Angel from Montgomery: Leah,
If you're still looking for the girl in the black vest, I know her. Drop me a line at angel_from_montgomery (at) hotmail.com. Road Raged Motorist Loses: It's great how any comments defending the jackass guy come from obvious hillbilly types and socially backward neanderthals or right thinking people satiring the ignorant apes among us. Most people KNOW the guy is wrong regardless of circumstance HAHA loser jock woman beating looser wannabes! HAHA you're the minority now... bingo: Man some of you ppl are real mature.
Posting pics of this girl you don't know and calling her a lesbian.
Classy work dickhead. DnB: american GI chats out his ass. America fourt UK twice.....bollocks. and yea UK music is the best. We have the best dj's and producers in the world.

I dont see a problem with being put in the same catagory as Martin Luther King, Rosa parks,Ghandi, and any other "pretentious
activists" that are fighting an ongoing battle to better the earth while so many lazy, self centered clowns are leeching all they can from... Leyna: I think what Leah did is admirable. I doubt it did any good for the guy that littered but maybe other
people that saw what happened will be more aware of their actions. Not to sound like a flake but this is our
environment, it's important that we take care... Leyna: I think what Leah did is admirable. I doubt it did any good for the guy that littered but maybe other

And the fact that it was a woman only makes me happier. You nailed two birds with one stone. dismayed: to everyone who says that Leah should have "politly asked him to dispose of his litter properly"...
I am pretty sure a block head like this guy would NOT have responded any differently to a verbal reprimand from Leah and infact i a very sure that his severe over reaction to... JD: Can i have the burger? anon (CPE00904bf81fe3-CM00140454da00.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com): she's a fucking bitch... who is she to throw carbage back in the car? if he litters, tell the police to write him a ticket but don't fucking throw it back... FUCKING WHORE... i hope she pays for the scratch... too bad she didn't get what she deserved - a... wondering,,,: is it possible that all the negative thread towards leah might be comming from the mashers butt-head friends??! Hmmm....
Ean_Frick: Do any of you realize how much bullshit a biker constantly has to deal with?
There are way too many irresponsible assholes at the helm of a few thousand pounds of metal.
That jerk insulted everyone on that street by littering. Rock on Leah. xoxoxo Bruce: http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?p=206723#post206723 theo: hey there leah,
If you haven't already gotten in touch with her, "the girl in the black vest" works at Ideal coffee on Nassau. I don't know her name. johnsweden@hotmail.com: to the girl in the white vest... when you want to be with a real man, look me up.. Dave: I realize that this is getting a bit off-topic, but here are my thoughts about female/male violence.
Physical AND emotional abuse should be avoided whenever possible
Keep in mind that your emotional abuse can lead to physical retaliation
Men are generally stronger than women and therefore better equipped to cause physical harm
Women shouldn't... s111fitz: !! # 8025
was dangerous to take
for a hangoverman !!
have some Lea & Perrins
with your heavily Lemoned
Tomato Juice. dj_flx: About the above Lake comment...
Does this mean if I go out and start trouble with motorists and get it recorded somehow, I can get free stuff too?
(assuming the author is legit) mike: leah,
my buddy designed the lake shoes(ALL of the lake shoes) you have on your feet in these photos. i talked to him and the owner of lake and they are both intersted in giving you some shoes and possibly other goodies. please contact me at: mhill@jcwhitney.com when you... Dumb Bicycler's should be shot: he should have shoved that bike up her ass, who does she think she is?
Judge Dredd? bruce walzer: Hmmm...
1. Guy drives around irritating people by dumping garbage on the street.
2. Someone reacts to this with a display of anger.
3. Guy outright attacks the objector.
4. Sometime during the altercation guy threatens someone with a weapon.
A person throwing litter back at a litterer is not a public danger. Someone
picking fights... Rowan James: It is quite clear that if Leah had been a big biker guy with a gun this motorist would not have flipped out. He only did that because she is smaller than him and he knew he could bully her. He knew the Toronto police do not take violence against... dillo: To all the posters that think they are good with photoshop
Your maturity shows....... Dumb Bicycler's should be shot: See, Cartman's mom was right, FUCK CANADA, let's nuke it to prevent thos agressive genes from spreading over the world.
p.s. i don't litter, but if she would do that to me, the coffee would be the least of her problems, i would shove that bike up her ass. Tim: I think we can all spot the nutbars in this thread who would also respond in a similar fashion to the idiot driver. I weep for humanity. dj_flx: herb - Yeah, the hell with free speech, the government should dictate what people can say.
