mtb4ever: I've read through many of these postings and am astounded at some of your comments. On the subject of what started the whole thing - littering. Mad Max actually said, "So he littred big......

Viceroy Snuffleupagus: This forum discussion is an excellent example of discursive disintegration by virtue of anonymous expression. I'll explain, as this message board was an opportunity squandered. Sure, an argument can be made on behalf of......

Mach: Just btw here, didnt any Ontarians catch wind of a great film called CRASH? And I dont mean Cronenbergs sleazoid celluiod number. CRASH will make you think LONG AND HARD about incidents such as this. Mark......

JimboToronto: I live on Augusta Ave about a block north of where this occurred but missed it due to being out of town. I am neither a bike courier nor a motorist, but my sympathies lie......

humans suck: clearly both were in the wrong here, i detest littering as much as anyone here, but you can't go around throwing it back in people's cars, leah, your first clue that this guy was a dick was......

zazaster: I would/have done the same thing. I have grabbed cigarettes dumped on the road at a stoplight and run over and dump them back into the car. Also, I have another method I......

Chapter Cycles: Having read through all previous comments (there will no doubt be a few more) as well as all versions of the event, I am decidedly sympathetic towards the driver. I am both an avid road......

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......

I can't believe what I read!: while some people are really articulate individuals with a sense of humor and enough intelligence to make me wonder... WTF are they doing defending a guy that contravened a municipal by-law, assaulted a PERSON, and......

Unbelievable: Both parties in this are definitely ego-monsters. I agree with the above poster(Sault Ste. Marie) and many others. The courier should have taken down the plate number and reported the motorist, and picked up the......

Emmett: He shouldn't have thrown his trash in the road in the first place. I praise Leah for sticking up for what she believed in. Not only should the driver be charged for littering......

Sault Ste. Marie Guy: I came to this webb site to satisfy my curiosity. The story was broadcasted on CBC radio 1. I believe both parties are douche bags. First for the courier to throwing the burger at the......

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. Both sides are plausible but I am still......

NO ONE DESERVES TO GET BEATEN: It's disappointing to read and see what transpired between Leah and the motorist, involving, and endangering the lives of themselves and those around them. It is even more disappointing to read the comments here endorsing......

To 'She Had in coming', 'The Motorists' and Everyone else.: It's too late to defend this very very dumb individual. Why is it everyone who claims to know him personally writes the exact same way? So "Brother in Law" are the kind of......

Arrgghhhhh - T.O.: So littering gets Leah and a few others here really upset...wow!!...Fine he littered, he deserved the end results....I have no sympathy for him or her......she's just lucky he was a scrawny turd.....Can't stand littering much......

Neighbor: I would be interested to know where the two individuals reside. Having lived in the market for many years - virtually every scrap of road in that neighborhood is somebody’s front yard. If she lives......

JRM: I myself have wanted to kill a few bike couriers in my day as the majority of them feel they own the road because they schlep it out on them everyday which gives them the......

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......

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......

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......
