<div>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. </div>
<div><br>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. </div>

<div>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. </div>
