Wisconsin Democrat Fred Clark is a state legislator with a lead foot it seems. He ran a red light and mowed down a cyclist, a news story that’s appeared on Sky News and Breitbart, but not many other places. From Sky:
The moment an American politician crashed his car into a cyclist after running a red traffic light has been captured on film.
Newly-released video taken from inside a bus spotted Democrat Fred Clark, 50, smashing into the rider in Madison city, Wisconsin.
The footage shows the cyclist starting to cross a junction on August 18, seconds before the official’s 4×4 slams into him.
The one-minute video ends as Clark gets out of his vehicle, with the crumpled bike behind its rear passenger-side wheel.
A Madison police report said Clark told an officer: “I ran a red light. I was just not paying attention.”
Drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the collision, the report added.
The biker, reported to be 56-year-old Richard Rideout, suffered non-life threatening back injuries.
Clark was given a ticket by police for the red light driving offence.
Around the same time former Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant killed a cyclist after some sort of altercation which led to the cyclist clinging to the side of his vehicle. Bryant literally scraped the person off his vehicle by driving close to trees and other objects.
More of that caring for the little guy the left claims is only their purview. If you’re in a blue state think twice before getting on that bike.
Since I’ve found two examples of liberals doing something, I can assume all liberals do it, right? Just like when you find a Republican doing something objectionable we are all responsible?
OMGs… he only got a ticket????
That is just outrageous. How do you get only a ticket for smashing into a cyclist with a 4×4?
OK, I missed the end of the post, apparently, and am even more outraged now… WTF kind of a person scrapes a person off their car by driving close to other objects? I hopehe at least is serving time in prison for that.
These are just wild stories. When I saw them I thought at first they were jokes. The guy in Canada is going on trial soon so we can hope.
