    An American couple hit a cyclist with their SUV in Reykjavík just over a week ago and fled the scene after falsely claiming they were going to look for a parking space. The victim, Búi Aðalsteinsson, described the incident to mbl.is as something out of a movie.

      “Tourists hit cyclist and fled the scene”

                  While I can emphasize with people being panicked and scared of consequences for doing a major fuckup, I believe that its in those moments its most important to stay on course of what is moraly correct.

                  As most people, I have had moments where I did not live up to the words above, and those are the usually moments that bother me the most on sleepless nights. The moments when my actions did not live up to my morals.

                                        and as the US has over 800x the population of Iceland, it could be seen as if that couple hit over 800 American cyclists.

                                                      What would Fox News say if someone hit 800 American cyclists?

                                                          Pretty sure they’d give them a standing ovation and a medal. The American right seems to loathe cyclists.

                                                              Probably something about an illegal gathering of bicyclists and how every driver should strive to protect themselves from the roving gangs as this one did

                                                                      • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

                                                                      We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

                                                                      All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
