      “Struck” is doing some heavy lifting here.

      “The agency said Rapp and a fellow bicyclist were riding on a local road when Medina passed them in his car, **stopped, and drove his vehicle in reverse.** Medina then hit Rapp, and she was pronounced dead after emergency responders brought her to a hospital.”

      She wasn’t struck and killed. This was not an accident. She was murdered by a man with his car ffs

      He backed his car into her on purpose?

      Did he recognize her or what because wtf?

    4. How someone can only be charged with manslaughter, after passing the victim then putting the car in reverse is confusing to me.

      So he was frustrated that they took a few seconds of his time by sharing the road, but he had time to stop, back up, murder her, and do time in prison??

      Can a lawyer explain why the driver isn’t being charged with murder?

      Imagine throwing your life away cause you couldn’t be a big boy.

    8. Why is hitting someone with your car basically the perfect murder in the US?

      I once had someone pull a gun on me for cycling in the street. Sad thing is, it was probably only one of about 10 times my life has been threatened for cycling.

      This car-centric culture that ignores the dangers associated with it is horrendous.
