A good a reason as any not to use organised social media.

facebook is fine with encouraging assaults with deadly vehicles. facebook is not your friend. facebook has tricked your friends.

Granted. The problem isn't those who don't use social media.
It is those that do, who sadly are ignorant enough to be influenced by it. I've added the link at the bottom of the OP so others can try and report it to.

For some reason FB puts these on my feed... hide or block them all.

Yup, so called 'fun' without any responsibility.

Fact is it drives clicks thus earning Facebook and the like money. I think of it as war jaw. Once upon a time jaw jaw was mainly civil with an erudite factor.

Those sort of people would be just as dumb if they met in secret in illuminati safe houses.

The social media is just one medium, they'd still be twats if it didn't exist.

Sad keyboard warriors hiding behind the anonymity of the interweb. Ignore it.

Nice that - hardly surprising that acts of violence towards us are so normalised in society with shoot like this floating about unchallenged.

I'm sure they'd not get away with it were this content effectively promoting such a sickening attitude towards any other demographic.

Tbh all this, and the prevailing mindset that it supports / encourages, does is confirm how thick / selfish / brainwashed the majority of people are, and as such how deserving they are of the contempt I generally feel for them.

Wish I hadn’t looked at it. The amount of people that find it funny is absolutely sickening!

Ironically, there is no bike path in the picture.

Sums up the whole attitude really - irrational and unfounded just like most peoples' hatred of cyclists..

Same here. The response was very quick so I suspect it was automated. I’ve asked for a review which seems to be taking a lot longer so I’m hopeful it is actually going to be a human looking at it.

It won't go away just by ignoring it.
