This is like the mathematician's joke, that begins, "Assuming an infinite plane..." The man did not just decide to kill a woman motorcyclist for the heck of it, like the guy that killed my friend Yancy. He was triggered by something. Maybe she cut him off. Whatever. He felt wronged, so he attacked. Was she the "instigator" in his mind? I assume so, because he felt a compelling need to confront her. She headbutted him with her helmet on. Etc... I believe my position is the lesser of two evils because it preserves the life and wellness of the person who did not instigate violence.
