Yeah, you know how when we pedestrians swear about cyclists and get told off...? JUSTIFIED.
Btw, the guy would have got less but was a smarmy cunt who showed no remorse so the judge showed none either.

I don't know the ins and outs of each of these cases, I don't think the cyclists were arrested in the recent ones so I presume the pedestrians were jay walking and had to accept responsibility.
The judge could have jailed Alliston for 2 years for "wanton or furious driving" so she showed some leniency.

The bike of the guy who got jailed was illegal and not to be used on public roads as it had no front brake. I believe that was the crux of him being jailed.

I just learnt that F5 refreshes a page - 03/03/10 - bear (alive for over 30 years)
I just learnt there is an ignore button - 11/01/11 - bear (still learning)
I just learnt that I can have 1 more than 3 lines in my sig and there is no word limit - 20/06/12 - bear (on a roll)

Judge Wendy Joseph QC ordered a pre-sentence report, but made it clear she was considering a jail sentence for Alliston.
She said: "I have not seen one iota of remorse from Mr Alliston at all at any stage."
Yup, he got off lightly. But apparently they are going to use his case as precedence of some sort.

This x10000. What a horrible arsehole, did not show one sign of humility, compassion or "yeah, I killed a woman, shit" Wish he got more time TBH, purely based on his attitude. Nasty little prick!