Oh, wait, is this thing /in/ Canada? Heh. herb: Some of the posts above could probably fall under Canada's hate crime laws. I don't see how the images with slogans add anything to this discussion. If I were moderating I'd delete them. anon (203.13.128.101): cops "encouraged her to drop charges"
sounds like the cops were the only using their brains.
Leah initiated the aggression.
I would approve of a law that said : "penalty for throwing rubbish out of a vehicle - 12 months loss of licence" or similar.
But what she did was stupid. Wonder if she... Anon: The Dave:
Hey fatty!
Bet you haven't seen your genitals in years!
Hope you die of heart disease lardass!
Great pictures by the way. macko: She keyed the guys' car AFTER he tossed coffee on her. You toss a cup of coffee on me from your vehicle and I'm f'n your ride up. End of story. pureevilmatt: don't they pay people to pick up litter? if everyone stopped littering, all those people would be out of jobs.
that's fantasy though. you'll never stop everyone from littering.
so what's the point of flipping out and throwing shit at the rare person who does litter?
your life must be pretty boring if... hoopoe7: I won't have it said! New Cross is one of the most marvelous places to live in London! Cute victorian station one stop from Ldn Bridge, Beautiful victorian and georgian conservation areasfor housing and still cheap. Also vibrant, and artsy. OK, the main drag is a...

www.genuinelondonpearlykingsandqueens.com anon (cosh-cache-1.server.ntli.net): Couldn't she have just had a go at the guy? It's not like he dumped trash *on* her.
I'm not saying he was right to litter, pour coffee on her or try and assault her...
...but it's also obvious that she made the first move against him without so much... myself: that's the reason why i always carry a gun when biking. i glad that i live in a country where i'm allowed to defend myself when attacked. Rebel: This guy should be locked up. anon (CPE-58-164-86-70.nsw.bigpond.net.au.86.164.58.in-addr.arpa): Leah rocks, all the SUV heads trying to attack her are losers so they don't count for much.
The people trying to sit on the fence and say Leah did the wrong thing are are what concern me.

Get off your butts and take some action, forget about winning hearts and... paul: the guy has no right to hit or act violently towards a woman. I would love to see this guy actaully have to fight a man. Women beware, there are crazy guys every where! elaine: the 'fake' comments are so weird,
it's like some baudrillardian fantasy where people are so punch drunk with fakery they can't see the join.
for them the real is fake and the fake is real.
(and there can not possibly exist a world in which you might have a talent,... Sniper8052: He commited ABH possibly GBH if the coffee was hot enough to scald
She commited criminal damage,
If he were to be found it would be very difficult to prosecute one without the other so it's probably better left as it is.
This is a 'square up' not a prosecution unless you were... Musharaf: yakhhh, that looks scary HOPWhiteyFord: I would just like to say, both are at fault, no excuse...
both parties were in the wrong...
if you have a problem with someone littering, you don't throw the litter back at them,
you tell them to pick it up, if they refuse hold it up to them...

favs: 1,2,3 THe Dave: Yeah, (anon you little twit) this big fatty, rode his little Cannondale from San Francisco to LA.
And, frequently get my 100 mile days in.
So, chew on that. Ian Brown: The "humourous" images and comments about Leah's alleged lesbianism must have been made by people who couldn't read the post(s) mentioning her daughter.
Hatred of cyclists seems to be correlated with hatred of gay people in this forum. BigHungryAntelope: I am torn on this:
On one hand, there is no excuse for her picking fights with people. People need to chill out and live and let live and stop acting like Pat Roberson! A little tolerance goes a long way.
