    Attacks like that don’t just happen in a vacuum.

    Right, they happen when entitled motor vehicle drivers feel disrespected. The cyclist may have even done something stupid beforehand that put everyone in that car in danger.

    But it almost certainly doesn’t matter, because there is almost nothing that cyclist could have possibly done that would justify the violence in that video.

    I think that’s why no one here seems to care.

      I’d say there’s absolutely no justification. Even if the cyclist killed the man’s wife first, it wouldn’t justify it. But it would make it understandable.

      As it is there’s no way to understand what happened. And everyone seems content assuming they do.
