38Lucio Uberdan, from the blog Brasil Autogestionário (Self-organized Brazil) comments [pt]:Lucio Uberdan, no blog Brasil Autogestionário, comenta:
39A movement that proposes to replace the use of cars by bikes ends up being, in this context, an “action of reckless people”, “quixotes” facing “windmills” and therefore nothing is more logical than to “stop this bullshit” (perhaps this is not only the thinking of the driver who caused the accident, but of many newspaper readers). Marcelo in the blog of the group Critical Mass, says [pt]:Um movimento que propõe a substituição do uso do automóvel pela bicicleta acaba sendo, neste contexto, uma “ação de inconsequentes”, “quixotes” enfrentando “moinhos de vento” e portanto, nada mais lógico de “acabar com a palhaçada” (talvez este tenha sido não só o pensamento do motorista que causou o acidente, mas de muitos leitores de jornal).
40At the corner of José do Patrocínio [street] with Luiz Afonso [street], Critical Mass in Porto Alegre suffered an assassination attempt, and do not be fooled when reading ACCIDENT on RBS [major media outlet in the state] and others [media outlets].

43Helton Scheer de Moraes, in a testimony reproduced on the Critical Mass group's blog, was one of the first to be hit by the car and comments [pt]:
44The driver didn't scratch anyone: he pushed, on purpose, a cyclist/bicycle with his car in a threatening manner at least once just before the main collision.
45(…) The others didn't close [in around] him, causing the collision.Bicicletas destruídas espalhadas pelo chão.
46He was already “closed in” since the start of the demonstration, i.e. at least for 500 meters, simply by the fact that the bikes were circulating throughout the street, as always occurs during a Critical Mass event.
47What CAUSED the collision was the acceleration of the vehicle, on purpose, against a group of cyclists.Foto de Lucas Valente, usada com permissão do autor
48There wasn't a moment in which it happened, there was the moment it started, because - I saw and lived it (I was practically the first to be hit) - right after [the car] hit me, the driver took a LONG TIME to go for a GOOD STRETCH running over consecutively dozens of bikes, without deviating and without slowing down, like ploughing through a cornfield, with the difference that, fortunately, the bikes and riders were thrown upward and sideways and not down under the car.
