[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twitter activism forced this guy forward. No regrets.

Until the day you are misidentified for someone else, become a target of the Twitter mob, and see your life destroyed as a result. I suspect you'll have a few regrets then.[/quote]

Here's an idea: don't go after other people (with your bike, or anything else) and you won't have a problem.[/quote]

The entire point is that two people who didn’t go after anyone were wrongly outed on Twitter as the perpetrator.[/quote]

Maybe.  But if the right man was caught, and it is publicized, it shouldn't really matter.

Also, this man felt bad that he was caught.  Nothing more, nothing less. [/quote]

To add, this jackhole should not have sit back and watched while the cops looked for him - he should have turned himself in BEFORE he lost his job.  If this is what it takes for people like this to be outed as the conniving, persistently sneaky, finger pointing, hostile and possibly dangerous excuses for human beings they are, so be it. [/quote]

If he turned himself in, he still would have been fired.  He also would have been admitting guilt.  That would have been incredibly stupid for him to do.  Although he has already been convicted in the court of public opinion, and may very well be guilty, actually getting a conviction or leveraging a plea are very different things.  Only an idiot would make the prosecution’s job easier.[/quote]

His statement admits he did it. [/quote]

Well, that was dumb unless they already worked out a deal which seems unlikely.  The court of public opinion isn’t going to be satisfied with mea culpas and pledges to get counseling.  There would have been plenty of time left to admit guilt and get credit for cooperating within the legal system.

If he has no priors, this is the type of case where there would usual be diversion or a slightly firmer slap on the wrist.  Somehow I don’t see that happening here.[/quote]
