Gord and Shaun could have chosen any number of significantly less time
consuming ways of dealing with the information they accumulated. They could
have simply posted their initial videos on the internet; they could have gone
and confronted Mrs Kraal in the foaming-at-the-mouth-rabid-dog way that
mountain bikers are often painted.
The law works slowly and has a much higher requirement for evidence than the
internet, or individuals, and they invested a significant amount of time in
"doing what's right" both in terms of trying to find out who is hurting
people, but also in presenting the local riding community in an excellent,
professional, light by handing their accumulated information over the proper
authorities.
I think most would agree that this is a key point as it goes contrary to many
stereotypes of the local mountain bike community -- including those
perpetuated by some of Mrs Kraals supporters.
