168832, So Range Rover dude was just supposed to take his ass beating?
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Mon Sep-30-13 11:03 AM
I'm sure he would have been happy to let the police handle everything when he was baited to rear-end that motorcycle at the start.

But once they surrounded his car, he had to get the fuck out of there.

If the bikers weren't acting like goons, none of this would have happened.

MANHATTAN — A gang of two dozen motorcyclists bashed in the window of an SUV and pummeled its driver in front of his wife and 2-year-old daughter after a harrowing chase in upper Manhattan Sunday afternoon, cops said.

The driver of a black Range Rover was going northbound on the Henry Hudson Parkway near 125th Street about 2 p.m. when he was swarmed by dozens of motorcyclists, according to cops and a dramatic 6-minute video taken by one of the motorcyclists with a helmet camera.

The 33-year-old SUV driver, whose identity was not released, rear-ended one of the motorcycle riders, sparking a round of anger from fellow riders who surrounded the SUV and slashed its tires, an NYPD spokeswoman said.

The driver hit the gas, plowing into three other motorcyclists in the process, police added. The video shows the SUV bucking as it plowed over the machines and kept driving.

The motorcyclists gave chase — tracking the driver on a winding route up the Henry Hudson and onto the exit to the George Washington Bridge, where one biker yanked open the driver's door to the SUV before the driver took off again, according to the video.

Sources said the SUV driver called 911 from inside his vehicle and told cops he was surrounded by motorcyclists who were driving erratically.

The bikers finally cornered the SUV after it got caught in traffic on 178th Street near St. Nicholas Avenue, according to cops and the FDNY.

A motorcyclist can be seen on the video pulling off his own helmet and repeatedly slamming it against the driver's side window while other bikers surround him and begin to do the same before the video cuts off abruptly.

Cops said the bikers smashed open the SUV window and pulled the driver out before slashing him in the face in front of his terrified family.

The SUV driver, who lives in Manhattan, was treated at Columbia Presbyterian for two black eyes and given several stitches, sources said.

An FDNY spokesman said they got two calls Sunday for a "non critical injury" at 125th Street and the Henry Hudson Parkway, and another for an incident at 178th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue.

Police said there have been no arrests so far in connection with the incident.

but at the same time it's all the rider's responsibilities to ride in a group and not be total ass holes. i've been on group rides and we did some shit that made us feel invincible and thinking back on it it was pretty fucking stupid/dangerous/unnecessary. but driving over people is crossing the fucking line. the only group rides i do now are with my club and other than that i'm solo because a group of people on motorcycles, especially young dudes, is gonna stir up some shit somehow somewhere

The driver of the SUV was at fault for trying to get away from a bunch of rowdy ass-holes that tired to invade his vehicle. I'm sure that he didn't mistake anyone's efforts as valet parking. I'm sure that he was trying to protect his family.

Man I almost hit a biker this weekend when that bastard almost swerved in front of me on the I85/I75 connector. Traffic was dense and moving at about 60 mph. Next thing I know here comes 4 bikes doing 85 mph while weaving through traffic. I had to speed up to prevent this dumb ass from cutting in front of my and causing an accident.

I had to close the gap between the car in front because if dude had tried to make it between my car and the one in front I would have hit him by accident. I couldn't hit the break because there was someone would have hit me from behind. Basically speeding up and closing off his aggressive behavior prevented an accident.
168846, in other words: you were tailgating?..

if there's at least a car length btwn you and the car in front of you, how would you have clipped the motorcycle?

*for the record, the motorcyclist was clearly reckless on the road, but i'm just trying to understand how you deciding to speed up was a solid course of action.

Because even at a car length he would not have made it.

I prevented an accident and we both parted ways and he was still living.

I made a call and it worked. You had to be there. it was 4 bikes and cars were weaving too, trying not to hit them fuckers.

i drive and ride. plenty of experience doing both (in atl too). i was simply trying to get a better understanding of the situation based on what you described.

again, dude was obviously riding recklessly, but i don't see how you would've clipped him if he's:

accelerating at a higher rate of speed
has at car length (or more) to work with

*i questioned about tailgating because you said you closed the gap.

dangerous situation all around. happy to hear everyone made it home safely.

168863, the door touch happened at the end
Posted by MiracleRic, Mon Sep-30-13 11:51 AM
he bumped him in the first minute and a half but i was the rider's fault who basically got in front of the range and braked

then the range stopped...

so did every motorcycle out there...impeding the range and everybody else...

people are acting like dude got spooked...but when you get into an accident with one person and 30 stop and block you in...im wondering why these niggas is really thinking it was about to be a simple exchange of information...

then at the end when they were off the highway...the rider grabbed for the door

Posted by ALmighty44, Mon Sep-30-13 11:26 AM
i've been in that situation. riding like an ass hole in a group and then blaming other drivers for not watching out for ME as i blew past them at 100mph. and i've also been in the situation when one of the guys i was riding with did some stupid shit and we jumped off our bikes ready to do some damage (and come to find out it was the fault of the guy in our group). i've also had people cut me off and then wave at me to apologize.

i'm saying that AS A RIDER my first instinct is to say "fuck that driver" and i'm sure that as a family man your first instinct is to say "fuck those riders". it's blame on both sides. that's why i don't ride in groups like THAT (in the video) because some shit always goes down because riders tend to have that mob mentality.

Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Mon Sep-30-13 11:31 AM
You could argue whose fault the initial was (it was the biker's fault).

But everything afterwards was entirely rational to me. It was obvious that the bikers weren't going to resolve the situation in a civilized way, so he had to do what he had to do to protect his family

The whole thing was preventable. The Bikers should have been more safe in their riding. But that Mob Mentality + Invincible Ego is dangerous.

..while it appears that the driver of the range panicked after the initial incident, its fucked up that he was cut off by a motorcyclists who proceeded to hit the breaks in front of him ('causing the accident).

everything that happened after that is all around fucked up.

i imagine some type of conflict resolution was underway after the initial incident.

it might have spooked the driver of the SUV, but being spooked aint really justification to kill people.

you know how many people in the world are scared over some bullshit?

so if they get spooked, freak out, and run shit over, it's ok?

nah.

he got spooked.

i doubt the motorocycle gang would've wanted to do anything more than get some info - hear a sorry or something - maybe even a punch to the face. but not a murder.

plus there was a child in the car. that would've sobered everybody up.

we saw them driving like assholes...

we saw them impede him from getting out/getting over

we then saw him roll over a couple bikes

and then we saw them continue to be assholes...

and there is no reason to think anything happened before that

what is on yall bird yo?

you can see them pass several cars driving the same way before they even get to the range smh

i'd be pretty pissed too.

he coulda been driving like a straight bitch before the camera started.

honking people out, yelling and carrying on.

based on his actions, he doesn't seem like most level headed individual.

they could've been responding to the clear likelihood he could've been behaving irrationally.

really, you don't just run people over.

we should be able to come to a conclusion/solution with all parties being okay (or able to deal) with the outcome.

i'm operating like that until it seems that i've lost control.

what were the bikers gonna kidnap the child and rape the wife?

at the point where the rover spazzed and bowled the bikers over, there were probably only words exchanged.

i could see the biker smashed the window at the beginning of the tape. THEN The bamma can plow over the bikes and people.

it's like a bitch ass mutha fucka pulling out a gun cause he aint want (too scared) to fight a fight.

or something like that.

you can't just run people over in the middle of a conversation.

