Let me see. Likely scenario... Windscreen gets broken and driver continues to proceed in a straight line while cautiously applying her brakes and hits a cyclist who wrongly gets in her way. Obviously the driver cannot be at fault because children broke her windscreen thus absolving her from all blame The fact that she is in sole charge of a dangerous machine, aka 'weapon', in a public place is of no consequence. Probably because millions of others are in a similar position and this is a democracy, where majority mob rule must, by definition, prevail regardless of any ethical considerations. -- UK Radical Campaigns. http://www.zing.icom43.net One man's democracy is another man's Aristotlean mob.

Well we know from what you have said before, that if she had lost control of her vehicle it would not be her fault as she had been attacked. Therefore you have just accepted that as she was attacked she would not be to blame. -- Tony Dragon

Does that apply to critical mass? -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport.
