Honyocker's Perspective

Levi’s GranFondo Cyclists in Hospital – PD Trolls Wage War.

Serious threats with looming felonious repercussions have been removed from the Press Democrat’s forum website in the last 12 hours.  I was able to preserve a screenshot of the page, and the threats against Sonoma County Cyclists (image below).

It is my hope that by preserving this, everyone can learn to take this kind of hate-speech more seriously.  While I understand that the folks at the PD have a very difficult job to do – every day – I do not want to see this potential evidence swept under the rug.  Doing so, in my mind, would equate to complicity.  It is not known if the original is lost forever, along with the offensive poster’s IP addresses, etc.

Currently, there are TWO Gran Fondo cyclists in the hospital with life threatening brain injuries.  One is a confirmed & witnessed hit & run (as reported), the other has evidence of a hit & run, but no witness, and an injured party with no memory of the accident on Coleman Valley Road.  The vehicle that is responsible for the confirmed hit & run is reported to have been seen on Coleman Valley Road around the time of the unconfirmed injury.

The community needs your help in tracking down and prosecuting these potential cyclist murderers.

Admittedly, the following may not be associated in any way/shape or form to the hit & run(s).  Nevertheless, it warrants your attention:
