UM... THIS IS ASSAULT AND ALL THAT SORT OF FELONIOUS STUFF. I HOPE YOU CALLED THE POLICE.

You had to make this a bike thing with the image caption, didn't you?
And I wouldn't advise you to pull a DamosA and retaliate by breaking a window.
We all know where that got him.

I advise calling the cops before hurling the bike lock through the window. It's like the guy who calls the cops on someone who stole their drugs.

I agree with Graham. What kind of car was it, btw?

Black stationwagon-esque shape... I know nothing about car models and it was dark out. I didn't get a model or license. I did call the non-emergency line after work, and they said to call right away next time so they could send a squad car out to look for the guilty party.

@CLARE: YOU WAITED EIGHT HOURS TO NOTIFY THE POLICE THAT SOMEONE WAS DRIVING AROUND AND SHOOTING FIREWORKS AT PEOPLE?!? YOUR SENSE OF CIVIC DUTY IS DEPRESSING LACKLUSTER. WHAT IF THEY HAD SERIOUSLY HURT THE NEXT PERSON THAT THEY SHOT AT?

I would have felt really bad. Next time I'll know what to do, but this morning I was mostly happy to not be hurt and concerned with doing my job.

Clare: I think it's shitty that this happened and I'm glad you're okay.

It added absolutely nothing to the narrative to make this a cycling issue other then to gain cool points. So minus ten points for that..

CONFIDENTIAL TO THOSE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT BICYCLES: THE AUTHOR WAS RIDING HER BICYCLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED; THEREFORE BICYCLES ARE PART OF THE STORY. SHE'S NOT JUST "MAKING IT ABOUT BIKES".

Graham suxxx. Not to say I disagree with what he/she says, they just suck because every post I see of their's I think they are trolling because they insist on typing in all caps. You suck Graham, type like a normal person.

And I mean normal in the sense like someone who doesn't insist on "internet shouting" every opinion they have on a topic, no one gives half a fuck about your candor so stop pretending like it's more important than everyone else's candor you pretentious sack of used douche.

@ :-(

I can't believe I'm doing this, but you need to mind your own business. Graham has been typing in all caps since long before you were a gleam in the internet's eye, so either get with the Blogtown program or... ahem... GTFO!!!

I agree with :-( , and I bet most of the blogtown readers do too! I've been a reader of blogtown for years and the all caps thing is played out. Get a new schtick or as Evil Wm. Steven Humphrey says, GTFO!

:-( SUXXX. NOT TO SAY I DISAGREE WITH WHAT HE/SHE SAYS, THEY JUST SUCK BECAUSE EVERY POST I SEE OF THEIR'S I THINK THEY ARE TROLLING BECAUSE THEY INSISTT ON POSTING ANONYMOUSLY WITHOUT CREATING A BLOGTOWN ACCOUNT. YOU SUCK :-(, TROLL LIKE YOU GIVE A DAMN.

I'M ON TEAM GRAHAM.

And Clare - it really sounds like they randomly picked the perfect person to shoot at. No retaliation, no call to the cops, and you didn't look at the car's make, model, or license plate. Maybe they knew you?

Remind me not to "dress too sexy" around Reymont.

Hey asshole, WTF did Reymont's comment have to do with "dressing too sexy"? You're an idiot.

GO TEAM GRAHAM! (Even if I do think he's on his manses this week, and is especially ornery.)

Seems inclined to blame the victim, genius. Go back to your coloring book.

Please! Everyone. Feel free to dress as sexy as you like.

BORING TROLL MAKING RAPE JOKES IS BORING. ACTUALLY, BORING TROLL MAKING RAPE JOKES IS A LITTLE BIT DISGUSTING AND BY MAKING THOSE SORTS OF JOKES IS ACTUALLY HELPING TO FACILITATE RAPE CULTURE. FOR SHAME, TROLL; FOR SHAME! IF YOU'RE GOING TO TROLL, HAVE SOME SOME CLASS.

@AF: SOMEONE HAS TO PICK UP THE SLACK AROUND HERE WHILE CLIFTON BROOKS IS ON VACATION.

22 hits! I think my work here is done. Sorry for not applying for the position formally, Mr. Humpfrey.

See you all tomorrow night at Commando!

you know, if it was a dark station wagon, it could actually be the same people who shot those homeless guys, the police have changed their ID of that suspect vehicle from a pickup truck to a dark station wagon.

At that hour of the morning, its quite possible they were drunk, high or both. Either way forget the bike lock idea (it's just a bad idea, period. The potential for further assault ,vehicular or otherwise does not help matters), get to safety and call the Police immediately. That was assault. I am directing this at anyone who experiences this in the future. I would certainly hope Clare does not have bullshit like this happen twice.

Cars are a safer way to get around, especially at that hour.
