[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The apology is bunk. No one just snaps and attacks, rages like this out of the blue for the first time ever. I'm sure he's had many raging encounters - on the trail, on the road, with people he knows... this is just the first time he got caught and is being held accountable. [/quote]

And now he realizes he needs help. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Is no one in your world entitled to a second chance?[/quote]
He must not have kids. My father is a mean old fart, but he would never approach, threaten or put his hands on somebody else's kids.[/quote]

He apparently has 3 kids. I still can’t wrap my head around the instinct to dominate someone so much smaller than you. The  tiny teen girl must have ended up with bruises all over her arm from where he wrestled the tape off of it. I don’t think there would have been nearly the same amount of outrage over this crime if we didn’t all feel so protective of that girl/young woman.[/quote]

I have seen no reports that she suffered injuries of any kind and his actions, while completely out of line, did not look to me like it would have caused bruising like you described.  Injury to the guy he apparently knocked over would have been more likely, but if there were any injury I assume it would have been widely reported.[/quote]

The teen recording the video ended up with a cut on his calf from where the bike struck him. He posted a pic on Reddit. I disagree re the arm bruising. If you look at the video, the large tape roll was around her arm, and he grabbed her arm quite roughly and pulled hard at the tape while she resisted. The teen who posted on Reddit said both his friends valued their privacy and didn’t want to be IDd, so I wouldn’t necessarily expect any updates if the small one had bruises or scrapes.

I am also not sure if bruising would change the second degree assault charge to something more serious; presumably not, since the boy was injured and the assault on him was classified as second degree as well. [/quote]

Should it matter if they have any injuries?  My God, look at the rage on the guy! Plus, he came back onto the trail for the sole purpose of doing what he did - awful excuse for a human being.  Awful. [/quote]
