I have been thinking about the decision to stop, shout or do whatever. Lots imo get this decision wrong taking risks with others and then when/if something does happen they justify what they did with past similar decisions "going ok". It's a similar justification made for blasting past pedestrians while riding a bike or making close passes while driving a car or tailgating of any sort.
I really would invite @CharlieFuckingA to take some time to look at his riding again, right or wrong you can't go back and change it but it would help towards it not be repeated again.
I didn't read the newspaper comments but I'd guess if reading here followed a good slog reading the usual newspaper comments aimed directly at you then you wouldn't exactly be calm and collected. I also noticed waiting hours on end with the police and somewhere was an attempt to contact the hospital. The earlier comments I'd excuse a bit for that(tho not totally). The later comments about your bike and stuff are just nasty and sadly remove any want to excuse the earlier comments. I'd hope like most would be you are a bit beside yourself confused and emotional but you could also be a total tool.
