I cant find if this has been covered elsewhere, a search for Bucchere brings up nothing, cant see it on the General forum or In The News thread. Apologies if repost.

If anyone has the link to his blog post about "not seeing a line" etc after he'd mown through the pedestrians, I'd be grateful, interested to read it. From the sound of what is quoted in the Guardian he was riding brakeless.
Surprised he didnt get a jail term. If a motorist slammed into a pedestrian or cyclist causing death then I'd probably be happy to see them lose their liberty for a while, so the same applies here. The victim's wife must be Buddhist or something.
