A witness says Bedney was riding a Lime DC scooter near the victims' house when one of the victims shouted to Bedney, "Hey, my kids are playing out here."

Bedney and the witness got into a verbal altercation wherein the witness picked up and threw the scooter towards Bedney's feet. The witness says that's when Bedney put a ski mask over his face and pulled out a semi-automatic handgun from his bag, firing multiple shots towards the victims.

Wow! So was that the defending his wife? Or did she throw the scooter? Like road rage without a car. Dumb to incite because you never know and people really don't like things thrown at them. Said he was riding it near their house. I keeping hearing about mowing down toddlers.

So -

A) they had their kid blocking access on a public sidewalk

B) got so mad at someone using the sidewalk that they assaulted him first

They didn’t deserve to be shot but were entitled and aggressive in both circumstances prior to the shooting.

Reminds me of the CA mom who cut someone off in traffic and flipped them off but was sobbing about her baby not deserving to be shot in the news conference hours later.

This victim blaming is disgusting. Electric scooters are not supposed to to be on the sidewalk either.

I agree that the victim blaming is bad. In this case, self-defense does not work following the assault because he has the opportunity to flee and the response was disproportionate to the threat. However, a proportionate response could have been to punch the husband square in the jaw. Unfortunately, too many people in this city are prone to resort to gun violence instead of using their head.

Also, are there rules against electric scooters on sidewalks? I am not sure that there are.

There aren’t. The PP is just talking out of their butt. In fact, scooters are supposed to be on sidewalks, especially in one-way traffic areas like where this happened in order to not interfere with road traffic.

Scooters and bikes are allowed on sidewalks, except in the Central Business District, and scooter users still ride them in restricted areas. The legislation urges users to travel in protected bike lanes when available.

So the scooter rider had the right of way on a public sidewalk and the parent who threw the scooter at them was in the wrong.

Lol. Just because scooters are allowed on the sidewalk doesn’t mean they always have the right of way. Good try though.

What is “right of way” on a sidewalk?

They intentionally do not publicly identify the names of witnesses. But all evidence points to the witness also being the husband.

I read that report as the WITNESS was the one who threw the scooter, not one of the parents?

I live in the suburbs and drive into the city for work and park on the street. I have a dent in my driver side door that speaks to those scooters causing damage when not hurled but presumably just tipped over. The guy’s family didn’t deserve to be shot, especially not the innocent kid, that poor kid has at least one parent who is a hot headed moron.

Did your kid get run over, given different timing your kid might have been run over doesn’t count. Look I wanted to hurl my son’s dump truck at the guy in the pick up truck who didn’t yield when we were in the cross walk, but you know I’m with my kid and what if i hit the truck and the guys got out of his truck and and attacked me and my kid, or backed up his truck and ran us both over.

I didn’t do that because my instinct was to protect my son. I yelled and grabbed my son, and cursed his tail lights. Because you know someone who is willing to almost run a cute toddler and his mom over isn’t a nice guy... and might have serious anger issues, so I let it go. The guy who shot the kid is going to jail. The man who threw the scooter needs to lose his wife and kid.

That stretch of 10th is pretty quiet. It only has one lane of car traffic and a dedicated bike lane on the street. There's no reason for someone to be illegally zooming on the sidewalk into pedestrians.

It's disturbing that you think that telling someone to ride their scooter on the street as required by law is a shooting offense. Also, it sounds like you think that cutting someone off in traffic is a natural precursor to gun violence. What is wrong with you?

That is not all that happened. There was also an assault. However, yes, not a shooting offense.

She was probably crying because her baby didn’t deserve to be shot. You’re old enough now that it’s time to learn gun violence isn’t the answer.

Have you tried to lift one of these? They are heavy . I know because I drag them away from the front of my house

They weigh 27 pounds - about the size of a chunky toddler.

That’s heavy to throw at a person

No, it’s not. And describing that effort as ‘super-human’ is beyond a stretch.

You want heavy - try throwing a 249-lb manhole cover after your baby fell in the sewer.