On the other hand, if anyone is familiar with Kensington,... adam: how much longer before no more comments are allowed? pot_love: corni,baduy,jologs,nonsense Anon: The Dave:
So you're a big fatty.
Have another cheeseburger lardass
Have a nice day! THe Dave: I've got to say, that I side with the girl in the beginning of the story.
I've been known to pick up other people's trash, and hand it to them, saying "Hey buddy, you must have dropped this."
Of course, I'm 6'1" 300lbs, they tend not to hop out of cars to... stonedrobot.com: i dont care if it is mine, if some dumb dyke on a bike throws trash in my car you can expect the same reaction. comments: comments are somehow ridicule Kindofkensington: Jaysus, I can barely believe some of the stuff I've read here. Got the link from BoingBoing, used to live just up the road on Augusta, saw some idiotic carry on in my time at the corner of Augusta and Oxford, but this is the worst ever. Honestly, this driver... Youngster: LitterBlitter, take your accidental droppage and shove it up your manhole. And lose some weight while you're at it you fattie. William: Hi, Leah! I'm in for up to US$500 on any legal fees or fines that help this guy get put away. Just ask the Boing Boing people to post a follow-up and I (and a zillion others) will see it. Or ask the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition to post it... Ryan: Leah, will you marry me? feet!: Dude's got issues and girl should have biked the hell away!
Scary man comes towards me - I run. I don't know about anyone else here. LitterBlitter: Don't litter in Toronto. This is kind of a cultural norm thing (although you couldn't really tell by looking at Kensington). I'm not particularly environmentally aware -- I grew up middle class in Toronto, and I remember being shocked at the realization that people threw their garbage on the street.... Rand: The guy should be charged to the fullest, anyone with a bat going around should be if they decide to go nuts... Leah wasn't right either, I hate "garbage" people too. I live in a small town and pick up after kids along the local trails... It's not going to... Mike D.: Police frequently encourage people not to press charges for two reasons. One, it may clog up the system where it may very well be handled externally on their own. Second, if she presses charges on him for assault and battery, then he, using her own necesary testimony, can return charges... Jbear: thousands of posts and none of you even have a clue as to what actually happened except a few pictures which can be taken a lot of different ways. Random speculation, even by the one guy that was there, is not to have complete conclusions drawn upon it. Also,... Youngster: Why are people assuming that the coffee was hot? (references to 3rd degree burns and such). Maybe the coffee was cold, and maybe the guy was trying to give the girl a shower? She is a bicycle courier, which as all studies show have a 96% chance... winnebago: intresting how everyone who posted picture is making fun of Leah.
The angry man with yellow teeth and a nasty sneer needs some clam chowder image goodness too. Peter: Dude's a putz. Where I come from, you treat women with respect. He deserves a very thorough beat down.
The police need a good talking to as well. Giving him back his litter is not assault or anything like that. And a good cop would... Chris: I must be the only one who thinks the photographer is a jerk for taking photos as he watched a girl get attacked.
Not even reporters are above true life. Screw capturing it and HELP THE POOR GIRL.
Or is it that important to have so many internet denizens in solidarity? Zak: Good work Leah. I always want to give people back their litter, but for some reason, I never do.
Good work, girl in the black vest. Most people wouldn't get involved because it's 'not their problem'. Roost: You both got what you deserved....
To Leah, who says she would "do it again", I say, I hope you get beat up again.... and maybe next time Karma will get your rims bent enough that you can't ride anymore...
This is precisely what you get when two morons meet on the... Sickened by women stay with guys like that: What I'm wondering is what the girlfriend is still doing with that guy. In the picture, it looks like she's trying to stop Leah from hitting him, instead of the other way around. If a "man" (which he's certainly not) would hit a woman in the street, there's... KRIST: WELL IM NOT CONDONING WHAT THE GUY DID, BUT WHEN I FIRST SAW THE PICS, THE WOMAN ON THE BIKE LOOKS LIKE A MAN SO HE PROBABLY DIDNT KNOW SHE WAS A CHICK. Seth Shaw: I would have fucking cocked that man in the throat. Then I would have explained to him the proper way to treat women while he tried to find his adam's apple.
