They did? What message? Look, I think it's great that local bicycling causes there are ultimately benefitting from all this, but there's a deeper, darker issue. This guy wasn't just belittling those who have an equal right to the road just because their vehicles are smaller. He was INCITING VIOLENT CRIME. From the Program Director's letter to Kathryn Kingsbury: > Recently, some of our callers and on-air personalities > discussed cyclists and road rules. As I read it, it wasn't about "rules", it was about breaking the _law_ in ways that put cyclists in danger for their lives. > It was not and is not our intent to provoke violence > towards cyclists. Even the most ardent free-speech advocate will tell you that there's nothing about "intent" in the First Amendment, or in the history of its interpretation. If it's not your "intent" to cause a riot by shouting "FIRE" in a crowded theater, does the constitution (and should the law) apply differently? > We choose not to rebut any misrepresentations. Instead, > we simply extend our apologies if you were offended. Offended? Who cares if anyone was offended? This isn't about people's "feelings"; people were ***ENDANGERED*** by this. Have they bothered to "extend their apologies" to anyone who either fell victim to any actions that precipitated from this, or to anyone who took it so seriously that they were afraid to get on the road that day? Have they spent a nickel or a minute looking into how much of either consequence happened? All the PSA's in the world won't have an impact on whether a dangerous nut like this DJ tries such a stunt again. Only consequence against him for his endangerment to the community can do that. --------------- Paul T.
