This article sucks shit. Like, it's super wish washy and reads as if they are actually blaming the cyclist. Shouldn't the dump truck driver be charged?
It's infuriating but also it must be admitted that carceral approaches to traffic safety will not work. However, I do very much like the idea of going after the company who put the bin there that blocked the safer bike infrastructure that existed.
Is there a way to make those big steel bins unusable, quickly, without big power tools? Given their nature I can't imagine that just throwing corrosives in will do any permanent damage. But if there's a way to make a bin permanently unusable without getting caught, with just what one can casually carry, then maybe some property destruction will incentivize the bin owner to stop pulling that crap.
Just look at this fucking language, they make it sound like the cyclist made the choice to fucking die
Anti-cyclist language is as common as copaganda in the media once you know how to look for it. I've been commuting by bike for 10+ years and it's unbelievable how biased the North American media and public are against cyclists
"Officer-involved shooting" but for illegal dumpsters.