Honestly, it sounds perfectly reasonable. They don't call it the "fight or flight" response for nothing. He knows he can't take on dozens of dudes by himself, so you might as well try your best to get the fuck outta dodge.

and all this speculating is just that. You can't say that dude in the range spazzed first or not. From the film though we see cats harassing and then stopping in front of him.

you mean business lol
168900, Exactly. And the rider was impeding him.
Posted by WarriorPoet415, Mon Sep-30-13 12:20 PM
trying to brake hard in front of dude to get him to stop, which he had no right to do.

You're not the authorities, you got no right to force a confrontation or impeded my progress. And you know dude only did it cause he had 20 of his friends with him at least who would back him up.

If he was just some lone schmuck by his lonesome, I'm 99% sure he wouldn't have pulled that garbage.

You put me and mine in danger, then it goes the same for you and yours.

....like MiracleRic said earlier, what's the difference getting your ass beat on the freeway versus a neighborhood street?

In the very beginning of the video, you see the bikers harassing him and his family. You try to get your family to safety, period. You're not gonna reason with 30 dudes already showing aggressive behavior who are gonna be even more aggressive cause they know they are rollin' 30 deep.

the suv. reginald denny should have done it in LA. any time you are dealing with a mob, emotions tend to boil over. if i have my wife and kid in the car and i think we are all in danger, i'm doing whatever i can to protect them, even if it means killing someone. those bikers were in the wrong from the time they decided to go out and ride like that, basically clowning and fucking with people because they felt empowered by their numbers. that's called being cowards.
168910, i can almost understand this.
Posted by Deadzombie, Mon Sep-30-13 11:39 AM
but I'm not convinced that the driver didn't have some existing tension simply because there were so many of them.

i can see being intimidated. there did seem like a lot of fucking bikes.

but an alternative could be to avoid that road. pull over, wait for the mob to pass.

i also don't think it's cool to paint a 'mob' picture of the biker group. just cause there's a lot of them doesn't mean they are looking for trouble. and that they start off 'in the wrong'.

i know,i know. bikers be lunchin. but they really don't want to fuck their bike up so property damage is usually minimized.

just a lot of shit talking.

If you have dozens of bikers around you, and they're pissed at your driving, and your wife and kid are in the car? APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS. No fucking way you're escaping a gang of bikers in your Range Rover. Don't be an idiot, just do what it takes to get your family out of there safely.

Obviously I'm on neither "team" here, as the bikers were assholes but plowing a couple of them in some sort of shortsighted "escape plan" is not only dangerous but also the dumbest imaginable response.

every possible outcome. surrendering to a mob is also a horrible idea, he was at minimum getting a bad assbeating, bikers are hyper defensive/aggressive when someone damages one of their bikes, regardless of who's fault it is, his "escape plan" wasn't so bad, but he should have immediately called 911 and described his situation and not exited into an area where there would likely be traffic.

dude on the bike is barking at the guy in the Range while he's riding. then he gets in front of him and makes him stop. the biker with the camera goes a little farther up but you can still see the guy on the bike is off his bike and on the drivers side trying to get at dude. then he takes off. and i love how they conveniently stopped the video at bashing the window in like that's all that happened.

bikers clearly in the wrong here on multiple levels. having small children myself, i would have done the same thing. matter of fact they wouldn't be chasing me down the highway. i'd have swerved and took em all out.

the fact that my child was in the car would've upped my chances of running them over from 75% to 115% lol

AND i'm in a truck??! fuck that...that's just one of those situations where you just gotta do what you gotta do. i'm not talking to anyone and i wouldn't dare risk trying to reason with any of them....the only reason i would halfway consider doing so is because i'm a woman, but if i were a dude i wouldn't even bother

All of you dumbasses saying you would've done the same thing as the RR driver how did that plan of action work out for the moron? Bottom line you're not getting away in a range rover from a pack of 100 bikes. Sometimes in life you gotta take that L so you can live to see another day. Sometimes in life it's not about right or wrong it's about survival.

I would've been apologizing in my best Kanye interview voice for bumping the nigga that break checked me and hope that them niggas would've given me a pass. Also it's obvious that the RR driver was at the very least honking his horn and refusing to yield prior to the video starting. The bikers were probably tryna intimidate other drivers off to the side and dumb brave RR driving ass nigga was on his "nope, not me, not today!" shit; which led to tensions escalating to the point where they surrounded him and all hell broke loose

You think they randomly chose that 1 RR to single him out and pick on him? And please understand I'm not saying what they did was right, but I'm not getting into a pissing contest with a pack of 100 bikes on the west side hwy just because I should rightfully be allowed to drive in peace
168963, No way of knowing.........
Posted by WarriorPoet415, Mon Sep-30-13 01:32 PM
Which is why I'm only going by what's on the video. And yeah, it's possible they did pick on one dude. Why? Cause inevitably, when you are rolling that deep, you're gonna have at least one asshole in the group taking it too far precisely because he is crewed up.

or it could have been that they were riding in formation and he didn't pull over fast enough for their liking. And yeah, most of us have been buzzed by a few bikes before, but 20-30 muhfuggas? I would have just maintained my speed and stayed in my lane to cats can go around. But with a group that thick, who knows what they wanted.

But we don't know, so I don't think it's fair to make up scenarios and judge on them as if they're written in stone.

Posted by mightnodie, Mon Sep-30-13 02:14 PM
Do you think his reaction that we see on video (running over multiple bikers like its GTA) could indicate that he had a confrontational attitude prior to what we see?
168965, at the very beginning of the video
Posted by WarriorPoet415, Mon Sep-30-13 02:20 PM
we see bikers on multiple sides of his vehicle clearly talking/yelling/confronting dude, then one dude willfully gets in front of the left of the land rover and breaks HARD.

While looking the other way at that.

We then see bikers clustered around the vehicle. I think he was scared rather than confrontational, as I would be if i were surrounded by a dozen angry dudes.

And trying to reason with at least a dozen angry dudes by yourself ain't gonna go well. Especially when one of them braked hard in front of my vehicle cause he was so intent on confronting me that he stopped his bike too quick for even an expert driver to react.

What was said before then, who knows. But 30 on one ain't right any way you cut it.

So yes, they likely "randomly" decided to fuck with this guy, as likely as he did something to antagonize them. I've been mugged and shot at(2 separate incidences) by people I have never met or spoken to in my life. The only "reason" for their crimes being directed at me is simply because I happened to be the person there at the time they felt like committing them.

I've never been in a car that did that.

I would have locked my doors in this instance, but in general there is only downside to locking the doors of a car you are driving. Locking the door provides virtually no safety benefit, but can be a huge liability if you are smashed up and in need of aid and a samaritan can't get inside your car.

this shit so curt n dry its ridiculous

it was overreacting bc dude intentionally stopped the driver and with the support of a mob slashed at tires and more shit

aint no over-reaction in pure self-defense/preservation

the alternative was to get his ass beat on the highway after having a conversation with them...even though all u asshats seem to think he provoked them into the encounter (which is beyond victim blaming of the 3rd kind) but then you have the nerve to act like he was the one endangering people despite the fact this crazy motherfucker just swerved in front of me on a fucking motorcycle

dude stopped...they got violent immediately...Pyern!!

they are lucky he wasn't ragey and started ramming them niggas into the median...

u dont impede someone from driving an SUV on a bike...he was using their numbers to get at dude...CLEARLY...

shit was already escalated...dude was on the phone with the cops too

man, this is ALL the biker(s) fault

169017, Yo they slashed his tires and were fucking his car up.

