Jeremy - vancouver: the courier bears full respomnsibility for creating this confrontation and then escalating it by keying the guy's car. Tossing food is one thing but vandalism is something else.... Aaron:

"What about the damage he did to our van? I suppose you people who support him would think its okay for Frank and I to stomp all over his car?...By...... Respect: Let's make a deal:
You litter, I throw it back at you. If you park in the bike lane, I smash out your rear brake lights and key your car as I fly by.
You cut me...... Daryl G.: What ever happened to just throwing litter away? Obviously this cyclist was either mentally retarded or just a plain bitch. Sure, it's not that great to litter, but there's really no need to...... Rarse!: it escalates quite quickly, i believe she did kinda deserve it, i mean first she chucks s**t in his car, fair enough he shouldn't litter but she is asking for it, i would say the...... Logos: Hey All,
I think escalation of Violence is a preety good indicator of whos fault here, it went from throwing food at each other to throwing potentially scalding coffee,

Sean M: Bad all around.

3) Both of them for escalating this beyond reason....... Steve in Vancouver: Almost an identical incident happened here in Vancouver to a close friend of mine. Let me tell you that one turned out as it seems so relevant (sorry, no photos).
My friend, and his girlfriend, were...... Psychobabble: I'm teaching a class on Environmental Psychology right now. And this sequence of events is a perfect illustration of domain generalizability. There is a debate in the enviro psych literature over whether behaving in a...... bruce walzer: Hmmm...

that's fantasy though. you'll never stop everyone from littering.
so what's the point of flipping out and...... 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...... Scunny: Back in the day (25 years ago), when I first started as a bike courier, I too was guilty of returning litter to motorized slobs in much the same manner (although I never actually had...... cyberdude: Hehe. I love it.
According to this thread, his throwing something (coffee) at her is assault, but her throwing something at him (which was done FIRST, btw) is not.
His initial offense of littering...... Mark: Messed five years in DC. Saw plenty of this kind of silliness. All I can say is choose to de-escalate.... John: There seem to be a lot of people arguing about who messed up more. Just to weigh in, it was obviously the driver, but this isn't the point. Both sides clearly made some...... Jeremy: I like how the bikers say "fuck him, fuck his car" and "she's right, he shouldn't stomp her bike".
So her property should be respected, while his is fair game.
Someone else already summed it up -...... hool: peter: thanks for the support. i don't publish anything in internet space with intent toward a select audience. i know very well that once something is put online, it's out of my control,...... hool: to the previous commenter: please do not print these images and "plaster them all over the GTA". no, i cannot stop you, but i can sincerely request that you do not do so. this...... nex: shyzer--

Becky: So the correct response to getting coffee dumped on you is to smash their face with a steel bike lock? Keying his car is OK because it's only a car, but damaging her bike is...... anakanak: Based on the text report posted above, I think the line was crossed when she threw garbage in his car. Littering is a pain in the ass, but it wasn't directed at her, and it...... Catherine Penfold-Waxman: It's funny that if the courier had called the police when the driver threw presumably hot coffee on her, he would be buggered. And if he had called the police when she keyed his car,...... Sam: That's not staged, I'm a friend of hers and she wouldn't do that. Looks like she got into his face, didn't back down. Good for her cause I bet she did it without escalating. She's...... yokes: Based on hool's timeline, taking it at face value, frankly, both sides are to blame, at least partially.
