Damn, can't believe some of you guys are confused why the DAD booked it with this his fucking infant child in the back seat. Think the driver was thinking rationally when they started bashing his windows with a helmet? Heck, even if I didn't have a kid with me, the moment the started surround my shit, I'd just run them all the fuck over.

I'm not gonna fucking have a conversation with 30+ probably coked up angry bikers when i have my family with me. Are you fucking INSANE

 

[Brian Griffin]

Never said the motorcyclists were justified. All I'm saying is SUV guy had his wife and 2yr old child in the car with him and decided to act all tough. The SUV guy could be 100% in the right but you don't mess with people if you're not ready for the blow back especially with your family in the car. A sensible person wouldn't put their family in danger.

So according to you, being surrounded and stopped by a large gang of bikers on the freeway who are slashing your tires is not a dangerous situation? Do you just sit there and let them traumatize your family and destroy your property? Honest question.

Are you just not reading what I typed. How did it come to this. So you're saying these bikers just picked on this guy for no reason. Just say that if you believe it.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

If somebody is bashing in my windows on the freeway, I am running them over. They shouldn't mess with people if they are not ready for the blow back of being ran over.

YES! All evidence points to them just fucking with him for no reason.

 

[Pop On Arrival]

I dunno, but I'm more inclined to think that the group of biked hooligans were out there to start trouble, not the dude driving around with his 5 year old son. Even if he did something annoying, the most appropriate response would be to just give him the bird and move on with your day. Not fucking surround him and make him fear for his and his families safety.

 

[hokahey]

YES! All evidence points to them just fucking with him for no reason.

Which is not uncommon for these mass bike rides.

 

[Gallbaro]

It has always been a fantasy of many New Yorkers to violently murder the Dirt Bike People. Spike Strips, Clothes Lines, Cars, means do not matter. The trash in this video is clearly of the Dirt Bike ilk, despite different vehicles of annoyance.

-Society is on the site of the Dad.

 

[Discusguy]

YES! All evidence points to them just fucking with him for no reason.

Please show me the evidence that you are seeing so I could be more informed.

One time on the 10 by downtown, I saw a woman in red mustang cut off a bike, she wasn't paying attention. The biker just sped up next to them, tapped their front hood and flicked them off and drove off.

I thought that was reasonable. He didn't sit there and badger them for miles.

 

[jett]

Fuck those bikers.

 

[Brian Griffin]

Please show me the evidence that you are seeing so I could be more informed.

Read the thread like I and everyone else did. It's all there. The main thing would be the video in the OP since it was recorded by one of the bikers and if the driver of the SUV had done something shitty don't you think they would have included it?

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

It looks/sounds like the Range Rover guy honked at the motorcyclist guy when he made a dangerous lane change at the beginning of the video, which was soon followed by the brake check (I'm guessing the motorcyclist was annoyed by the honk and thought he could troll the driver). The motor cyclist douche initiated the whole thing. From whats shown in that video, the driver did nothing wrong.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Are you just not reading what I typed. How did it come to this. So you're saying these bikers just picked on this guy for no reason. Just say that if you believe it.

Yes. These are known groups that do this in metro areas around NYC and there is even a documentary coming for the Baltimore group the 12 O' Clock boys. While not every one of them is a douchenozzle the ones causing shit are probably regulars wit their license plates removed. I had friends who used to live in NYC and they would just stay out of the way they ride sidewalks they try and get n altercations, they are human filth.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

yea, it's the bikers video. wouldn't they want to show what the driver did if the driver was at fault .

i don't get it. it's their video, why edit out the proof the other guy is at fault.

 

[Discusguy]

Read the thread like I and everyone else did. It's all there. The main thing would be the video in the OP since it was recorded by one of the bikers and if the driver of the SUV had done something shitty don't you think they would have included it?

So you have nothing but the video like everyone else in this thread.

Splitting lanes is fine if you pick a gap and go with it. When you start using cars like a slalom course, we've got a problem.

That's funny.

 

[Formosa]

So you have nothing but the video like everyone else in this thread.

