i would like to write "this has nothing to do with cars, that SUV driver was sick" but i don't know what possesses relatively peaceful people to act like maniacs once they start driving.

Would a 52 year old man walking in Paris try to kill a 27 year old he doesn't even know, if they were both walking and he just wanted to walk faster?

i did what Paul did so many times to remind a driver that i am not just an obstacle on the road but another human. I stood before cars or sometimes buses to look the driver in the eye and say "now we see each other, be careful". I'm still alive, Paul is dead. 🤷

Would Paul go down under if the car wasn't a SUV?

Does that maniac know why he bought a SUV instead of a "reasonable" car?

Recently they started physically separating bike lanes in France, because a line on the road doesn't mean shit to an entitled dipshit. Bike lanes are just more space for their urban tanks.

A judge will now rule whether he should be held in custody ahead of trial.

There was an update that the murderer will be held in custody

apparently Paul was a cycling activist for Paris en selle

ohh wow EU has these people too!

that SUV sure kept him safe

That is reckless driving and straight up murder. He should be in prison for the rest of his life.

I'll take 'things that would not make international news in my country' for $200

A judge will now rule whether he should be held in custody ahead of trial

That's standard procedure. Police can't just hold him forever without judges making the decision for them.

In France they determine mainly if there's a risk of fleeing, or a risk to society.

The same process would've been done after a murder with a gun.

It's the same in America, they just made it a business and a part of filling for profit prisons with poor people.

On an unrelated note, I did downvote the whole article because you tacked your opinion onto it. Why not just make a comment that we can vote on instead of pinning it to the top?
