So he breaks 2 laws and you defend him. http://www.bfw.org/advocacy/index.php?category_id=4033&subcategory_id=5556 Would you defend the first guy for freedom of speech? As Will Rogers liked to say, "Your right to swing your fist ends at my nose," or something close to that.

He owns a bike shop and therefore probably is a big proponent of bike safety. Also, it s common courtesy to have a light on the bike. Let s all applaud the dbag who overreacted and beat the guy up.