And the video is the best evidence... Driver is already released w/o charges. They are going after the bikers.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Those bikers must have thought that they were in the right by posting that video. Instead, it shows them surrounding the vehicle and trapping them in, while the bike in the front center BRAKE CHECKS their vehicle. If that's not damning for the bikers, I don't know what is.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

So you have nothing but the video like everyone else in this thread.

It's the bikers own video, right? Why did they release it? They thought they were in the right with what was on the video for some reason.

Do you not acknowledge that they control the evidence flow, and this is all they come up with? Why don't they release the part where the driver was fucking with them first?

 

[Kalnos]

Act like a bunch of cunts, threaten a family, get run over. Makes sense to me.

 

[puebla]

they blocked a whole highway to annoy him. fuck them, i'm mad he didn't run more of them over.

 

[Amagon]

Act like a bunch of cunts, threaten a family, get run over. Makes sense to me.

No, the driver instigated the whole thing, I just know it.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

You can't be serious

 

[Fusebox]

Are you just not reading what I typed. How did it come to this. So you're saying these bikers just picked on this guy for no reason. Just say that if you believe it.

All signs point to YES:

New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said authorities are trying to identify some of bikers in the attack, but they did not have license plates on their motorcycles, the NY Daily News reports.

Authorities say the bikers were in the city for an event called Hollywood Stuntz, where they intended to drive around Manhattan doing tricks, NBC New York reports.

 

[Rafterman]

So you have nothing but the video like everyone else in this thread.

And yet, everyone else seems to get what you don't. This was the biker fault...full stop. As someone who has been in a similar incident with mob mentality asshats it's pretty disgusting that anyone would side with the bikers in this instance.

When I was 16, I had a group of 5 angry rednecks chase me (and my 14 year old sister) around town in their truck, repeatedly try and smash my car windows and ram my vehicle. They finally cornered me in a cul de sac. Two of them stood in front of the car while the others again tried breaking the windows and getting in the doors. I gunned it. One of them managed to move, the other bounced off my hood like a rock. He's lucky I didn't run him over, and if I had I wouldn't have given a shit. I was scared for my life at that point. You wanna know what started it? One of the guys in the bed intentionally flicked his cigarette at the hood of my car and it flew in the window and burnt my sisters arm, she flipped him a bird.

I guess, according to your messed up logic, a 14 year old girl picked the wrong red necks to fuck with? Sorry, that's just stupid, ever hear of proportionate response? There are some people in this world who are just looking for a reason to start shit with people and setting them off doesn't make what they do acceptable. This driver didn't ask for any of it to happen and he did the best he could in his situation.

Seems pretty obvious what happened. Get a mob of douchebags together and they think they can do whatever they want. Obviously even the police think it was their fault as they pressed no charges are are actively looking for motorcyle riders.

 

[Bowler]

Rumor Recap:
1. bikers riding mob style
2. RR merges into highway and clips one bike who crashes at low speed
2A. Video starts
3. Bikers then try and slow RR.
4. RR then hits and runs over biker in green kawi
5. http://instagram.com/p/e5uuWsCSx3/ owner of green kawi
7. Mob ensues
8. More bikes hit, milk crate breaks as driver fears for himself and family
9. 50 blocks later tires slashed driver gets pulled out and beaten
10. Nypd confiscates multiple bikes charges pending
11. Press release from nypd only states events from when video starts.

All I got so far.

Kelly said the bikers did not have a permit for the rally and the NYPD only learned of the show-boating event — in its second year — through social media.
He said police had fanned out around Manhattan to watch for trouble, arresting 15 bikers and confiscating 55 motorcycles unrelated to the attack on the Range Rover.

Yep sounds like upstanding members of society just having some good old fun, how dare someone try to protect their family and inadvertently cause harm to some of these fine individuals.

This could change things but it sounds like it was an accident or did the RR driver hit and run because of #2?

 

[vikki]

The SUV guy could be 100% in the right but you don't mess with people if you're not ready for the blow back especially with your family in the car. A sensible person wouldn't put their family in danger.

