Dear Is Mise,

Just bloody listen to yourself mate. What you are basically saying is that the rider was such a mindless automaton that it didn't matter what the circumstance he was going to pull a hard left and crash through that gate regardless if there were children or anyone in the road. Therefore anyone who got in his path was at fault.

Now I don't know what the lady had in mind when she went to close the gate. Was it to prevent others entering and endangering lives in the same manner? Possibly. Or was it to contain the idiot for the police to deal with?

But one thing is pretty clear, when the tosser saw the gate being closed he likely panicked. His speed and direction on that last gallop obviously had him thinking of continuing his 'jaunt' but then seeing the gate being closed he quickly became scared as most of these cowards do and violently changed direction before crashing through the gate and injuring the woman. All he cared about was bolting and not facing the consequences of his actions. I think he should have been charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Most people with any semblance of decency and humanity would have stopped and checked on the condition of the person they had knocked so violently to the ground. But not him. He just intent on scarpering.

This is the kind of person you want to not only defend but champion. How utterly sad and pathetic is that.

Steele Redux,
are you that overweight sheilah that was complaining about her cost for electricity on Insight this evening ?

Dear individual,

Why do you even bother mate. Little irrelevant one liners is about all you can come up with nowadays. They use to be occasionally a little pithy but even that seems to have escaped you.

Why don't you have a break and come back and contribute more fully after a rest.

Steele Redux,
You have to agree that you sound just like her, what else is one to assume ?

SR, cut the BS, and stop carrying on as though your opinions matter.
If you were prepared to discuss an event quoting facts and with reason and common sense, you might be taken seriously, but as it is you are talking sh!t.
Go back and have a 'mummy look' at the videos, and even though the crucial moment is not clear in visuals, the audio tells a different story.
Smart arses, the lot of em' trying to play God and box this guy in.
He was already committed and aiming for the exit, you have NO idea or the slightest clue about what happened other than the stupid ole' maggot made a knee jerk decision, spurred on by these other maggots, and the obvious result ensued.
BTW, stop telling people what they are or aren't.
You have yet to work out how to speak the truth, without inserting your version of the truth.
And as for my perception of women, I have a far better understanding of them than you ever will.
Stop your foolish and unprovoked personal attacks, I and OLO'ens are sick and tired of you and your clown mates dragging us off topic to respond to your continual deflections, in the form of personal attacks.
As I have said before,if you find you cannot answer or challenge a comment, just say nothing, instead of going into a barrage of abuse and personal attacks, and that's if you don't show your gutless side and deflect, because you have no answers.
BTW, maggots, are not acknowledged, because they have a habit of conducting themselves in a manner unbecoming a woman.
To stick it one more time, not caring what you think, because we know which side you barrack for.
The guy on the horse is free from blame, the ole' girl and her maggot mates are the guilty parties.
She put herself in harms way, or is she and the others that stupid that they think they can take on a half tonne horse.
Stop dragging us off topic with your arrogance and name calling, or risk being reported.

S R hows it feel? being pounded by some one with the intellect of a long dead sea sponge
Indy, mate! one liners an art is needed and bloke you do not have that skill
Insulting those who think differently than you is just a sport for the lessor of us
Hate, like Brown is hated here, is no going to change a thing
This mine even if in my view it never should, will go ahead no matter who wins the election
Growth and employment, still wins out over planet and a population growing too fast
