Fear is a powerful emotion, the RR's passengers were his wife and 2 year old baby.
Fearing for your own life is something.
Fearing for your family's safety is exponential.
Fuck the bikers

When you are removing your plates to go do dumbfuckery, I don't really care what your side of the story is. Hope they send a bunch of these jackasses to jail.
Looks like the entire group are morons of the highest caliber.

fuck for the life of me, I don't know. The pictures seem like its entirely plausible, and is the only reason why I keep bringing it up. Not because im some stunter Biker. This shit gives riders a bad name. Their ass hattery will have repercussions on the entire rider group collective.
If I was in the car, with my wife and kids (im 38 and have 2 kids and wife to give perspective) and bared witness to this, Im not so sure I would not have ran the guy over either. The issue is, if the clowns didn't engage, were simply trying to slow traffic so the entire group can get by, or stunt, and I accidently hit one of the bikes, I sure as hell would want to make sure I didn't hurt anyone, and the cops would of been called right then and there.

To be fair, I believe the Police did mention the Biker's injuries as the early articles posted here about the incident mention the Biker who was run over having a Broken Leg. It's more likely the Media who isn't mentioning it for whatever reason.
Here's one such article, though the description in this article differs from others: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york...-side-highway-article-1.1471585#ixzz2gOrAG8lO
Reading that one it reports that the Biker who was run over has both legs broken. This article also says the event started at 2pm (contrary to another that claims 1:30) and also says the incident was started by the Brake Checking. So details are conflicting from different Media sources.
Right, but I just mean riding aggressively against a car. I don't ride anymore, but Christ, they broke a ton of laws (least in my state) simply by how they were riding together. But to try and stop a car is basically signing away your life. The people infront of the SUV are insane.
So you think he hit someone for no reason, despite barely being able to get onto the interstate because they were attempting to block it off illegally? And then when he was trying to drive down the interstate, a biker was brake checking him and forcing him to slow down, at which point he struck the bike.. Then he was brought to a stop by the group of bikes, they surrounded his car and slashed his tires and probably did other damage to his vehicle as well. He has his wife and young daughter in the car and is likely being cussed at and threatened for daring to drive down the interstate and ignoring their illegal roadblocks. Then he takes off because it appears that someone was yelling at him and trying to set him straight, but he probably sees it as a bunch of guys that just slit his tires and fucked up his car are now approaching him so he gets the fuck out of there. Then when his tires are completely flat, they bash in his drivers side window, mess him up some, attempt to smash in his passenger window next to his 2 year old daughter, etc.
Stop trying to defend that or play devil's advocate. This is indefensible.
That pack of bikers were asking for trouble the way they behaved on the road, a pack like that riding in the city and something happened? Big surprise. I don't think the driver of the Range Rover was exactly right at potentially running bikes/people over but everything after that was the bikers fault. They could have reported the guy and ended it there, but that mob mentality took over and the result is the video. If the pack of bikers is the same as those other Live Leak videos I'm surprised it took this long for something like this to happen. Everything they were doing while ridding together was illegal.
To be fair, the version I heard, (rumor) is that the tires were not slashed at that point, and that no damage was done until after the run over
You've "heard" a lot of different versions it seems. What exactly is your source?

The bikers should have called the cops and filed a report with license plate for the initial bump as hit n run
Bikers escalated the situation by taking the law into their own hands and created even more wrong.
Follow the rule of law call the.cops but don't peruse and harass and assault

So they stopped him again to slash his tires after one rider allegedly wanted to yell at him to set him straight but he drove off?
You clearly have lots of knowledge about motorcycles.
I ride and I have ridden for years now. I ride with a group most of the time too. But we never ride like these squids do.
Like I said I'm a rider, and I completely agree with what the driver of the range rover did.
I'm sorry but you threaten to fuck with my family your going to get fucked with right back.
These bikers are squid piece of shits who do nothing but give riders a bad name, I only love to ride for the sake of riding, fuck this pack mentality.
Also don't know but it is possible that some of these riders didn't see the whole thing go down at the start and only caught on that this guy just ran over a group and then tried to flee, so there is that to consider.
But considering what these squids are wearing, how they are riding, and the way they act. They deserve everything they got coming to them.
Please don't paint all riders with the same brush

Except they couldn't, since some of the bikes don't have plates, some of the bikers have outstanding warrants, and NYPD was on a major cracking down on them.

I was a bit but the rule of law is file a report ASAP.
Riding illegally without plates puts the bikers in the situation of initial instigators.
Th RR driver can claim that he was defending his family from criminals.
Update to this article says that somebody was run over, and possibly paralyzed.

What I have said a few times is that even if the driver of the SUV hit someone, it does not give the bikers the right to stop him and enact their own version of justice. It's one page back.
The issue with the bikers proclaiming that their actions prior to the run over were civil is that we see what happens after the run over. they can't say "we didn't do anything wrong" when we all see the manner in which the guy was stopped and then surrounded. sure most of the bikers could have been waiting for the issue to be resolved, but the driver had no idea what the intent was, he was surrounded by countless bikers.
In the end, the bikers do not have a right to forcibly stop anyone, even if they have hit someone. Call the police and follow the guy if he is involved in a hit and run.
Agree. Worrying that I'm going to get my ass beat for something not my fault is one thing. If my kids were with me and I feared for their safety I would do whatever it took to get away.

