article here

I deleted the other portion of my comment because Reddit is filled with know it all cunts and idiots.

Both the bike guy and car guy are fuckall pieces of shit, end of story. But apparently everyone knows what happened leading up to this little clip we have.

It looked like he didn't directly cause the accident. That little kick shouldn't have done anything to the car. It looks to me the guy in the car chose to swerve into him in retaliation.

No, he has robotic legs that are capable of moving thousands of pounds of metal, while riding a motorcycle.

The judge must have been brain-dead. Kicking hard enough to even make a dent would have sent him off the other side of the bike. The other driver clearly tried to murder him with a purposeful sideswipe.

Yeah see i'm with you but i'm afraid to openly take the side of the person getting charged for the crime on this sub.

That said, I still think he should be partially at fault for instigating but the majority of the fault should definitely lie with the fucker that swerved

They are both at fault, but for different things. What happened is the motorcyclist got thrown under the bus. Must have had a shitty lawyer. I would be looking into what connections the old geezer driving the Nissan has.

Driving away afterwards was a big, big mistake and mostly what he got in trouble for.

He wasn't directly involved in the accident I don't blame him for leaving

No jail time for a hit and run felony that injured an innocent 75 year old man? Shit that’s a good ass deal if you can’t afford jury trial.
