He’s a psycho. I’ll repeat that I don’t think his actions were prompted out of hate for the black lives matter movement. I think he’s just one of those psycho cyclists who think they own the trail. These kids were in a group of three and were probably taking up one side of the path. I’m sure he initially stopped to yell at them for blocking the path and not because of the substance of the signs.
FWIW in that small stretch of the trail there are frequently signs up, either for lost animals or Ive seen memorials for a young woman who died by suicide on the overpass. Signs aren’t a big deal. There are a few all the time but I’ve never seen littering as a problem for signage. The only real littering I’ve seen are discarded gel packs from cyclists (and runners) as well as bags of dog waste.
So did he have an accent when he yelled at you? I assume it's him with the accent in the video.

There is never a good excuse for assault and the fact that it was a child is reprehensible.
According to Barr there are good excuses for assault. Like photo-ops.

That is an issue the police can deal with separately. Not the point here.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:This story was on the local news this morning! They showed the whole encounter. It was AWFUL. He grabbed fliers from a teen girl MUCH smaller than him. A woman or other teen was screaming "Dont you touch her! Get away from her!" From the chilling screams it sounded like her parent. It gave me chills.
I saw the whole thing and there is no other interpretation. He attacked teens for holding up BLM fliers. Chilling and I hope they catch him, arrest him and he gets fired.
I'm absolutely NOT defending his actions and he needs to be held accountable. But why are the gals' parents allowing them to litter in a park? I can't freaking stand litter and fliers and tape are litter. Plus nobody gave them permission (permit) to put fliers up on public land. It's very entitled behavior. Put fliers up on your front door or your car -- not in a public park.

I have eyes in my head. He put his hands on a child. He put his hands on someone else's daughter. No, no, no.

Can't be, Barr is seriously overweight.
The bike clothing makes you look thin.

Also, folks on Twitter are saying that the Aussie voice is the person taking the video, not the assailant. What says DCUM?
(I'm Deaf, by the way, hence not being able to listen myself. Also hence my existing anger at aggressive cyclists on mixed use trails)
Both have clear accents. The guy filming and the angry bike man.
“Angry bike man.”

Yeah, nice excuse. He's doing damage control.
The Lance Armstrong wannabees are all aggressive and hostile. Every last one. That kind of cycling needs to be outlawed because they are a menace on the roads, on the trails, everywhere they ride. Trying to walk my dog on the W&OD trail is like navigating a Russian Roulette, every weekend. The problem is half those cyclists are lawyers, etc. They protect their right to terrorize everyone else, and get away with it most of the time.

That was wrong.
What was wrong?
The name of the person was wrong. It was based on a ride taken on June 2 but the event happened on June 1.
