A group of about 30 people were out for a late-night bicycle ride in Montclair when a driver, allegedly under the influence, collided with several of them. Two died and police arrested the driver on several charges.

At least they caught the guy. Let's just hope he faces fair consequences in the US.

Lol. He was a good christian who just went drinking with his clan boys. He needed to go home, what was he supposed to do? NOT DRINK? WALK?? This is america and these cyclists had it coming.

And besides, even if he wasn't drunk, what were those cyclists doing under his car? Completely irresponsible behaviour from bicycle terrorists

If you want to serve a handful of months for murder, do it with a car in the USA.

Police said the bicyclists had organized their own ride, which was not sponsored by the city.

Gonna use that to blame the cyclists.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Incidents like this are why groups of cyclists take up the entire road. (Which is their right.) If they don't, the danger is increased exponentially because drivers, for whatever reason, become crazy people behind the wheel and will endanger people's lives on purpose. There have even been videos shared on this channel of drivers going offroad to peel around cyclists in a very dangerous and reckless fashion.

Sucks that this selfish prick couldn't call an Uber like a grown-ass adult. I hope that the law will throw the book at him and he does years in prison, but I doubt it. Car-related deaths get a slap on the wrist in this country.

Wait, they weren't taking the lane? Are you sure?

I assume by default that they took the lane, especially if it was more than 1 person.

Not that it would guarantee protection from a drunk driver, but it's very important to mitigate risk by increasing visibility. And communicating to the other drivers that they need to pass you properly like any other vehicle

Wait, they weren’t taking the lane? Are you sure?

That's what I mean. I just didn't word it well. :)

hope he faces fair consequences in the US.

You're going to need to find another Luigi for that

Yeah, didn't you know "right to assemble" is for people who hate freedom? All gatherings must have the approval of the local authorities or else they lose the protection of the state. If someone shows up to your holiday feast and guns your whole family down, if you didn't get your event sponsored by the city, then you're shit-outta-luck. Better luck next time, terrorist.

/S, because poe's law
