By all means bike to work on April 11. No matter how dark it is on your ride home, be sure you can positively identify any attacker approaching from behind. If you cannot, be prepared to be made twice a victim. Once from the psychopathic paintball shooter or bat swinger, and once again from the Tucson Police Department, which has said it will not pursue your complaint. Enjoy!
