A request for witnesses or involved parties in the Timothy Swift crazed driver with a gun saga...
While my email was on the fritz I received 2 requests for more information, one from a cyclist who was involved in the incident, and another from the police themselves. Here they are:
Care about crazed drivers running down bicycles and pulling guns? Here's a chance to make a difference. If you witnessed anything in the Critical Mass incident involving Timothy Swift, the Austin Police Department wants to hear from you. You can reach Detective King at (512)974-6293 . I went in and gave testimony, and Detective King needs more if they're going to pursue a case against Tim Swift. If you don't take the < hour to contribute, you lose your right to complain about crazed drivers for the rest of your bicycling life.