Posted by dapitts08, Tue Oct-01-13 04:09 PM
do you all still feel the first biker was unjustified to try to stop him from continuing with a hit and run?

to me the logical course of events is kinda of what the bikers are saying...

before the video was rolling a biker gets clipped
mr range rover keeps going
biker surround him to slow him down and keep him from continuing to flee
bikers slash tires so he can't go anywhere

on and on....

not to say any of the things that escalated the situation were right but it really doesn't seem like the course of events start with the tape we see

i don't think the bikers sought out to be agressive to the driver without some kind of incident beforehand

just sayin

169095, pretty much

Let's go....*rubs hands* to the video tape
169097, um...if there were as many bikers as they say
Posted by dapitts08, Tue Oct-01-13 04:36 PM
how is it not possible for him to not have been near the initial incident or better yet not even filming when it initially happened and turned on the camera after dude hit and run

come on... it isn't that far fetched
169098, Oh so all we can speculate on is what we already saw

them in the Range when I want to head out to the West Side Highway and start clipping bikers.

I just assume the people who are quick to place all this blame on the driver have not been around the NYC area and seen how aggressively bikers can commandeer roadways and attempt to intimidate drivers. That doesn't mean what the driver did was right at all and it doesn't mean that is what definitely happened here, but it seems much more logical that the dudes who went out to intentionally shut down one of the top 2 major highways in Manhattan were much more likely to instigate a road incident than the driver.

Further, when he found himself caught out in this situation, and they were surrounding him and his family on said highway that had been commandeered, they could have been in a much more precarious situation than when he was stopped on the side street because there were more of them, and he could have been jumped by 30, 40, 50 dudes instead of however many beat him up in the end.
169103, Civilized people would get the plate number and call the police...

just saying logically imo there is more to it
169105, actually yes it is very easy to do so...
Posted by FromTheGo, Tue Oct-01-13 05:53 PM
Assuming something happened before the video:

1. The bikers were controlling the pace and there were literally hundreds of bikers directly behind the truck. Any of them could have taken the plate number and called police.

2. Much like worldstar videos where levels heads say...why don't you stop recording and call police since you have a phone there. GoPro dude could have at any time called and reported the dude and incident.

3. The SUV came to a complete stop...while the white van creeped by and there was plenty time THEN to take a plate number.

4. After the run over, you clearly see a biker chase the SUV and pull behind it reading the plate number...

5. I doubt anything happened before based off the reaction of everyone after the initial hit. The other two times he stopped after the initial hit, their strategy to cut him off and approach the vehicle collectively was as if they had to get at dude. When he hit the dummy that stopped in front of him, only the bikes behind them stopped. The ones ahead had no clue what happened and dude that got off his bike turned to walk back before dude ran over the other bikes. I can gather from that he thought the situation would be handled and it seemed that dummy wanted to slow the other cars to a standstill so all of the other bikes could pass.

169112, One arrest made (swipe)
Posted by clever79, Tue Oct-01-13 04:34 PM
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57605406/nypd-makes-arrest-after-road-rage-assault-caught-on-tape/

NEW YORK Police have made an arrest stemming from a road rage incident in Manhattan in which, they say, a group of motorcycle riders assaulted a driver in front of his wife and young daughter.

Christopher Cruz, 28, was charged with reckless endangerment, reckless menacing and endangering the welfare of a child.

Black SUV driven by Alexian Lien, 33, is seen surrounded by motorcyclists who police say followed Lien and eventually pulled him from his car and beat him. / WCBS/FACEBOOK
The incident happened on Sunday and was captured on a 6-minute video shared on several websites. It appeared to have been taken from a camera mounted on a biker's helmet, reports CBS New York station WCBS-TV.

It shows a series of confrontations between the motorcyclists and the driver of a black SUV after it had just hit one of the motorcycles, which appeared to swerve in front of him and slow down on the Henry Hudson Parkway.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says the collision appeared to be accidental.

Then, about 30 seconds into the video, the bikes come to a complete stop on the highway, surrounding the Range Rover.

An unidentified biker can be seen getting off his bike and walking toward the SUV as the other motorcyclists looked on.

"They take their helmets and they start to dent his car, and apparently his tires are slashed there," Kelly said.

The SUV then hits the gas, plowing over three motorcyclists and leaving one of the bikers with a broken leg.


Play VIDEO
Motorcycle gang called "rebels without a clue"
For the next couple of minutes in the video, the bikers are seen chasing the Range Rover through Manhattan until about the 4:50 mark, when traffic forces the car to slow down.

That's when a biker can be seen running up to the SUV and yanking open the driver's side door as the driver of the Range Rover again guns the engine in an attempt to get away, knocking over a bike as it speeds off.

The bikers give chase again as the Range Rover heads into the Washington Heights area of Manhattan.

The video ends when the SUV gets stuck in traffic on a street off the highway. As the bikers surround the Range Rover yet again, one of the riders can be seen jumping off his bike, ripping off his helmet and using it to bash in the driver's side window.

A second biker can also be seen running up and hitting the driver's side rear window with his fists.

"He's taken out of the car, (and) he is assaulted," Kelly said of the driver.

Alexian Lien, 33, was treated for cuts and bruises and released from hospital after being assaulted by motorcyclists. / WCBS
Police said the driver of the SUV, 33-year-old Alexian Lien, had his wife and infant daughter inside the car at the time of the incident. The driver had called 911 to report the bikers were driving erratically, police said.

Lien was taken to a hospital where he received stitches for cuts to his face and was released, police said. He will not face any charges, authorities said.

"One of the bicyclists, he got off his bike, and he started attacking the person in the Range Rover with his helmet, breaking the windows," witness Christopher Quinones told WCBS. "And after they got him out of his car, they beat him up."

According to the person who posted the video online, the bikers were participating in an annual street ride in the city.

Kelly said it was similar to an event last year with dozens of bikers, who call themselves "Hollywood Stunts," converging on Times Square.

"This is a major stunt event where motorcyclists from various locations come together. Their ultimate goal is to get into Times Square, which they did last year," Kelly said. "Quite frankly, it wasn't on anybody's radar screen last year. We were aware of it this year."

To try to keep group from heading into Midtown Manhattan this year, police set up checkpoints throughout the city. Kelly said during that effort, 15 arrests were made, 68 summonses were issues and 55 motorcycles were confiscated.
169113, I would have ran over all of those motherfuckers.
Posted by Cold Truth, Tue Oct-01-13 06:58 PM
For starters, the second they started showing aggression, I would have been on the phone with the cops- or my wife, rather, and on speaker phone. I would have turned on my phone camera and had my wife catch whatever she could on camera.

