I’ve been reading this whole argument and this whole thread and man you haven’t got a clue. You aren’t the bike rider are you?
You sure don’t understand that when someone tries to blackmail you, no matter how small the amount, it is still illegal and giving in and paying that person (a known felon in this case) would only reinforce the illegal behavior. It would also, in effect, be admitting fault on DeWine’s part. Something I am sure his lawyer didn’t want his client to do.
You really are lost in this discussion. You are siding with someone who caused an accident and tried to gain from it financially. Why should anyone reward this crook for his behavior?
Since you feel that way I am sure you would advise Mike DeWine to see that that this uppity dishwasher/bicyclist is prosecuted.
