Well, this is a strange world we live in: I just picked up the police report from the BPD and it contains the name and address of the person who ran me and a bunch of other cyclists down on Friday night. Wouldn’t you know it, I’m “friends” with this person on Facebook. It’s a very distant connection, and I haven’t had any contact with this person in at least 15 years other than accepting their friend request. They “friend-ed” me if that makes any difference. Anyone who is on FB knows that you are “connected” to tons of people to whom you have no real connection.
If you were one of the other cyclists that was hit and need the information, please let me know. I have also retained counsel and will be proceeding with a suit against the perpetrator. My lawyer has agreed to take the case on contingency, and has offered to represent others if they are interested.
As for the ongoing issue of police indifference, stay tuned…
