I agree with the first part. It is unfortunate that near universal literacy and the internet give bogans the opportunity to abuse each other even more than before. But the consequences of stupidity are never going to be cured by education.…

It seems a cyclist hit the back of a car and cracked one of its taillights. What follows is purely speculation. Was it accidental or deliberate? Did the bicycle hit the car or did the cyclist punch or kick the car? Was the cyclist alone in being at fault, or did the driver contribute to the accident?…
