Instant karma strikes an unsportsmanlike bicyclist

  1. Is it still considered karma if it's administered by a human agent?

  2. Am I the only one watching this hoping that spectator (thug) got locked up for throwing someone off a bridge? Unsportsmanlike or not they could of been seriously hurt...

  3. Another possibility to consider is that the one tossed off the bridge might have been the victim of misbehavior by the other one earlier in the race. Sometimes it's the second blow that gets punished. Although, as I look at it, I think he's responding to a lean at the 0:02 mark.

    1. Yep, it sorta looks like our cheater was getting cut off (as in he was going to be driven into the wall) before he pushed him away.

      Don't want to agree with youtube trolls commenting, but the way he jumps up on the ledge is kind of weird too..

  5. I was walking home one morning around 1 AM in the Back Bay in Boston when I slipped on the ice and went down on one knee. Two kids driving by in a station wagon laughed at me, so I flipped them the bird. They reacted poorly and did a u-turn on Tremont Street to come back and beat the crap out of me. But they didn't quite make it because there was a cab in the other lane that they t-boned. Which left two suburban kids in Mom's station wagon in downtown Boston (probably with a bunch of empty beer bottles in the back seat) in the middle of the night using a cab as a hood ornament. So, even though I'm pretty sure human action was involved, I've always believed Karma's a real thing - or God looks after drunks, one or the other.
