans to get too close and cause large pile-ups that break bones and eliminate whole teams from contention in the Tour. Without seeing more it looked like he was moving over then saw the guy and braced for the impact. To hit a bystander on purpose is reckless to say the least. That said, fans of the Tour need to keep their distance and in crowds on the streets they endanger cyclists who have their feet clamped into the pedals and often break collarbones when they fall after hitting a fan. Nah I call BS. He knew exactly what he was doing. Watch it again. He intentionally sticks his shoulder out towards the guy, stops pedaling to brace himself, and then goes back into the middle from the edge. Dick move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 That was kind of a dick move by the cyclist. I can understand if there is some numbnuts running around on the street in front of them being a jackass (which does happen). But the guy was just taking pictures and was a tad out on the road. You can tell the dude obviously did it on purpose too. No way man. I'm on Team Cyclist on this one. Idiot fans have been endangering the riders all through the UK stages by being on the course for various degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that makes it ok for a cyclist to intentionally target some old guy who was just trying to take pictures and was a fraction over the line and violently knock him to the ground? And I can't imagine anyone watching that clip over a few times carefully and not seeing that the guy did it intentionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It think it was far from intentional on the old man's part. Some jackasses jump out and do stupid stuff and they deserve to get knocked the **** over. That guy was trying to get a picture and was, I'm sure unintentionally, leaning a little bit over the line; it's not like he was standing in the path. The cyclist apparently felt that was provocation enough for a violent and possible serious injury causing response. My guess is he was just fed up with other idiots who were actually in the path and decided to take it out on an innocent old guy trying to get a picture. That doesn't make it ok.

I'm with ya, Tim. the biker was being an asshole. there's no way to make excuses for him LOL. he went outside and even braced for impact. The old guy wasn't trying to be intrusive into the street, he was simply trying to get a picture. Bicyclist +3 d-bag points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's between me dropping a shoulder into an old man who shouldn't be out where he is and hurting 100s of people and possible killing a few... the old man gets the shoulder. Easy peasie lemon squeezy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old guy wasn't even in the way of any particular cyclist. The cyclist moved over to intentionally hit him and then moved back in afterwards. It was completely unnecessary but I'm sure the cyclist felt good afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just because he had a reason doesn't mean it was a good one (for example, doing it because he was just pissed off and needed to vent, or something). Again, the old guy wasn't in the direct path of any of the cyclists. The cyclist who hit him went out of his way to do so and then went back inside. What would you think would be a good reason for doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
