[SDCBC] EX-ER Doc Charged in L.A. Cyclists crash

[Danette Hoffert]

There are some sick people out there and let's hope this man gets a felony
and jail time.  He needs to be on the receiving end of a bull.  I find
it interesting that this man is not actively practicing medicine .  Probably
some history here and previous behavioral problems (or drugs).  It would be
nice to get a group of riders to picket his business (Touch Medix) on his
sentencing day with blown up pictures of what his "accident" did to these
people's lives.  We could also do some damage with e-mails to keep this
alive when anyone does a search of this man or his business.

BTW, there was a similar event in San Diego.  A couple was riding up Torrey
Pines Road at 10:00 am last Sunday.  The husband got ahead of his wife so
they were not side by side.  Torrey Pines is 3 lanes with one of the widest
bike lanes in the city.  There was absolutely NO traffic, which is
unfortunate=no witnesses, which means it was most likely calculated by the
driver.  Suddenly the first rider who was behind, a petite woman, heard a
car horn blaring continuously behind her and a car swerved into her.  She
managed to swerve to avoid a problem and watched as he did the same to her
husband.  They called the police (she was crying) and the police did respond
immediately and took the complaint seriously.  It was a white, American car
and a male driver.  I guess we need to have our cameras ready when we are
out there.

After reading about the "quack," I should spread the word now that I see
that this "doctor" had demonstrated the same behavior prior to his attack.
