I don't want to start a helmet debate or anything. and I'm sure this guy would've found another way to harm this poor man if he'd been wearing one. but it definitely would've helped him in this case. poor guy. hope he's not harmed too badly.
He didn't need a helmet, he needed a .357.

Much respect to the woman with the camera, very brave in doing the right thing and approaching an armed psycho.

That is disturbing to watch.

One wonders if he would have beaten him to death if no one intervened.

Humans are a seriously messed up batch of animals. such big brains, so little ability to use and understand them.

Club

Not judging because I don't don't what started this- But this is exactly why it is important not to flip the bird or escalate car-bike situations.

Not that we need more proof of this, but really? Laugh while someone drowns... and don't offer any help at all...

I think you're assuming too much, odds are the parents are largely dis-interested in their children's activities.
