I wonder how thoroughly police investigated this crime. Could all the supposed victims of the attempted robberies have declined to come forward or to testify? Might they never have heard about the arrest or circumstances?

Many other shootings result not in death, but permanent injury. I rarely ever hear about those stories. Do police and prosecutors treat carjackings more seriously than violence against cyclist?

Maybe i'm overly skeptical here, but through my years of cycling and skating, enough dangerous objects such as beer bottles flying 40mph have hit me, i wonder if harassment like this doesn't deter others from cycling and skating in the city. The acts go beyond mere objects. The vicious, angry words shouted are evidence of road rage. Yet, i read and hear very little in way of prosecution, and that leads me to wonder.

I will tag follow-up stories “Fred Mason”.
