The Racine County District Attorney’s office said today that they have decided not to charge the armed bicyclist who was attacked by four thugs in a school zone while riding his bike.
This is not to say that you do not need to pay attention to school zones. It appears district attorneys understand the difference between an act of self defense and a criminal act. In this case, the intended victim had a clean record and did what he felt was needed to stop the attack against him. The fact he was in a school zone (within 1,000 feet of a school property) did not mean he could not defend himself against the four cowardly thugs.
We are making progress folks.