Then, if I wound up trapped like that and they started attacking? I'm going for broke and running over everyone. I'm putting that shit in reverse and plowing through that entire mob in a bad way. Let the almighty sort those cocksuckers out and pray I've captured enough video and audio evidence that the cops and judge (if it went that far) exonerate me completely.

If they can get to me and pull me out of my car, they can get to my wife and daughter and do the same to them, so I'm smashing into all of them until I can get out or until I can reach help.

THEN, I sue the fuck out of every media outlet who chooses not to exercise discretion and puts my name out there, because they just endangered my whole family.

The handful of jackasses in here talking about "reasoning" with those pricks deserve the darwin award they are bound to receive. These guys are bringing out some of the dumbest, most delusional responses ever seen on OKP.

We have visual evidence that the desperado plan has a high likelihood of not working. How'd it work out for this gentleman? So how can you be so sure that hypothetically speaking if he tried to talk his way out of trouble after the break check that it wouldn't have led to a better outcome?

Because once again we have proof of what doing things your way led to.

It took you 40 whole minutes to do exactly what I thought you would..yea putting it in reverse would've been much better. Definite guarantee of success. You should teach a course: how to successfully navigate in reverse through a rioting pack of bikers 101. I didn't know Jeff Gordon graced our presence on these here boards
169117, Who said guaranteed success? I'll wait. No really, I'll wait.
Posted by Cold Truth, Tue Oct-01-13 09:45 PM
Newsflash dummy: once you can tell people are dead set on fucking you up, you can either sit there and let them fuck you up, or fight like hell to get out of there.

Guess which scenario gives you the greater chance of success? Here's a hint: it's not the one where you stand there like a fucking moron while they fuck you up.

I never said it was guaranteed or even implied that it was. It's certainly the better of two shitty options though, but you're a hippy, a bitch, and a moron who would rather reason with a guy while he beats your head in.

Always trying to rationalize why idiotic scumbags do stupid crap like harass other folks. Have any of y'all ever been around people ever in your lives? Not every person is respectable or nice. Some people have NO problem starting with others for no reason at all. You can't always talk things out with folks. I'm convinced all of you cats vouching for those doofballs on those bikes don't have strong or any people skills. Y'all sound like the types that can't tell when a dude is at his limit and is about to take it there. You will still try to talk it out with dude while he's getting louder and louder while telling you to leave him alone. Then all of a sudden, you end up catching a fist to the mouth.

Anyone with common sense would've either driven off like the Range Rover dude did or commenced to running over those fools. Personally, I would've speedbumped them niggas. My car would've gotten a good workout with me going back and forth over them fools. I wish I WOULD try to talk it out with an angry mob. Y'all cats are being even more irrational while trying to come off as rational. I swear, this site is home of the overthinkers.

Chatty and argumentative as hell for the entire post, but once that got posted, they had some other shit to do, their internet got cutoff, had to visit grams in the hospital, etc.

I'd still like to know if they have wives and kids too.

Ain't nobody in here saying that the motorcyclists are not at fault.

You are all fucking stupid if you think those bikers were going to attack the child or the woman for that matter...

If you don't think that range rover didn't escalate that situation, then again you are fucking stupid. That idiot did some road rage shit that riled them other biker idiots up, you don't poke a rattlesnake...

Like someone said up above range rover panicked and that situation turned out like it did. If range rover had made a better CHOICE from the start, then bikers would of passed him by with their bullshit and he would of been alright

You can't even write a coherent sentence let alone form a reasonable, valid opinion based on clear evidence exonerating him from any legal wrongdoing. How about you just shut the fuck up until you gain a minimal level of reasonability and common sense.

Posted by J_Stew, Wed Oct-02-13 10:10 AM
once the idiot biker swerved in front of him and then slowed down, causing the RR to hit him, it was a wrap for RR guy, they were already slashing his tires and trying to get him out(for something that wasn't his fault). mobs don't have discussions with people, they beat people to death or near death. the situation was past the point of de-escalation at that point, he would have been surrendering his life to the bikers to do what they wanted to with it. if you want to go out like that, that's on you.

169177, the car had tinted windows
Posted by Mahogany, Wed Oct-02-13 10:13 AM
They didnt know who was in there

its not about them attacking the child as much as it is not wanting your window smashed in or tires slashed or your ass beat when your in the car with your family.

they busted that window with the child in there...that one dude was banging on the back window had he broke it it wouldnt have been good for the child

either way it doesnt make sense to stick around and see what theyre gonna do. If you got a pack of dudes around you its prolly best to get outta there.

They surrounded the car...like wtf do u think is gonna happen?? Once u do that youre pretty much putting yourself in a position to get ran over.

That dude got hit (and it was his fault) and the riders surrounded the car. Idk how it is where u are but here I think most people know that these crews that ride are real big on protecting their own. It would have been one thing if they hadnt been riding around like fools, but based on the fact that they were I wouldnt take my chances thinking they were surrounding me to collect insurance info

u don't fuck with a mob...

he actually should have targeted them rather than attempting to escape in my opinion

most them niggas wouldn't have bikes and would be lucky to not also be paralyzed

u aint forcing me into an accident...boxing me in...and then expecting me to act fucking civil...what the fuck is wrong with yall?

..outside of the obvious infraction made by the motorcyclist that cut off & stopped short of the range rover, you don't know what transpired during the initial stop.

we have no audio present to detail the convo held at that point to determine anything.

the facts (presented):

two vehicles collided (motorcyclist at fault)
all vehicles stopped to address the situation
the range rover eventually fled the scene

based on the info/statements given by the drivers involved, the driver of the range rover had reason to believe his life was in danger.

the seven videos are cool to point and scream about but they still don't speak to the specific incident with the range rover.

an incident that is still being speculated.

you don't know what happened right before the clip.

you don't know what words were exchanged.

you don't know the attitude of the driver.

i'm still not understanding how you all could think it's cool to plow over people. like that shit is kinda disgusting.

oooh. you slashed my tire. you dead?

you screamed at me while im driving in the middle a pack of a thousand bikes. you dead?

and still.

in the end.

his vehicle was breached.

he got his ass whooped.

and then what happened to the family?

ooooh. "im protecting my famiilyyyyy"

them bikers aint want his family.

they wanted his bitch ass.

range rover guy: took a beating and got stitches, no charges will be pressed
bikers: at least one paralyzed(which sucks, i'm not advocating paralysis) and some likely to do jail time

Posted by MiracleRic, Wed Oct-02-13 11:04 AM
why is some everyday person expected to keep his cool in a situation like that?

are u fucking serious...

clearly aggressive mob is not something u just sit there and wait out...

sure, in the end...they only put him in the hospital...oh but he escalated that...it's no telling what silence or pleading would have resulted in

it's not panicking if you put them in that situation intentionally

i woulda killed them niggas bc
a.) im well within my right to protect me, my family, and my property

b.) im not a psychic and i don't trust obviously indecent people to be only mildly destructive

dude stopped...violence occurs immeadiately...im supposed to know that it's going to end at property damage...what if another car runs into the back of us

u dont do what they did and expect to be treated like rational individuals

Posted by MiracleRic, Wed Oct-02-13 11:38 AM
and you saying he's dumb for going for the pump fake despite not even knowing that he was supposed to be playing man defense in the first place...

that's not fake violence...trying to avoid further violence isn't bitch...it's simple reasonable reaction...

if i'm outnumbered and cornered...im not gonna give a shit how serious you actually are...im going to judge you by what you do...and what they did says...these niggas think they are invincible and are attacking me...im out

how is the driver supposed to be able to tell JUST HOW SERIOUS they are when they haven't done anything except escalate things...


if i point a gun at you...do u assume i'm only going to rob you? maybe if that's what i say...but you should be aware they still may kill you...a mob of angry bikers is a weapon...they pointed that shit right at him and yet they didn't expect him to try and get away, lol

u r in bikes...u dumbasses...as soon as he even sees a serious threat whether that's what u meant to convey or not...you become a target...the fact that he even tried to avoid hitting people shows he felt the threat was real and anyone with any sense would say the threat was real...

im not sure why u keep minimizing the threat as if those bikers were upstanding citizens who were only rearranging your car a bit...they treating your car like it's a street fighter bonus round and he supposed to just channel his sean connery spirit animal calm and be on the phone with AAA and Progressive?

