Comments about leah photo

There are 37 comments about "leah photo"

Media_Baron: The person posting as "driver's brother" states that food was thrown in the passenger's face and that she was called a pig. I wonder how this compares with Leah's recollection of the events... Interesting to note that......

ALEX T.O.: I agree wholeheartedly with Leah's response. ALthough she claims her response was instinctual it was the correct response at the time. The fact that it was documented serves to expose the cowardly behaviour of......

Mach: On the other hand, truth composed inbetween the split seconds of an SLR is rarely a given on unpublished photos and even less so without explanatory captions. Pictures 7-8 reveal her getting the upper hand in......

it\\\'s a wrap: There's actually quite a bit of litter on the road and sidewalk in the photos, even a patty or an empanada just under the white van. I sure hope Leah hug around long enough to......

Coachrob59: Wow! What an adventure! Two people duke it out in Toronto the good and it makes the press all over the world. Let's review; so far we've heard from: 1) Leah, the bike Courier. 2) The......

Ms. Thang: No matter what the driver says( if indeed that was his post)look at your face buddy. Really, nothing more needs to be said. I started cycling in Toronto back in 1980; it was bad then,......

mr_walker: too much writing to digest. tried to leave a comment earlier, now i'm so text-drunk i'm not sure if it made it ... anyways, GOOD ON YA, LEAH! i've done the same (i.e. return......

Both sides: I have read/heard both side of the story. Unfortunately, the "motorist's" side was stated by his fiancé and not by him, as the actual participant. Both sides are plausible but I am still......

justlookatthatevileyedpsycho!!!!!!!!!!: First of all, who carries a baseball bat around in January(the middle of winter)? The guy must have some serious issues! I think road rage, a mid day attack of coffee, bike stomping and assault......

emily: everyone really needs to calm down. i'd like to point out that while there is physical contact in the photos, it does not appear that either is actually hurting the other. and leah didn't make......
