I sparked one out 14 years ago, which I'm glad to say was the last time I hurt someone on purpose, and there wasn't even a suggestion that I was going to be charged. Same situation, as it happens; gang of youths on the Meadows. </p> Claggy Cog on "maybe go armed down the innocent path?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5134#post-54865 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:54:16 +0000 Claggy Cog 54865@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Self-defence...perhaps feral youth might think twice about attacking and robbing cyclists if they thought they might get shot!! A friend of mine got a right drubbing from a gang of youths going through the Meadows one night on his bike, and ended up in hospital, and I wonder if he might have got off so lightly had he used his bike as a weapon and seriously injured one of his assailants.... probably would have been charged with using unnecessary force is more likely. </p> Dave on "maybe go armed down the innocent path?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5134#post-54765 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:11:10 +0000 Dave 54765@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A careful headline.
