ANNOTATED – Toronto Cyclist Sheppard Killed – Bryant on security cameras

press HQ for High Quality! NEW FOOTAGE: www.youtube.com This video has annotations. Video without pop-up annotations is at: www.youtube.com This is security camera footage edited in the time sequence according to eyewitness accounts from August 31, 2009 9:45pm www.theglobeandmail.com There may be gaps of time between the available footage. Security camera shows Bryant repeatedly approaching Sheppard with his car and seemingly running the bike down, throwing Sheppard over the hood. (Bloor, west of Bay) Car backs away from a bike and man getting up from the ground. The car accelerates away, driving past the man who runs down the street after/beside the car as it passes him. The bike is left behind. Car speeds down the street on the wrong side. Bryant leaves the scene of the cyclist’s death and is apprehended, apparently 1hr 45 minutes later. Questions remain about the intervening time. His second phone call after the accident was to the PR firm Navigator: www.navltd.com I offer my personal respects and condolences to the families and loved ones of both Mr. Bryant and Mr. Sheppard whose lives have been affected by the brutality of this incident. *** This footage is unaltered except: re-sizing / cropping to fit, brightness contrast adjustment for clarity, cuts between camera angles, and unavoidable artifacts from the video compression algorithms used on the source footages and youtube publishing.

  1. @tremooloo still spamming the board with this astroturf?

    It is clear to me Bryant made the initial attack.

  2. @honestedits Astrowhat? Is it beyond your grasp that more than one person can see Sheppard for the scumbag he was?

  3. thank u tremooloo the idiot was wasted and attacked Bryant first he drove his car into him after sheppard tried to block him in then attack him… Bryant may have panicked but that drunk idiot deserves everything he got! If u look at the actual court evidence he has 9 other incidents just like this it was bound to happen sooner or later! just cause it was a former AG doesnt mean anything! what is pathetic is the cyclist community would even try and stick up for this nut jjob

  4. manslaughter

  5. I’m certainly glad they got this case right. There are alot of arrogant and obnoxious cyclists in the city that are just looking for trouble. Well, He got it…

    Cyclists need to obey the rules as they apply to them…unfortunately most don’t. Hopefully this fool’s mistake will begin a change of attitude for Toronto cyclists.

  6. @TSM8088 Wrong. Killing someone because they hurt your feelings for jumping ahead of you is not considered rational, or even legal, human behavior. If that was the case, then people have a right to stab someone who cuts in front of them at the checkout counter at the store.

  7. @dirty30jr In Bryant’s case, mans laughter, because he got away with it.

  8. @gBoake Here’s a news flash, you cannot use your vehicle to move obstacles out of the way. It’s a car, not a bulldozer. If Sheppard was lying in the middle of the road in protest, Bryant would not be allowed to drive over him.
    There was only one lane in operation that night. The curb lane was closed off. Darcy had no bike lane, so if he moved into a spot in front of Bryant, he was not breaking any laws. But Bryant using his vehicle as a battering ram definitely broke laws.

    @tremooloo The proof is in the pudding; Bryant is a loose canon and made the attack.

    why didn’t douche bag bryant just say sorry like any other sane individual instead of trying to take off? i truly hope that asshole gets what he deserves.

  11. Looks like the little blur cut off the big blur, then the big blur hits the little blur. After that it’s all a blur.

    As far as the car damage goes. It’s obviously NOT the result of side swpiing an object…that would leave streak marks along the side, not dents. Dents would be the result of a direct impact.

    As for driving on the wrong side of the street the editor missed the construction signs indicating the ‘proper’ side was blocked.

    keep your tinfoil hats on kids!

    One thing is for sure, if it was an any of us driving we would be in a dark jail cell.

  13. Fucking shit quality video.

    How the hell are we supposed to judge fairly with that kind of quality?

  14. @phillydisco u are us uniformed as most of the others on this site! If u read the court documents and listened to the EYE witnesses u would know the psycho went at bryant for no reason he didnt just pull in front of him second byants car stalled and while trying to keep an eye on the insane person in front of him forgot to shift to neutral befor restarting his car witch is why (in the barley viewable video) he ran into sheppard!

    @tremooloo My thoughts exactly, and I’m an active cyclist too.

  16. i completely agree with tremooloo. the most recent reports show that the cyclist was just crazy and psychotic and latched on to the side of the car and was grabbing the steering wheel with no apparent reason whatsoever. if that was happening to me, and my wife was in the car with me and as her husband it would be my duty to protect her, i would by all means try and get this guy off my car. its unfortunate it had to go down with his death, but its instinct to get away

  17. tremooloo, you are 100% right…

  18. Darcy died they way he lived, like a drunk pitbull.

  19. @abelign1991 Wrong. For a guy who was trying to protect his ‘wife’, who happened to be blonde at the time, Bryant sure did drive in a dangerous and aggressive manner, down the wrong side of the street at high speeds! In no way did Sheppard have the steering wheel, otherwise Bryant could not control the vehicle from hitting the trees or mailboxes he was steering Sheppard into.
    If you were run down by a car that then decided to flee the scene, I’m sure you’d be crazy and psychotic too.

    either way it was a bitch move-i would have jumped out and knuckled up, then drove away lol-then everybody lives……

  21. MoeGreensRightEye on June 20th, 2010 at 10:28 pm

    A perpetually pissed off and bitter bicyclist pedaling around town instigating confrontations with people in expensive cars (jelous much?) gets bumped off. This is almost as good as when they made a pancake out of Rachel Corrie.

  22. MoeGreensRightEye on June 21st, 2010 at 1:46 am

    @MoeGreensRightEye jelous=jealous.

    BTW, does anyone know where this Darcy fellow is buried? I’d like to go piss on his grave.

  23. InternetAddict2012 on July 6th, 2010 at 11:28 pm

    Trust me.. I live in Toronto and work at Bay and Adelaide. I see these assholes all the time and yes they are fucked up and high and drunk. The couriers are total traffic assholes, worse than cabbies and the fact that they’re all drug abusing twits makes it worse. I mean, who the fuck drinks and rides a bike in traffic and expects to live. The worst thing is, is that is that cock Bryant was in fact just defending himself against this methhead, he ended up killing his ass and ruining his life

  24. @tremooloo IM WITH U THERE ,IT HAPPENED TO ME!…I RAN HIM OVER.

  25. he was out of control, confirmed to be attacking other drivers.and his luck ran out.
    End of story period.
