The actions of Joseph Hedley were horrific and shocking and could easily have had more devastating consequences. “But he has now been brought fully to account for his crimes.

I don't know if the victim agrees that his (unprovoked) attempted murderer having been harshly sentenced to.. stay indoors between 7pm and 7am counts as "brought fully to account".

Vigilante justice it is

I watched that video a week or two ago. That was attempted and partially successful murder if you ask me.

Driver who left cyclist with brain injury hit cyclist following road rage incident avoids jail gets away with attempted murder

The way they soften the headlines is really disappointing.

Hmm. Look obviously this guy should be in prison, I don't think anyone disagrees with that unless you're a chud.

But also, wear your fucking helmets. Obviously not the intended purpose of a bike helmet but it may have been the deciding factor in his shattered skull.

Honestly It’s heart wrenching to see news headlines like this. And since I’ve had this account for a year it breaks my heart even more. Bc each quarter it seems to be getting worse.

Things like this, when the legal system does not provide justice or restoration, make vigilantism appealing.

Next: the driver successfully sues the cyclist for causing him trauma.

Technically this doesn’t involve cars at all? The attack was done on foot. The article doesn’t mention the motivation at all. “Unprovoked” is pretty broad. Wish there was more info.
