Thanks Paull66 for proving my point on why these people are so dangerous, you apparently are one also.

Nick,

I have seen these bicyclists riding; they are a great annoyance and try to strike fear into people in cars, not just the trivial protest that you write about. While you touch on some of the more antagonistic ones they are really more of the norm and not the obscure. They wear hoods and masks, not just the “clown noses”. I would assume they were wearing their disguise to hide their faces to appear even more intimidating or to be free from identification in their criminal endeavors.

While I have seen them on two occasions I have not been a target of theirs. But my friend was not so lucky. When they pulled one of their stunts of blocking an intersection she was afraid since she had her 3 year old son in the back seat. When she tried to leave by making a right hand turn the group attacked her by pounding on her car. She was frantic, thinking she was about to be carjacked or whatever was the group’s will. They yelled at her an accused her of trying to run them over, much like the tactic that you wrote about that they accused that officer of doing. I would guess that is their plan, to be antagonistic and then when confronted or find someone unwilling to watch their demonstration they attack or fight back claiming that they were the ones in fear. Anyhow my friend was able to keep her doors locked but she said one of the bicyclists (again wearing a hood) tried to open her passenger door. She keep honking her horn and finally was able to get out of there. She was a mess crying and her son was too. Later she discovered a large dent on her fender, which cost her almost $600 to repair. She filed a police report but they told her that without being able to identify someone then it would be hard to catch anyone for the crime, so she out the $600 and in the name of what?

You seem to attack the officer’s report because you find the word “terrorist” to be too strong for us here in Santa Barbara.

Webster dictionary defines Terrorist as the “systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion”

Wikipedia defines terrorist as “a term used to describe violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians by groups or persons for political or ideological goals”

I would think that that term terrorist fits what these people do to a tee and I thank that officer and his partner for protecting us. This Critical Mass group is nothing but an extreme group of bullies!!! Your article attacking that officer is way off base.