LOL@slashing his tires being no big deal

THE FUCK YOU THINK THEY DID THAT FOR?

So he couldn't get away from them!

What, you think they were going to do a citizens arrest? Hold him til the police came?

NAH

You're either dumb as hell aor naive as fuck if you think slashing his tires wasn't a sign of aggression that gave the driver cause to fucking floor it without a thought as to who was in front of him.

You're so fucking concerned with a mob of scumbags who were closing in on dude and over the course of 8 videos showed tremendous recklessness and ZERO fucking regard for anyone around them that you've actually villified the guy for defending himself against them.

further, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW they weren't going to harm his wife and kid? Survey says.... YOU DON'T. YOU WOULDN'T.

A group men men aggressively pursues you, and you don't think it's reasonable to fear for the safety of your wife and daughter? The fuck kind of man are you if you DON'T?

FOH with this human life is precious bullshit. The safety and security of the people these fucks were mobbing through were of no concern to them, and one of them has been reduced to nothing but a burden to his family as a result. Fuck them, fuck the guy who got ran over, and fuck you for all the bullshit you've said.

Posted by Deadzombie, Wed Oct-02-13 11:00 AM
for the last three days we've been typing each others face off about this. several people in this post have disagreed over the exact same thing you are disagreeing with. in our back and forths, we were never insulting to each other, or berrated each other or even out of each others name.

suddenly, you're in here at the end and decide to refer to me as a spineless bitch. like, aggressively.

i find it fascinating this is how you respond to people who disagree with you. for whatever reason.

im not offended cause, well cause - that'd be me panicking.

instead im going to put you in the same bucket as the range driver.

mutha fuckas who are likely to panic and freak out over something that should be handled with far greater care and consideration.

again.

cause in the end.

the bikers got to the driver.

they didn't kill him for whatever reason and that's actually a good thing.

it's like humanity or something.

based on how you're acting and responding. you'd be a dead man.

Posted by MiracleRic, Wed Oct-02-13 11:22 AM
when they were chasing them...he could have literally obliterated them...

he didn't go out to hurt them...

he realized they were acting erratic and extremely aggressive after already riding around aggressively...called the police and had flight reaction to violence...

if someone is banging on your house door...are you going to sit there indian style and have a conversation with them like lil buddha?

u don't know anything about this person other than...they are reckless, aggressive, and could have 30-50 individuals mirroring his aggression if the people he rides with are anything like him...

so for u to expect him to stay calm, wait it out, talk it out...is not something people should be expected to do...it would be preferable to someone being paralyzed but considering you out here on hi-speed vehicles boxing in a vehicle 5 times your size...that risk exists bc you engage in dangerous activities....not bc "i panicked"

anybody who has ever been jumped knows there's little you do except fight or flight...they are lucky he chose fight...

it could have been a lot worse and it was them that put him in that situation...not his lack of calm...he's not a social soldier, trained and drilled in the art of keeping cool under dangerous situations...

he's minding his own fucking business trying to get away from a confrontation that has already gone unpredictable...

u bring up the fact that he still got hurt and that his family wasn't as if that was a known given fact...we don't see it end...it likely ended in the bikers fleeing the scene due to police being called for the umpteenth time that day

u don't expect everyday people to be crimefighting negotiators...it's equally as ill-advised of running through a group of bikers

do we even know that the paralyzed guy was one of the ones initially run over?

either way...you are having unrealistic expectations of that driver and minimizing the behavior of the drivers as non-life-threatening

Nah, that shit was totally justified. Sucks that those assholes MADE the RR make that decision. That's on them.

If you stop your bike on a HIGHWAY in the middle of the day and want to play chicken with on coming traffic, be my guest. But I'm not going to play that game because YOU feel like it.

Fuck. That.

I'm out. You can go ahead and play in traffic if you want to...

Oh, you're in my way? Sucks to be you.

Like they aint even get a chance to pull over. U couldnt pay me to just sit on the west side highway while all of that was going on.

They took the law into their own hands and unfortunately dude is paying the price for it.

Posted by SoWhat, Wed Oct-02-13 10:55 AM
even if the RR driver clipped the wheel of a biker w/o provocation, the bikers' reaction was unreasonable. for the whole gang of them (or enough of them) to swarm the RR and then follow it through traffic was way overboard. so when the bikers surrounded the RR it makes sense that homie did what he could to get out of the situation. too bad that included running over at least 1 of the bikers.

but the bikers could've prevented all of it by not being rank assholes. even if the RR was initially wrong. they could've just taken down his license plate # and reported the wheel clipping to police. instead they decided to resort to self-help and vigilantism. too bad.

169213, i get that u want to do that...but he was far from the only car
Posted by MiracleRic, Wed Oct-02-13 11:28 AM
on that street that wanted to get where they were going in peace...

he very well coulda been like "man, fuck these bikers...always making noise and acting rowdy...ima stay in my lane and make them go around me"

while that would be dickheaded and not smart...

it's much more likely that he was unaware...these bikes approach quickly and most people's reaction would be surprise and maintaining their lanes...

if im chilling in my lane minding my business...where you want to go and what you want to do doesnt trump my right to maintain my lane and get where im going...

this is my point...once dude felt he had the right to the road and to stop him in it...there is nothing that can be said...

his attitude could have pissed them off...or maybe the number of bikes going fast scared him...that's his fault and he seemed to just be chillin in his lane...

they should have gone around him...and if they wanted to be the harmless asshole type you seem hellbent on painting them as...just honked or gave him the finger...not force him to stop and corner him and then attack his vehicle

his initial fear is the same feeling most niggas get when seeing a cop car on your ass...you don't pull over to the side...you try to go unnoticed and continue on with your day

he did nothing unreasonable nor wrong...there is zero way to predict what would have happened had he not ran thru the bikes

d.) should have calmly accepted the fact that one of the 30-50 bikers intentionally and\or recklessly engaged in an accident with me bc i didn't follow a, b, or c
e.) should have calmly accepted the slashing of my tires and the attack on my windows and doors as a storm that will soon pass
f.) shown more concern for the group that have just aggressively harassed and attacked me while trying to get away

one or 2 of these expectations...ok...maybe...but almost all of them are unreasonable "snap" decisions type of expectations

I'm sure had they gotten the proper permits allowin' them to block off access to various streets to others and yadda yadda, NONE of this wouldve occured.

