    There was an incident that made the UK national news when a professional cyclist was hunted down by thieves on motorbikes.

    Terrifying. I wouldn’t have a minimum for jail time for animals.

    Beyond submitting camera footage or calling law enforcement when an incident has occurred, I do not know how you would go about stopping the guy you’re describing.

    For starters, the legal system could allow me (and other Canadians) the option to carry defensive weapons, and not punish us for using them in self-defence. I would have no hesitation using bear spray or an extendable baton if I had to, especially on this POS.

    I’m a pacifist and would never want to see violence being used as an option. However, if the police are unwilling to help and the courts don’t want to lock people up, I fully support the use of non-lethal force for self-defence and the protection of property. If we simply allow these criminals to do what they want, that’s what they’ll do.
