Cyclist assaulted on Chelsea Embankment

I don't think that that case bears much resemblance to vunugu's case, but here's the link:

You really can't make such a sweeping assumption, much as I realise it may be borne out of frustration. (For the record, if you're partly referring to that case, 'those cyclists all rally together' was said once in the witness testimony, by the cab driver involved, and wasn't a particularly important part of the testimony.)

I don't know very much about the law, but I know that it's impossible to bring every case of violence/assault/verbal abuse before the courts. Ideally, of course we want to reduce such behaviour at source rather than controlling it by legislation and enforcement, but the reality offers no easy solutions. There are cases like the one linked to above which should never have come to court and a lot of shocking behaviour goes unpunished.

I've been dwelling on this, and really think it needs running past a solicitor. (started type in depth reasoning, stopped, needs running past someone who knows.)
