Let me clarify a few things here that some of you seem to be forgetting (which I know firsthand)
1. Alex threw...... Todd: Litter has certainly been a problem in our city. Our mayor has even asked the citizens to clean up and made us more aware of the problem. However even with the clean up...... Both sides: I have read/heard both side of the story. Unfortunately, the "motorist's" side was stated by his fiancé and not by him, as the actual participant.

Second, if she presses charges on...... 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...... expert witness: The bike girl should have pressed charges!
