Records are showing that investigators are using the apparent Facebook musings of a Houston bicyclists to connect him to a recorded attack of a driver in the Third Ward.
Michael Len Johnson appears to admit to taking part in a bicycle mob attack against a driver in Houston's Third Ward.A 42-year-old man has been charged with criminal mischief in connection to a confrontation with a driver during a mass bike ride in Houston's Third Ward.
The charge stems from a mass bike ride on June 15 when driver Herschel Cashin was swarmed by dozens of people on bikes.Video shared with Eyewitness News showed Cashin driving in the middle of the bicyclists. At times, both he and the riders were traveling into oncoming traffic. Cashin was within a mile of his home when, he said, it turned violent.At the intersection of South MacGregor and Scott, Cashin could go no further.
"What the media is portraying as an angry mob is us standing our ground," the post read. "We are not the aggressors here, we are the protectors...I broke the windshield, and I stand behind my actions. I didn't attack a vehicle out of anger. I disabled a vehicle that was being used indiscriminately as a weapon against any member of the group who was in the driver's way. The windshield was broken because, in my mind, if you can't see, you can't drive.
Since the ride, HPD Chief Troy Finner has met with organizers to discuss how everyone can share the road. It is a delicate subject.
