None of what anyone has read is a proven "fact", we are all just posting our opinions on what's been reported.

The FACTS will be testified to in a court of law. At that point, we will be able to comment on actual FACTS.

   

QBall, contrary to your extremely rude remark to me in that negative mark system (how juvenile), I am not dense, you are just someone who bristles at the thought that your opinion might not always be correct.

   

It would be interesting to see if you hold yourself up to the same high standards if something similar ever happens to you.

   

You're assuming that everyone would behave the way in which Bryant acted.

You assume wrong.

   

Oooooo nice dodge.
And yer right, not everyone would have reacted the same way Bryant did. Some might have just got out of their car and pounded the shit out of the little fucker!

   

That's true, still others would have used both cell phones that were available and called 911, as both Bryant and his wife apparently did (media reports).

Others would have talked calmly to the guy to find out what he wanted, i.e., was his bike damaged from Bryants car beforehand?

And still others would have left their car and run to the nearest shop/store/restaurant.

There were many alternatives open to Bryant, unforauntely he chose the wrong one.

   

No, jumping on Bryants car was the wrong choice.
And yeah, he's gonna run and leave his wife in the car. A convertible nontheless. Wow, you have pretty low standards for men eh?

It's still interesting that you keep referring to what "others" would do and yet keep dodging what YOU would have done. Because nobody honestly CAN say what they'd do in a similar situation. Without having experienced something similar, "others" have no basis for claiming how "others" would handle it.
What it really boils down to is, either Bryant ran a red light or stop sign, or the cyclist did. Considering the events of earlier that night, it's not a stretch to presume the "victim" was already "in a mood". I'm willing to bet Bryant wasn't even given the opportunity to try and diffuse the situation before it got out of hand.

   

Where did I say Bryant should have left the car and leave his wife behind?

It doesn't matter what I or anyone else would have done in a similar situation, because that's sheer hypothesis.

The fact is that because of Bryant, a father of 4 is now dead.

Link to either Bryant or the cyclist running a red light or stop sign please.

Media reports that the cyclist slammed his bag down on the hood of Bryant's car after Bryant hit the cyclist with his car (probably accidentally). Bryant then took off in his car. It's not a stretch to assume that an owner of a Saab would be royally pissed if someone slammed anything down on their car, so it's not a stretch to assume that Bryant was pissed himself at the time.

Two angry, out of control adults are a recipe for disaster.

I'm willing to bet the cyclist demanded that his bike be repaired if, in fact, Bryant had earlier hit it accidentally, and the response was one of pedal to the metal.

That's just my theory, obviously no facts have been established in a court of law yet.

   

Excellent point #9, Bryant did what 99.9% of the population would do in those circumstances, at least those with any sense, he did his best to get himself and his wife out of the situation the best way he could. When Sheppard decided to hang on to the car when Bryant took off was totally irrational on his part, and unfortunately he paid for that error in judgment with his life.

   

99% of the population.......link to this poll you've conducted please.

   

99% of statistics are made-up on the spot!

But I tend to agree with Hyack and PA#9

   

From the headline article itself:
"Witnesses told police the cyclist collided with a black Saab on Bloor at Bay"

Yep, somebody must run something red at that intersection. Big traffic lights on every corner there. It's not rocket science to make the connection.

   

See there's where you yourself are assuming facts not in evidence. We've all done that on this thread.

Bloor St is a very long street. In order to put perspective on WHERE any incident occurred on Bloor, most anyone would say Bloor and whatever.

It doesn't mean that anyone ran a red light or stop sign.

BTW, where is the stop sign at Bloor and Bay?

   

ummm I'm pretty sure I said traffic lights. Oh wait, yes I did. And Bay and Bloor is a pretty specific corner. Not sure what yer rambling about tho.
Fact, traffic lights cycle. Fact, one set is always red. No assuming there, someone ran a red light.

   

Here's what you said up above:

"What it really boils down to is, either Bryant ran a red light or stop sign, or the cyclist did."