Pigfucker. Not Diah: yo what the fuck, you idiots need to realize that by him throwing the food out the window he's
1. Feeding a homeless guy
2. Giving someone a job
3. Puts prison workers to good use
so what if he littered, that fucking cunt has no right to throw trash into his car. Stupid... caaaaaaa: if this troll on her bike wouldve pulled the "throwing food in a car" stunt in Oakland california she wouldve been murdered. Leah, consider yourself lucky that you got off with a bent rim, soaked backpack and online humiliation from the incredibly hilarious pictures of yourself. becky: maybe the guy didn't know it was ag irl on the bike.
oh yeah, is that shocked looking blond woman his ladyfriend? shit, if i saw anyone i was dating freak out like that... i'd tell them to fuck off. catbert: It's nice to hear someone actually stands up for the community.
Good job Leah! Reality: Throwing discarded waste back into a car is in no way assault. Any half ass lawyer can paint that picture to look like the return of lost material. The dumping of coffee is assault. The car keying was stupid- if real. The only real proof... Kristin: The lack of inteligence of some of the posters on here is amazing. To whoever is posting the pictures: your lack of photoshop skills is trumped only by your complete lack of any cerebral matter. Leah, thank you for standing up to the ever-increasing number of over-testosteroned penis-replacement-SUV-driving... Kristin: The lack of inteligence of some of the posters on here is amazing. To whoever is posting the pictures: your lack of photoshop skills is trumped only by your complete lack of any cerebral matter. Leah, thank you for standing up to the ever-increasing number of over-testosteroned penis-replacement-SUV-driving... NEW YORK GRITTY: Leah, you're obviously smart enough to ignore these haters. I (and many others who had a dicussion about this in NYC) think you rock. You've got to pick your battles though (damn, I sound like my father). This psycho driver could have been even crazier.
Regardless: keep riding, stay safe,... So-Called "Austin Mayor": So-Called "Austin Mayor": marquee scroll is here:
http://modernjackass.blogspot.com/2006/01/blog-post_28.html Tolling: Nice performance art. Gato: Just saw the story on BoingBoing. Leah, you should definitely press charges. Throwing back the food in the car was definitely not a good idea, but physically assaulting a smaller woman is for cowards and psychos. It's a pathological and socially dangerous behavior. Just look at his face on the... colin: the only thing i hope comes from this is that just as people recognized leah, i hope people recognize the offender. someone oughta find out where he works and show these photos to his boss. yyy: ok so this woman, who by the way is riding a bicycle through public streets wearing sunglasses and listening to an ipod (illegal), picks up food that the driver threw out and throws it back at him and his vehicle, which is assault, then apparently keys his car after the... another bike commuter: Yay Leah for standing up against the disposable-world automotive culture! I understand not pressing anything further, not wanting to be part of that bad scene any longer. s: IS IT TRUE THE TORONTO POLICE ENCOURAGED HER NOT TO FILE CHARGES?? Paolo: P.S. Leah,
You stood up against this thug for littering but back down when he assaults you. I'm afraid at this point it is abundantly clear that your responsibility is to press charges. If you're looking for a feeler for the moral climate that's out there, the Internet is a perfect... oscar: hbirdman, you are correct. As I was writing my comments I was not thinking about the guy, just trying to imagine from Leah's point of view what I would have thought about the whole thing. Norman Cay: ....so fucked up. I once saw a poor bike courier getting similar treatment here in Santa Monica CA....I got out of my car and walked up to the motorist assaulting the bike courier and smashed his face into his windshield....he RAN OVER THE COURIERS BIKE partially....this is just like shocking....Canada... Paolo: Just to remind the roadraging driver that now the world knows your face. Keep your anger in check or someone is bound to return the favour. Norman Cay: ....so fucked up. I once saw a poor bike courier getting similar treatment here in Santa Monica CA....I got out of my car and walked up to the motorist assaulting the bike courier and smashed his face into his windshield....he RAN OVER THE COURIERS BIKE partially....this is just like shocking....Canada... hbirdman: oscar, I think, what is important is not that Leah learn from this, I shure she allready has, but that the dickhead learn respect for the rule of law. You don't commit felony assault and battery in response to mischief. Press charges!