This sh*t was like FreakNik '95 on motorcycles. Just because a group of muhphuckas get together every year and cause traffic to stand still doesn't mean it's OK.

Posted by MiracleRic, Wed Oct-02-13 11:50 AM
it was clear self-defense...

the things DZ is saying he could have done are unreasonable expectations...

the rider put him in those situations...he tried to get out of it...

someone got hurt in the process...

and then they fucked dude and his property up...

every time someone tries to victim blame...i've poked holes in the "what he should have done"

it's along the lines of chicks shouldn't wear revealing clothes...

dude did next to nothing wrong...so why is he to blame? especially since it's pretty clear evidence who the aggressor actually was...in all the situations

Posted by MiracleRic, Wed Oct-02-13 12:13 PM
especially with a car full...

not to mention if you watch the video...they are passing on both sides...so you got something moving really fast in multiple lanes...

you really just want them to go by you however they see fit rather than risking trying to get over only to hit them in the first place....

being unaware of them isn't a crime and even though many people do get out of their way...they arent obligated to do so...typically...i let them do what they want and just make myself a predictable obstacle

ESPECIALLY when they are passing on both sides...

not everyone stares down their rear view and it's not a reasonable expectation...so if i see them on me im essentially just trying to not do anything sudden

i feel like there is no wrong way to approach it and that it all depends on the flow of traffic

the fact that people keep saying with such certainty that he should have known or he should've avoided despite the fact we have no idea how avoidable it really was...not to mention the fact he shouldn't have to

maybe he could have gotten off...but it's not way a person is thinking that maintaining his lane would end the way it did

intentionally causing an accident is like throwing a punch

someone who likely hasn't been in a physical fist fight...

or probably never been jumped...

if i punch a man in the face...i can expect there is almost zero chance to de-escalate without walking away being an option...

that option wasn't available after they intentionally/recklessly caused the initial accident...slashed his tires...likely had scared passengers and yet there is a legit chance at deescalation...

as opposed to the person than knows how to avoid tense and dangerous situations

defensive driving is about avoiding accidents but like i said...there is no way to tell if he could have easily avoided them....

they were clearly the aggressive drivers...

you can't be to blame for not compensating for others' aggressive driving quick enough

could he have made a better driving decision...possibly?
although why that is the assumption is extremely odd...when they can be seen approaching/passing on both sides from the start of the video

but he made a decision that was (and should have remained) harmless to the bikers and others

169287, No jury would convict the RR driver, I think.
Posted by SoWhat, Wed Oct-02-13 12:20 PM
Which could be why the state has declined to charge him as of now.

The charge would likely be a waste of time for the state and could anger the public. Meanwhile the biker(s) probably don't have the pull to get the state to charge the RR driver in the face of the expected negative reaction from the public. So I don't expect any charge levied against the RR driver. But I dunno NY state or NYC law related to the conduct I saw in the videos or the history of these type of prosecutions in that jurisdiction. This is speculation based on experience elsewhere.

Nah, that's not the base message.

I like how you completely ignore the fact that I have largely focused on the issue at hand- like, 85% of all of my words in here stay completely on topic. It's telling that you completely ignore all of that in favor of arguing with me about me rightly calling you out for the dumbass shit you're saying. You're getting hoed out for expressing an absurd level of disdain toward a man who was in an unimaginably fucked up situation to begin with.

Further, with you being an exception, the vast majority (IE, not all, but most) of those types of interactions are with people who are slinging plenty of mud my way to boot, but people like to pretend that isn't the case. It's an inarguable fact though.

>that shit probably sends people through the roof when you
>communicate like that.
>it's a terrible habit/MO.

If someone is saying shit to the degree that I've decided to tell them how dumb they are, I'm beyond caring whether or not it send sthem through the roof.

>where'd you learn that shit?

Broken home and a horrifically bad childhood mostly, but who here actually gives two fucks about that?

>you think it makes your point more substantial?

No, not at all. The reason isn't that deep. You're saying dumb shit, like a LOT of dumb shit, so I felt like telling you. The end.

Posted by Deadzombie, Wed Oct-02-13 12:56 PM
the points that i'm making are honest.

i sincerely believe that the situation did not have to involve significant human injury.

i sincerely believe that the rover was freaked. and freaked people do dumb shit. so it's best just not to freak.

i have a tattoo on my arm that reads 'don't panic'.

i live by that shit.

the people typing about barreling over more and more bikes to do whatever, i think that shit is sick. bad humans, all of them.

...

the trolling come in when i realized just how unpopular of an opinion i held, so i actively defended it.

my first post was probably my first and most honest point.

"you can't just run people over. "

...

him doing that made a bad situation into a total irreparable situation.

but everybody typing like he made no wrong moves.

i mean...freaking, panicking, is just too human a thing in these situations though...he should not have been in this situation...they put him there...he likely had kids and a woman in his car screaming with some dude going crazy out there...

and in theory i agree...it's the "just" part that made it so problematic...he didn't "JUST" run some people over...he stopped, and was met with violence...and volatility...you can't expect very many people to not go into fight or flight mode...im surprised dude stopped as long as he did...it's one thing to keep your cool it's another to let others intimidate you and impose so much risk over you...it was a lot of them dudes out there and they were going ham...u can't talk down a right once that first molotov cocktail is thrown

"wrong"

is it wrong to mow down biker...yes...

is it wrong to mow down bikers who are clearly attacking you and yours....the context practically demanded action...not words...and he was left with very few...it was truly a lose-lose and they are just lucky nobody lost their life

edit: it's like asking if "self-defense" is wrong...
you don't get to dictate how they should perceive a threat and them bikers especially didn't get to...

zimmerman using self-defense as a cop-out = wrong and a real initial investigation would have likely proven that

but someone like this seeing a threat he didn't create out of thin air or obvious ill will...it's cut and dry unless the concept of self-defense is just that wrong to you
169295, I knew it!
Posted by clever79, Wed Oct-02-13 01:22 PM
I agree with you in that it's not ok to run people over.

But RR was forced to make a decision: Run them over to protect the fam and take control of the situation or leave it up to the mob to decide what will be done.

Humans will always choose self preservation.

The bikers were really feeling themselves and they bumped into the wrong guy with a Range Rover and a lack of fucks to give.

Sucks for everyone involved. But they were wrong. Period.

According to another article in today's Times:

Detectives were looking into the possibility that the motorcyclists involved in Sunday’s episode had been trying to clear cars from the parkway — in an effort to perform tricks and ride unencumbered — when they encountered the Range Rover. The video appears to show motorcyclists at entrance ramps, possibly in an effort to block oncoming vehicles. Such tactics are not uncommon among large groups of motorcyclists in and around New York, the authorities said. “We see an increase in the number of groups who will take over the entire highway for the purpose of slowing it down to allow others to race in front of them,” said Maj. Michael Kopy of the New York State Police.

However, if I were down south with my family and got surrounded in a range rover by 30 white boys on bikes coming at me like it was on, mos def wouldn't have thought twice about flooring it regardless who was in my way.

but I think that's mostly due to them being THOSE type of bikers more so than their race (a lotta bikers are cool in my eyes but not when they do ridiculous shit to inconvenience hundreds of other drivers)

and I really don't think the RR driver's race was important

It doesn't change the outcome or popular judgment of the incident

what race would it have taken to make the judgment of the RR driver any different?

