This does not surprise me. Even though the coverage (I usually watch ch. 8)
has been pretty even on the last couple of bike accidents, it just makes the
"wackos" that hate bike riders no matter what... react in any manner in
which they feel control. I just hope the person (s) defiling the memorial
leave it at that and keep good distances from all of us out on the streets.
Be careful and courteous. Time will let their hate destroy them.
