Is it perhaps that you don't understand 'allegedly' or 'possibly'? You can clearly mangle your way through a proper non sequitur, to the point of infinite reduction, but can you see the irony in castigating others for taking a viewpoint - based on police action, so actually fair comment - which is much more likely than your own version of events?
But it's all moot - the reason why I didn't go into detail about the cyclist was because I was noting the comments made by the salon owner. I'm sorry that you're confused about that, but it may be that my post caused you to panic and press buttons on your keyboard without thinking. The rest of your contributions seem to back this up.
Mainly, though, I don't think anybody has ever managed to successfully defend themselves in court by claiming that sheer panic and fright caused them to rush AT a perceived assailant, in order to escape through a hairdressers. Whilst driving a car.
Best of luck.
