Nope. We all know what he did. You are in denial of it. And what Bryant did is in no way, shape or form, similar to writing cheques to yourself and cashing them as what Mr. Sheppard was accused of SEVEN years ago.
Erm...I hate to say it, but the two things are not entirely unlike as far as the legal system is concerned - they are both illegal...
That of course does not change the fact that Sheppard's criminal (mind you, not violently criminal) behaviour (irrespective of how long ago) has nothing to do with Bryant's criminal behaviour.
Yes. Especially as someone who used to set policy and law in this province as former AG. His policies and laws that were passed are what we must all abide by today. His feet should be held closer to the flame as one who did set policy and pass those laws.
You are confused - in a democracy all citizens must be equal before the law...The issue is that "the law" is clearly going easy on Bryant.
He was supposed to be the example.
He was paid to make laws, not be anyone's rolemodel (that would have been a nice bonus though)
What he did that night was deadly wrong! Plain and simple.
Agreed. He should be changed with murder - as any average joe would have been had he been in bryant's place.
CEASED to be a bicyclist as soon as he left his bike, what is there not to understand about that? He was also an alcoholic, should all alcoholics take up his cause? He became a pedestrian when he left his car. If someone attacked me in my car, I have every right to defend myself if I feel threatened.
This guy had 61 outstanding arrest warrants. The moment he left his bike and began assaulting someone else, he became a PETTY THUG. Did he deserve to die? No. But when you attack someone, you should be aware of the consequences.
Drinking and driving is illegal, why should drinking and cycling be any different? If this guy was sober, he'd prolly still be alive. Unfortunately, he lacked common sense and was/is a criminal. ****
Its not hate for cyclists. Darcy ceased being a cyclist when he left his bike and started assaulting another human. Its hate for criminals like Darcy. He should have had a chance to be tried in court, unfortunately he pushed someone over the limit. Guess he won't have another chance to commit fraud, what a pity.
Why 5pm?

I'm disappointed that the time makes it virtually impossible for anyone with a 9-5 job to make it unless they're working in the area. I'm up by Sunnybrook today so there's no way I can make it in time.
It was meant for friends / bike messengers to show respect and support for Darcy Allan Sheppard's passing and hope for real justice to be done. It wasn't really a general critical mass event but other cyclists were welcome because they share the roads and similar fates as us couriers.
