Bryant has hired one of the best PR firms in the country to deal with the fallout of this. I don't know whether it's their doing or not, but a pretty good job is being done to demonize the cyclist at this point. He had something like 62 charges pending in Alberta, relating to passing fraudulent cheques. He had been in rehab (alcoholism) 4 days prior. He'd been drinking and had a run-in with police an hour or two earlier.
Then, of course, we have that Bryant was celebrating his anniversary with his wife prior to the altercation. While police have said that alcohol was not a factor, you have to wonder a bit.
