    Well done people you covered yourself in glory tonight.

    Several posts removed.

    If you want to laugh at people being run over then do it elsewhere.

    How nice. A driver rams down a load of people including children and you feel the need to post your homicidal fantasies.

    I disagree with critical mass and along with other things, that does not give me the right to kill or injure those who do them.

    Awful thing to do. Hope the people were ok.

    Would it be horribly insensitive if I use this as a lyric for a song? "After he passed, it became a scene of war, twisted bicycles and lots of people bleeding on the floor"

    Man Who Plowed Into A Group Of Bikers Is A Brazilian Central Banker, And He's Charged With Attempted Murder

    More news has come out about the man who plowed his car into a group of bikers last Friday in Porto Alegre.

    It turns out that the driver, 47-year old Richard Neis, works at the Brazilian central bank, and he's since been placed under psychiactric care.

    According to Zero Hora, the police found Neis' car abandoned near downtown Porto Alegre early Saturday morning.

    In his defense, Neis' lawyer says the bikers had been harassing the banker and his 15-year old son, but a biker witness says that he heard Neis say, "But I'm in a hurry," to someone in the group of about 100 bikers who were blocking the road in a "Critical Mass" demonstration just moments before hitting the gas and running over 8 cyclists.

    The bikers were later hospitalized and then released.

    Neis is charged with attempted murder, according to Zero Hora.

    ordinary cyclists do not deserve this, those nutjobs however did , they were hitting the car, if you were being attacked on your car surrounded by scumbags youd drive off too

    Where is the evidence that they did any damage to his car at all (other than when he tried to kill them), that's right there is none. I hope you're trolling because if you're not your post has to be one of the stupidest I've ever read anywhere.

    The cyclists were deliberately breaking the law, they are only supposed to cycle two abrest and not take up the whole fcuking road.

    A few years ago a New York cop lashed out against a cyclist in a similar motive.

    That cop was subsequently fired.

    Perhaps they were breaking the law (I'm not that fmiliar with Brazilian road traffic legislation), but it's hardly justification for attempted murder. If capital punishment was the norm for transgressions of the rules of the road most Irish motorists would've been killed a long time ago.

    Exactly, yesterday I saw some guy throwing his chewing gum on the street so I hit him in the head with a brick.

    What nut jobs? Who was hitting his car? Have you looked at the video? It clearly shows the mass of people he hit just casually cycling along harming nobody.

    You'd drive over 40 or more cyclists because others are knocking on your windows? :confused:

    I'm afraid I have to spell this out: You can't knock somebody over just because they get in your way!

    clearly he'd stayed up three consecutive nights playing grand theft auto and was hallucinating from lack of sleep
