We don't have any context for that 4-second clip, so let's let it go. Be careful out there on the roads and highways, it's not for the weak.

That truck bumping the cyclist is assault, and a disproportionate response to the original offense.

A dick move, no context needed.

But funny in a three stooges/trailer park boys kind of way.

As I understand it, a popular pastime is de humanizing cyclists,
the comments on the original post illustrate both sides of this
current trend.

Neither of which is funny.

In that clip, I saw an entitled cyclist dishing out a couple doses of asshole and receiving a much bigger dose of asshole in return. If the cyclist hadn't dished his doses out, neither would have the truck driver. And when I see an asshole get paid back, I find that satisfying, even if others may not.

That satisfaction has nothing to do with dehumanizing a particular group, it just has to do with karma and actually seeing it in action. There is no law that says karma is proportionate, and my guess is that more often than not, it is disproportionate to any single action. But in general, if one dishes asshole out, it will eventually make its way back around in some way, shape, or form.