No one riding without plates is up to ANY god damned good.
They knew they were gonna be doing illegal shit which is why they didn't have plates on. C'mon...

Definitely.
"Justice"? Is this reality? If you and your mentally-deficient buddies surround and stop my family and I on the West Side Highway, I am going to flatten as many of your spinal columns as possible. Don't want to end up a vegetable? Don't make a law-abiding man fear for the safety of himself, his wife, and his TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.
Also:
1. Riding w/out license plates
2. Reckless driving through red lights and on sidewalks
3. Mob mentality that goes hand-in-hand w/ these groups
Why would any rational person think the RR driver did something so irrational as to warrant the ire of the bikers? Given the biker's demonstrated idiocy, there's no reason to believe the RR driver brought this on himself.
I'm not surprised that these degenerates are calling for "justice" for the now-disabled rider. Birds of feather, fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, etc.
I have already posted this info.
Not sure how I have posted anything that would say I am all for this action either. WTF?

This is fucking ridiculous, these assholes need to have their licenses suspended
See... this exactly what I'm talking about... you now have grouped me into this debauchery, just because I ride.
I can't even

Congrats idiots. Maybe if they just acted like civilized people, none of this would've happened. Now you have a guy arrested and probably charged with some criminal offence, a father and husband attacked and seriously injured, a biker supposedly run over and paralyzed for life, along with other injuries. But hey, at least these idiots got to ride together and swarm the highway like assholes.

I didn't single you out, I was referring to the people on that Facebook page calling for "justice". When I said "you and your buddies", I meant the paralyzed rider and the other riders.

C'mon guys, lay off Bowler. He said he doesn't agree with what the bikers did, some of you just aren't reading his posts. He said he used to be a biker and is selling his bike, so he knows people who ride. He's just trying to find the other side of the story and is relaying what he hears from friends of friends on the subject. No need to attack him for trying to find out what happened.

Their anger is directed at the wrong guy. "Justice for Jay" would be to punish his "friend" Cruz who instigated everything. Them blaming Alex Lien lessens the sympathy I have for them.
No worries. There's nothing wrong with riding in-and-of itself. It's the pack mentality and its associated actions that makes these groups so horrible. I personally like European cars and all the things that make them great, but I would never associate with any of the groups that identify with brands like BMW because nothing positive comes out of them besides negative group behaviors.
Guy in the Range Rover handled it well I guess, as I would be afraid for my life. My blood was boiling just watching the video I can't imagine being the driver with my family in the car. It's a shame no cops were around but I'm glad there is evidence in this video of the bike slamming his brakes on to get hit in the first place. Dumb asses always posting evidence on youtube.

Doesn't really matter if they slashed his tires before or after the initial incident on the video. 30 bikers surrounding your car is intimidating enough. If a bunch of people surround my car, they have to sneeze and I may be liable to run them over. It's not enough to be a pussy and try and intimidate people like that, then cry when they do some shit, like run you over.
As a Black guy, I have to be cognizant enough to not run or drive in certain places at certain times. I'm a decent human and understand people misinterpret things. Who the fuck surrounds a car and not anticipate getting run over? It's not their jobs. Call the police. Get his license tag number. Don't take the law into your own hands. I have a hard time believing you can get 12 people to agree that the driver shouldn't have drove off.

Scum of the Earth. Break laws, drive extremely dangerously and then when one of them gets hurt (for driving dangerously) they attack the driver who has a two year old in the back seat. These people sicken me, and their cry for justice is downright insulting after seeing the video of them beating this guy, driving through red lights, crossing double yellow lines, doing wheelies at high speed. Thank god they have shit for brains because one of them decided to film and upload a video of them breaking the law.
I hope these drivers are caught and locked up.

Of course they won't. That would require they actually learn from this experience and treat driving with respect for themselves *AND* other drivers not in their shitty "club".
Same. This was entirely their doing. Time to own the consequences of stupid behavior.
Reading that the driver was originally annoyed or something about being on the highway with so any hooligans and started swerving at them and pushing his way through and that is when what we see on video started...
IF thats true do the bikers have the right to the road? No, but mane just let them go by and then go about your business, your asking for trouble going the route he did. Again IF that's true.

The amount of people on this thread ready to kill because... "well, fear for my life"... WOW, frightening!
Bunch of Truman and Zimmernan lookalike all over here...
If I understand, the ONLY reason none of you didn't already kill somebody is just because you still didn't find, yet, a reason do to so, right?
Again, frightening...

I don't know what's worse, the bikers or those defending the bikers.
If you're comparing a confrontation between an armed man against an unarmed teenager to a man and his wife against 50+ bikers, I don't know what else to say.
