Liberal judges? No.
Judge: liberal, conservative, activist, or not should apply the law equally. If the driver had cared enough to dial 911, the world would be a different place.

Agreed, although my understanding is that in this case, a judge would never even have a chance to get involved. By choosing not to file charges, the DA is stopping the process before it even gets to that point.

Unfortunately, this particular DA seems to be a ladder-climbing, status-seeking wackjob so that makes it hard for the victim to get any sort of fair shake. I know this stuff happens to cyclists a lot but this is really the most egregious case I've heard.

Hopefully the victim can at least file a civil suit and take the jerk for all he's worth.
