=v= You make the same speech every time a motorist kills a
pedestrian in San Francisco (which happens at an average of
21 days), right? If not, why not?
> Sorry, riding a bike doesn't make her or him "above the
> law" and that person should take full responsibility.
=v= Nobody made the argument that you so pompously argue
against. Also, it's clear that you have no idea what
actually happens in the great majority of cases where cars
kill pedestrians. Let's just say that your "fullest extent
of the law" wish falls far short of reality.
