Critical Mass Moonbats Menace Family
Critical Mass is a mass bike ride held on a monthly basis, the apparent intent of which is to disrupt traffic and promote politically correct, pre-automotive modes of transportation. Traffic laws are pointedly ignored.
The first Critical Mass took place 15 years ago in San Francisco, which is where Susan Ferrando and her family recently suffered the misfortune of encountering this antisocial horde of moonbats on wheels.
She'd come to town from Redwood City with her husband, their two children, and three preteens to celebrate her daughter's 11th birthday. At about 9 PM their minivan was surrounded by hundreds of Critical Mass cyclists. Having boxed in the car, the moonbats pounded on the windows, terrifying the children inside.
But this wasn't enough: one of the maniacs actually threw his bike at the van, shattering the rear window, as Ferrando repeatedly screamed, "There are children in this car!"
Fortunately they had a cell phone and were rescued by the police soon after dialing 911. The moonbats claimed the minivan had bumped the tire of one of the bicycles, but the alleged victim, after admitting he wasn't hurt, refused to give his name or any other information and with a few curses rode away on his bike. Damage to the van was estimated at $5,300.
Sergeant Ed Callejas, lead cop on the scene, had encountered Critical Mass moonbats before, but had yet to see them so brazen in their sociopathic moonbattery:
I've seen the bikes swarm cars, and scratch them as they go by. I've seen guys get out of their cars and start fighting with the bikers, but if you had seen the faces on those little girls in tears. All I could do was apologize for what they had been through.
Callejas admits that the city barely even attempts to restrain the bikers' anarchistic behavior.
We sit there and they just go right through the red lights. What else can we do? Arrest one rider while 500 keep going?
Well, it would be a start, since I suppose opening up with a machine gun isn't a viable option. Instead the moonbats will be allowed to run riot until someone gets killed for looking like a normal person from suburbia or for raping Gaia by driving an automobile.
Hat tip: The Mighty Righty.

Would losing SF in the next big earthquake
really be such a bad thing?

I suspect the guy on the right wishes he could be in 300.
How the hell do you ride a bike naked? At the very elast it's going to put a lot of pressure on certain parts of the anatomy... and what happens if you fall? You don't want to risk junior getting trapped in the chain. Don't ride your bike naked. It's just not worth it.

This was the best part of the whole article:
As for reaction from City Hall, Mayor Gavin Newsom said such acts of violence -- if true -- "only serve to undermine the worthwhile message of Critical Mass, which is to raise the awareness of bike transportation issues."
Amazing. A gang of miscreants attacks a family of tourists in his city and Mayor Moonbat has nothing but good things to say about them.

What is it about these people that lends itself so readily to intimidation and thuggery?

The police officer was in need of a solution?
Here's one.
1) Determine the route of the horde.
2) Arrange two police cars facing opposite ways on a street intersecting the route.
3) Affix 3/4" wire rope to the rear axle of each police car.
4) When the horde approaches, move one car forward to increase the tension on the wire rope, so that the rope is tense and straight, about 6" above the level of the street.
5) Pick up the pieces.

I say the van owners sue the city for major bucks. Maybe then they'll consider trying to control this mob a bit better.

fire the police force,seems like it's a waste of money anyway.

The cyclists boxed in the car and threatened them?
That's why there's a "D" setting on the steering column (or next to the driver's seat).
Problem solved.

Time to reactivate San Francisco's famous Vigilance Commitee.

What exactly is Van Helsing's definition of "looking like a normal person from suburbia" or even just "a normal person from suburbia"?
My experience has always been that suburbia is where the Rethuglican crazies (who are anything but "normal") are.

"What is it about these people that lends itself so readily to intimidation and thuggery?"
Let me count the ways:
Boundless self-importance
Unlimited pseudo - piety
The tendency to become hysterical when challenged, to avoid actually having to use reason at any time
Groundless superiority
enough?

Absolutely right, Anonymous. Follow the nude Sasquatch on the bike in the photo to find truly normal people.

Ah, someone needs to tell "Skeletor on the cycle" to get back on his AIDS meds.

Not that any of you folks seem terribly concerned about the truth, but this stupid biyatch hit a cyclist and then tried to flee the scene.
She's lucky it was only her rear window that was busted open.

"hit a cyclist and then tried to flee the scene"
and your proof?
And even if it was true, you're saying that legitimizes attacking people?
I'll bet you ARE saying that. Most liberals think terrorism is just hunky dory, as long as it's done against Republicans. Right?
