[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The *rider* ended up in the hospital. As I said, they are only endangering themselves.

Leave them alone. [/quote]

I don’t think you read the OP’s link.
A pedestrian was hit in a crosswalk.

“It was at 18th and Mass NW. The man was an older black man, probably in his 60s. The biker was on wrong side of road when he hit the man. The biker was in blue but I didn’t see his face. He stopped briefly to look behind him but then kept going.
A crowd of bystanders was with the man until EMS came. He had lost consciousness and huge bump on his head.”[/quote]

Turns out that actually the pedestrian pushed the rider off the bike, and then the rider punched the pedestrian.

And if the bikes/ATVs weren't there antagonizing everyone none of it would have happened. Furthermore, if the police was doing their job and dispersed them, none of it would have happened.[/quote]

So the people on dirt bikes are dangerous because other people might get angry at them and punch them?

No, that's not how it works.[/quote]
