Police caught him, and he was charged with second degree assault, the same thing Spandex Jerkoff is charged with, plus misdemeanor theft.

At trial, he got a $436 restitution judgement, and no jail time, despite breaking four of my teeth.

No. Jail. Time.



So if THIS guy on the bike gets jail, I’m going to be seriously pissed.


Interesting. How much did it cost to fix your teeth? I would think that after you had a criminal judgment against him, that you would be able to sue him in civil court to get back any money that his assault cost you in time off from work plus any costs that your insurance did not cover, plus some additional for "pain and suffering". Did you sue him for damages?


Yeah I’m sure he had real deep pockets.

I didn’t see him at the BLM protest in Kensington last night though.


Hard to believe he has a nice side, what he did was pretty deliberate - and calculated - he went back to get the flyers.


Or he had a really bad moment that just happened to be captured and go viral. That’s not to excuse what he did or to say he has been an angel whose never lost his cool before, but to assume that he is necessarily some monster who regularly behaves this way may be mistaken.

I don’t know this guy and he certainly could be a jerk through and through. But people posting here also don’t know him and can’t know whether this was out of character or not.

Huh? Have you not read this thread?


Seriously!!!

Is today like “opposite day” or something?

He could have thrown them out almost anywhere. He simply wasn’t thinking about it.


He could have pulled a Gary Condit. I am shocked he still had the stuff.


Gary Condit had a bigger PR staff than this guy - but yeah, same idea. This guy isn't all that bright, but I am certain he thinks he is.

In theory, yes, he could get 10 years for each count, running consecutively. In practice he will see nowhere near that, if he sees any at all.


I think a part of his sentence should be to work with minority high schoolers.


He isn't good enough to work with minority high schoolers. What could they possibly learn from such an asshole?

No, he should be doing his community hours cleaning up shit somewhere, like actual shit.

How did this come to pass? How did he not get jail time?


There’s nothing all that surprising and I wouldn’t think there had to be any terribly unique circumstances. For crimes like that, not to mention what the biker did, there wouldn’t usually be jail time for a first time offender, at least locally. (I’m less familiar with VA since I don’t practice there.)