At what point was the guy in the SUV acting all tough? I'm willing to accept that you may be a troll, but in case you are serious, what makes you think he was acting tough?

It's funny, my wife knows someone who's brother was there and she was convinced that it was the SUV driver's fault, based off of misinformation, until she watched the video. The video clearly shows the SUV being surrounded by a bunch of bikers. If they did start damaging his car then it is not a time for him to swallow his pride, it is a time for him to GTFO and protect his family.

edit: and my wife also told me that the news was wrong, that there were injuries.

 

[Bowler]

They started brake checking the RR after a minor merging accident. In which the RR did not stop. Then they took matters into there own hands. Forced the RR to stop, which resulted in the RR to run over a biker and bike.

 

[Bodacious]

Bunch more footage taken by the same rider before the incident with the RR. Gives you some idea of the shit these assholes were up to.

Edit: holy shit check out the guy weaving through opposing traffic at the beginning of the next-to-last video. WTF.

 

[xbhaskarx]

hope the full force of the law comes down on those bikers. Take there bikes away, ALL of them.

- use noise ordinances to seize all motorcycles... I think most people who have lived in large cities hate bikers.

 

[Sushigod7]

The bikers are lucky that the driver didn't pull a gun on them, I know a lot of guys who would have pulled their weapon it would have been justified when the guy tried to open the door and then when they broke the window with the helmet and pulled him out. I would have defended my family no buts about it with a car, gun, knife whatever no matter if the guy clipped a biker or not they could have reported the hit and run no need to take things into your own hands. Sad account if the biker that was originally clipped is the one in the coma and now this family has had to endure the attack as well.

 

[blackflag]

So you have nothing but the video like everyone else in this thread.

How about the fucking cop that said the same thing.

 

[mernst23]

That last video, riding on sidewalks, cutting people off making rights turns off on the right, blowing by reds. Wow.

 

[Homeboyd]

How about the fucking cop that said the same thing.

Yeah, but like, all you have is the video and the cop. So yeah. That's, like, nothing.

If true this changes the tone of the chain of events but doesn't excuse the specific Bikers that attacked the vehicle. Rumors are rumors but it is worth noting that all the articles that have been listed, even those quoting Police officers, only tell the story from the Range Rover drivers side (and obviously he wouldn't admit to doing anything that could have incited the Bikers).

Police haven't charged anyone yet according to that ABC News article that was posted earlier on this page. That makes me think there is more to the story. Need to wait and see what the investigation uncovers. Either way the Bikers that attacked are majorly in the wrong. All that could change is that the Range Rover driver could possibly be in the wrong as well if those rumors turn out to be true.

 

[I'm an expert]

will never get to walk his daughter down the isle..., doesn't even exist in this equalization.

Not gonna lie..I had to think about this one for a second till I got it.

 

[RobotChant]

He was slashed, not shot, it sounds exactly like a knife was involved.

Or the window that was smashed inches from him, cut him up. Yes, those shards are sharp enough to cut you and leave you all bloody. The NYT and the ABC report mentions cuts to his face and nothing about being slashed in the face. Talk of a knife being used to cause those cuts is a presumption based on suspect reporting.

fucking cunts

 

[DogMeat77]

Natural Selection.

After watching some of the extra footage pulled from the bikers Youtube account, I don't expect many of these bikers to make it much longer in life driving like that.

As far as the incident goes, I'm sure the RR did something to piss them off BUT once someone is scared for their life all bets are off and the law provides you the room to use lethal force.

 

[Sushigod7]

So did all the bikers take off after the NYPD showed up? I don't understand if the RR guy ran over someone wouldn't all his buddies who where next to him stick around and give statements?

Ok but I was referring to your suggestion that it couldn't have been a knife attack because he was treated and then released.

They can't charge anyone when everybody flees on bikes that have no identifying plates.

That would be pretty damning to the driver if the rumor is true, but you don't try to force the dude to stop. You have his plates and you can tail him. It is not the biker's job to carry out justice.