I've read that the SUV driver called 911 to report the bikers being reckless before the accident.

In the video, that first biker clearly cut off the SUV then quickly slowed down, seems like he was trying to stop the SUV by brake-checking it. It's hard to see in the video, but reports say they then started hitting the SUV with their helmets and slashing the tires.

I'd get out of there at that point too, especially if I had a wife and child with me.

I don't really see any point where I'd put the SUV driver at fault. It seems like the bikers were out there being reckless and it got out of control because of them, and now one of them is in serious condition.

169345, but see, here's why the RR guy is likely innocent of everything
Posted by J_Stew, Thu Oct-03-13 10:29 AM
IMO.

he felt threatened, and had to run over those 2-3 bikes to escape, if you notice that immediately after this, he actually swerved to not hit some other bikes that were in the way, and while they were chasing him he didn't once try to sideswipe or ram any of the bikes that were chasing him.

it's a bad situation and there is a slim possibility that after initially hitting the bike that got in front of him and slowed down abruptly, that they MIGHT not have beat him to a pulp, common sense says they would have. Hell, even the dude in this interview talked about the original contact with the bike like it was the RR guys fault when anyone can see it wasn't.
169346, apparently he also called 911 before or during the pursuit
Posted by T Reynolds, Thu Oct-03-13 10:38 AM
if he believed he did anything questionable at any point it's highly doubtful he would have done that

Posted by FLUIDJ, Thu Oct-03-13 10:47 AM
all the lanes on the highway. THAT'S what is initial 911 call was for. It was a non-emergency...just a driver that was pissed off because he was stuck inside of an SUV with his wife and child while these guys were out having fun....

I think that's what's missing here.
Like I said...or I think I stated....both parties were doing wrong...I'm not even defending the bikers' actions as right or appropriate...but it disgusts me to hear folks feel like the RR driver gets a free pass in all of this simply because of the common belief that bikers are always the guilty party.

Nope...traffic is traffic...if there are enough bikes on the roadway to cause a bottleneck, or traffic jam...then the car needs to treat it like any other traffic jam. Cars don't have the right to just barrel through rush hour traffic because they're being impeded do they?? Why is it ok for a traffic jam of motorcycles to be considered unworthy of the same? .... Oh right...because the general opinion is that cars have more rights than motorcycles..

>nah man. You need to give this shit up. nobody likes bikers

the reputation of bikers generally and this gang in particular doesn't really help the state's case against the driver, imo. i think the state would want to avoid delving into those character issues in a criminal trial b/c the jury is likely to have some of those same opinions about biker gangs and may put themselves in the RR driver's position.

i think that issue is better suited for a civil trial w/the driver as defendant and the run-over biker as plaintiff.
169368, I agree with that 100%....

The only "bias" in this situation is a "bias" against mob attacks on people, which is why homeboy got ran the fuck over.

It's astounding how any of you can sit there and just pretend like they didn't surround his car, slash his tires, or that one of them didn't create the accident that lead to that incident in the first place.

Posted by FLUIDJ, Thu Oct-03-13 10:40 AM
just riding SOLO...not even with a group...
Car WILL and DO provoke you...without fail.

Common sense and experience tells me this:
1. The bikers were out joyriding....they didn't go out on the town aiming to bully some folks in an SUV. They want to ride and show off. I'm not discounting that they likely were committing many traffic violations....

2. They didn't just surround his car for the fun of it...it was a response to his initial aggression...just like the dude in the interview is stating.

3. I don't believe they "slashed his tires". His tires were likely damaged and punctured in the course of running over PEOPLE and METAL BIKES.

169372, which video evidence are you referring to though?
Posted by FLUIDJ, Thu Oct-03-13 11:01 AM
because even the main video simply shows a bike that appears to be slowing down in front of an SUV....
so by your logic....that constitutes a threat to a 4,000lb plus vehicle and warrants said vehicle to proceed with running over said bike?!??!??

There generally isn't an anti-biker sentiment in the US towards law-abiding bikers. It's when they do shit like these guys were doing and were trying to do that things like this happens. So when both parties totally disobey the law, which is the more responsible party: the one that broke the law first or the one that followed suit when he saw that anarchy was prevailing?

That's unequivocally false. As a BMW rider we're known for being THE safest riders on the planet, full gear...all the time.... Without fail, i'm routinely the target and victim of aggression by cage drivers. For no other reason besides i'm on a bike.

Just sit there and allow these monsters to do whatever they're going to do to him and possibly his family, because DAMMIT, one of them decided to get in front on him.

Yes, people should remain in mortal danger so as not to harm a member of the group attacking them, because that makes sense.

my issue is with the initial provocation....RR should have called 911 about the illegal bike activity being a nuisance and left it at that....
Instead, he got involved and PUT himself and his FAMILY into the drama on some vigilante citizens arrest enforcement type shit...

When it got to that point of escalation...indeed he did what he had to do...but that doesn't absolve him of any fault and blame in the matter...

169380, IMO it's like the Zimmerman case.
Posted by Cold Truth, Thu Oct-03-13 11:32 AM
They created the situation from the beginning. The videos showing their previous actions illustrate a highly careless, sometimes even aggressive mindset.

That said, since there is apparently a previous incident that was not taped, the only reasonable assumption to make (if we're making any about that) is that based on 8 videos worth of behavior, the safe bet is on Hollywood Stuntz causing that as well. That's really the only reasonable assumption based on what we have seen.

The other issue is whether or not RR had a reasonable fear of bodily harm before he reacted. I know Deadzombie fancies himself the King of Cool and expects every other human being to be an absolute icicle under such pressure, but that's not realistic, rational, or fair.

Unless RR did something illegal prior to this, there is no fair, reasonable expectation for him to "just pull over and let them do them", as has been implied many times by DZ, and since the only reasonable conclusion to draw from the evidence (again, evidence, not experience in the past) at hand is that the most likely scenario is that the initial incident that set the whole thing off was caused by the riders. Either we make an assumption using the information we do know, or we ignore it completely and focus entirely on what we see in the videos. Thing is, both scenarios still damn the riders.

169381, I mean...I really can't disagree with anything you just stated....but.
Posted by FLUIDJ, Thu Oct-03-13 11:46 AM
I'm still on it like DZ kinda...
Knowing what EYE know first hand about clubs like this....those bikers weren't a direct threat to that dude until he took it upon himself to knock one of them off the bike.

Stopping right there....not even going as far as when he ran some of them over.....
THAT single action on the RR's part can't be ignored or glossed over.

RR dude got pissed and took it to the next level of actual assault. Again...i'm not excusing the bikers behavior or actions at all...

I don't think it's a matter of cool, but hopefully will serve for all of us to stop and think before we react or act...ESPECIALLY out here in these streets.

169384, I'm speaking more to that fight or flight point of the situation
Posted by Cold Truth, Thu Oct-03-13 12:16 PM
Another scenario I was in:

I was walking around with some friends on a Friday I was…. 18 or so. Bored nothing to do, let’s get out of this damn house for a bit. There was an incident between a guy from their crew and a gang earlier that day, and they were talking about it all day. Anyhow, we see a car drive by staring at us. One of my friends recognized them, and they either recognized my friends or just wanted to flex because they ice grilled Hoard © Mac 10. They busted a U and came back to us. My friends were hyped. YOU GUYS READY!??!? WE’RE GONNA BEAT THESE GUYS DOWN!

