I am surprised that I was caught by surprise by the pitch-black humor coming out of the cycling community after ICE murdered Renee Good. It's on-point criticism from a community that knows what it is like to feel threatened by an SUV on the daily, but holy shit are some of y'all fuckers dark.

@poorpossum IMO its extremely misguided for cyclists to direct their anger at drivers rather than at the system that incentivizes us all to drive around in metal killing machines despite being incapable of doing it safely. The number of people who could decide to make cyclists safer by banning cars or whatever is far smaller than the number of drivers, and that's where cyclists should be directing their anger. Otherwise they're just setting themselves up for short, angry lives.

@freakazoid Unless you ride out in the streets every day and know what it is like to have your life threatened, either through inattention or directed anger, day in and day out, I do not care about your opinion on this matter. At the end of the day, the driver is still accountable, and most of them are more angry with us than we are with them... and they have the killing machine to back it up.
