Michael Bryant book to tell his 'descent into a kind of hell'




TORONTO - Michael Bryant’s take on what it’s like to face prosecution by a system you once ran is coming to a bookstore near you.
The former Ontario attorney general never did face trial after being charged with criminal negligence causing death after a confrontation with cyclist D’Arcy Sheppard — the case was dropped — but the experience will be chronicled by Bryant in a planned book called 28 Seconds.


“There is an untold story within this tragedy, and I wanted to share that story. It’s important to pass along lessons learned regarding our justice system. I’m ready to speak to these very personal issues,” Bryant said in a media release Monday.
But he’s not ready to speak just yet.

He really did go through an ordeal. I remember all those unbiased Torontonians ready to BBQ him without the facts.

And Keith, if ever I can afford a publicist you get the job.

He had his defenders too, it was mostly the anarchist bicycle squad that wanted him lynched. I'm not about to shed a tear for his ordeal though, he has far more access to resources to defend him self then lets say you or I would have.

He's a swine-pure and simple.

He's a swine-pure and simple.

Why?

 

[TenPenny]

He must be a swine, because those bicycle couriers never get upset at normal citizens, they never try to run you down on the sidewalk, or treat everyone as if they're obstacles to be pushed out of the way.

Yes he has more resources, but this also happened on his wedding anniversary and those defending him I say Kudo's, now check the next quote.

Simple illustrates your understanding of the event in question.

Don't go confusing him with facts.

I see I'm the only city cyclist on this thread-to be expected.

What is obvious that you don't believe cyclists have to follow any laws, or that cyclists could ever do anything wrong.

Being a cyclist has nothing to do with what happened in this case other than the guy on the bike was hopped up on drugs and would not relent for three blocks.. If that's how you view things, maybe you oughta park your bike.

I haven't liked the guy since he banned pitbulls (you know that's just a stone's throw from being a racist?) , so I think he deserves heaps of scorn for his every misadventure or over-reaction.

Policy is one thing, this was another. Though I'll likely never own one, I agree the Pit-Bull thing was stupid.

I'm a city cyclist, doesn't mean I have to support drunken fools attacking people while riding their bike.

To be fair, Bryant looks like a pretty evil s hit.

Is this the part where I get to say 'sour grapes' ?

It sure doesn't take much to bring out the bloodthirsty old ignoramuses on this board-they've never met a victim they didn't love to blame.
