Well it's shocking, but nowhere near as shocking as the number of people murdered by pedestrians.

Not guilty !


Sadly people being shot by chaps on bikes or motorbikes is a fairy regular occurrence around here,  they usually go for the legs though.  This chap must have upset someone properly.

Thanks to a crappy lift and confusing building works Liverpool Street is almost impervious to cyclists, so there's no risk of anyone getting shot(!)

Heart of gold according to the beeb. As we all know, only the nicest of people have a conviction for firearms possession on their criminal record.
