The original article indeed failed to report all the available facts, the
update (and admission to actually knowing about the biting) was only delivered
a day later…by that time the damage was done and the thousands that read it
were all under the impression that there was a crazed elderly lady roaming the
mountain seeking out vulnerable young female bikers with the intention of
doing harm. If you take the time to read my other comments on here you will
see that I am in no way defending either of the two individuals involved -
only they know exactly what happened. I certainly don't condone any violent
behavior. What I am concerned about is a lack of perspective, and knowing that
there are unfortunately less rational people out there that will throw hateful
speech into social media, that this incident will get blown out of proportion
and will in turn cause either a witch hunt or bad feeling between the various
users of these trails.