Juggle: I don't consider throwing out small portions of food to be littering. The food will be consumed by bugs, birds and animals in a matter of hours. I'm sure they will appreciate it.
Therefore, I think this girl went way beyond the line. Why not just... Marvin Holivard: So has she been fired yet? nothalo: What does your commmentary below your photo mean? You are either boorish or write with a poor command of sarcasm. Myke: Thank you! hbirdman: No I take that back it should read he, Doh dude: "Bike courier's like motorcycle riders are the most self-righteous sociapaths out there" Speak-up for Men: 28th Jan 2006 - 20:07 GMT
no. ceo's take that category. oscar: To Leah, never pick a fight you can't win. According to nature, thats a reason to boot you form the gene pool. Where you scared when he attacked you? We only need to fear what we don't respect.
As for the guy I think he way over reacted, instead of hitting... calhoon: Ha Ha!!!! Peanut Butter Jelly Time! hbirdman: Sorry the first he should read she in my post drewish: This reminds me of an article we wrote for a zine. See "Confronting a motorist" in BUI #2 page 25) hbirdman: If you read Leah's account at 27th Jan 2006 - 22:45 GMT there were 5 assaults across 2 incidences. the first two were trivial food assaults of trash food and coffee then according to Leah's account he:
"grabbed me by my helmet and tried to toss me around a bit.It... Jodes: Calling a girl a 'lesbian' for standing up to physical violence? Lordy, who threatened your masculinity? That's so pathetic. How cave-man of you. Its a good thing she's got no obvious physical differences or you'd be picking on that as well, I suppose. Dickwads.
If I... Argentius: In another world of fantasy, sudden karmic retribution paralyzes the guy for life so he has to learn what it's like to need some kindness from others to get on with daily life...
Littering IS really frustrating, but -- not necessarily in this particular incident -- some people take the policing... Pondering: I do not understand folks trying to stir things up after Leah said she's letting
it drop. She admitted that she was not blameless and could be charged with
assault. Why persuade her to become a martyr to 'go after' that guy further?
Would that help the cause of courriers and... nathan: Wow, a dude going after a girl. I wish I had been there. I would have pulled him inside out by reaching down his throat and grabbing his ass. Disgusted Californian: So a man not under immediate danger from a woman should just smack her around? Very pro-domestic violence, very classy. You "she got just what she deserved" lot are assholes, may you never get laid. Greg: I was once a "brave" cyclist, until I got my head nearly bashed in. Now I realize how vulnerable cyclists are. For your own well-being, I suggest you (and Leah if she has a next time) just take a licence number and report whatever infraction you witness. ... Cucky: Leah, youre dumbass deserved what you got and more. If you want to fight crime, join her majesty's RCMP. Otherwise stick to your mindless, skank-ho courier job. You are dumbass, but I'd still let you smoke my pole. Cucky: Leah, your dumbass deserved what you got and more. If you want to fight crime, join her majesty's RCMP. Otherwise stick to your mindless, skank-ho courier job. You area dumbass, but I'd still let you smoke my pole. Leah's My Hero: Myself, I've come very close to tossing lit cigarettes back into people's cars with an explanation like, "Oh... I guess you dropped this."
I'll just make my getaway while they are trying to put out the fire. ;) Horrible critic: I suggest you add one more word to your vocabulary- 'verbose'. Do look it up, and think on whether it might apply to you. Good writing is not about showcasing one's vocabulary, particularly at the cost of meaning, in the instances where you haven't quite understood the word you're using.... debra: what a dumb broad, she deserved everything she got for throwing the litter back in his car. expert witness: The bike girl should have pressed charges!
Don't be intimidated, if the police say "you will be charged to. Fine let the prosecuting attorneys prove their case! "Got evidence?"
Stand your ground against uncivil slobs, be they in SUV's, Suits, junkie jammies, or in spandex jogging shorts. What is wanted? A... expert witness: The bike girl should have pressed charges!