Me? Great. Not this shit again. Whatever.

So the car pulls up, and 4 dudes get out. One pulls a knife, and he and another from the drivers side head my direction.

So what do I do? I walk up and crack the dude with the knife, and lit his ass up before lighting up the other guy. I kept them at bay for a minute until their big dude came at me, and I put his ass down. I kept getting pelted with rocks, but I said fuck it and stood over the dude I put down like WHAT? Next thing you know, I get hit hard as hell on the back of my head. It turned out to be a cement block from the bitch throwing rocks at me. My“friends”? Just standing off to the side, frozen. I got stabbed in the arm. My friends had the nerve to tell me I started it.

Huh? I’m sorry, 4 guys *they* had some kind of beef with see us, hit a u turn, floor it in our direction, get OUT the damn car, one pulls a knife, and two come straight for me? Nah, I’m swinging. That’s not the time for diplomacy. The body language and physical actions are crystal clear at that point. I made the only choice that seemed reasonable in that situation based on the high likelihood that *not* fighting wasn’t going to be an option. Who knows how that would have turned out if I hadn’t went “crazy” as they said? Shit wasn’t my fight to begin with, and while these punks were busy talkin that talk with no balls behind it, I dealt with their beef because talking isn’t something that comes to mind when someone approaches me with a knife with another guy in tow.

Sometimes you just do what you gotta do. We don't really know what that first spark was, but what I'm saying is everything after shows a guy with shitty options.
169385, I'm sorry that's your experience, but it's not mine.

My personal road rage is only ever directed at people who knowingly or through their ignorance break the laws of the road to serve their own self-interest, regardless of vehicle. That said, I don't think this incident, in which this bike crew totally and illegally shitfucked the laws of the road, should be taken up as a "bikers rights" case. If some no-brakes idiot bicyclist ran a red light and got clipped by an oncoming car, I don't think the BNB crowd would be rallying around the cyclist as a "bike's rights" incident.

True, but all the advantages and protection the size of a car has, they don't have the agility and acceleration of a bike, especially these sorts of bikes. Stopping short, the acceleration and pursuit ability during the chase...that's a huge damn weapon.
169386, it does though.
Posted by SoWhat, Thu Oct-03-13 10:21 AM
if the RR driver is charged and goes to trial, i expect he'll use a self-defense and defense of others defense and argue that he was justified in running over that biker b/c he feared he and/or his family would be battered by the biker gang. if so, the issue there is the reasonability of his belief that he and/or his wife and children were about to be battered by the gang. the biker gang's conduct before the RR was surrounded would be relevant. if based on the gang's conduct the driver reasonably believed that gang would batter him and/or his wife and children and that they would suffer great bodily harm and potentially death, then a jury is likely to find that the driver was justified in running over that biker to get out of the situation.

i'd expect the state to argue that his belief wasn't reasonable b/c he didn't observe the ran over biker doing x, y or z specifically (unless the driver DID see that...). but the defense would probably counter that the driver couldn't reasonably have been expected to know which biker had done what and that it was reasonable for him to see the gang as an entity and that since he didn't know who in the gang would do what he was justified in his belief that any of them, including the ran over biker, could've battered him and/or his wife and children b/c he didn't know what that biker would do. the defense would do all it could to put the jurors in the place of that driver - surrounded by angered bikers w/his wife and children in the car - what was he supposed to do? wait and see what the angry mob was going to do?

anyway: the gang's conduct prior to the biker getting run over is relevant. LOL
169387, good post.
Posted by Deadzombie, Thu Oct-03-13 10:24 AM
169388, if i were the state i'd try and keep that video out
Posted by SoWhat, Thu Oct-03-13 10:29 AM
b/c even though the gang's conduct prior to the run-over is relevant, it's only relevant if the RR driver observed it or otherwise knew about it BEFORE he ran over that biker. if the driver didn't know about the gang driving up on sidewalks and running red lights all over NYC then it's not relevant.

however, the state successfully keeping that video out doesn't torpedo the defense case, IMO. b/c the driver observed plenty conduct from that gang that could give rise to a reasonable fear that he and/or his family would be battered and suffer great bodily harm or death after the angered biker gang mob surrounded and attacked the RR.

we got a first hand account of what happened.

that first stop short everyone was talking shit about.

because the recording vehicle was going faster than the subjects, it only seems like a stop short.

in reality the recording vehicle sped up and only made it seem like the bike in front stopped short.

that's when the accident happened.

bikes approached the truck to start the conversation.

the SUV just rolls over people.

nah. man.

yall aint cool.

The biker looks back at the suv over his right shoulder before he stopped short. Then slows down and starts looking behind him to the left like he's trying to talk/signal to someone.

That's wreckless driving. He saw the SUV on his ass and didn't care.

but that's quite an imagination you got there.

i think the bike in front was going sort of slow, and the SUV sped to make contact with the back tire. that's aggressive.

yes, the bikes were bringing traffic to a halt so they can do the parade thing, and that's normal, apparently.

Police have stated that they have had problems with bikers trying to clear roadway so they can race in the city. Only thing is, they have no permits and no right to do it.

So that really holds no weight.

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/10/01/nypd-suspects-sought-in-attack-on-suv-driver/

As 1010 WINS’ Carol D’Auria reported, Kelly said Tuesday that the bikers caused other problems besides the road rage incident. A total of 200 people complained to police Sunday that the bikers were being reckless on Manhattan streets, Kelly said.

The cyclists caused plenty of problems last year too, Kelly said.

“Last year, they came over 1,000 cyclists to be somewhat disruptive,” Kelly said. “They rode on the sidewalk – that sort of thing.”

In order to prevent the group from heading into Times Square this year, police set up checkpoints throughout the city. Kelly said during that effort, 15 arrests were made, 68 summonses were issued, and 55 motorcycles were confiscated.

That's the thing: Sure, we can look at it and say well, if he had that option at some point, he should have taken it.

The problem is, he has no legal obligation to do that. He didn't create the scenario, they did. Again, the videos show conclusively that they drove in a wreckless manner, so that's the fair, reasonable assumption.

So to assess wrongdoing on his part for simply not bowing down, well, that's a pretty fucked up burden to put on him if you ask me.

no...nowhere is this socially acceptable behavior except entitle bikers

u are in a bike...they are in cars...just being on a bike puts you at extra risk...they should be glad he didn't have malice cause he could have easily killed them niggas if he was raging rather than trying to get the fuck outta there

in a mall riot...it's mulitple exits and im on foot and can find my way through without causing myself or anyone harm...im not about to just chill if things around me can put me in danger or if they make me feel like i could be in danger...ima do what i gotta do to get me and mine outta there period

but these are vehicles and there's typically only one way out (or few....based on the video one)...and that's forward...we're acting is if just pulling over is really THAT FUCKING SAFE...he not only had the right to the road...but pulling over would have been equally as risky...why assume thrill seeking lawbreakers are going to just let you pull over without serious/dangerous consequences?

u are giving them the benefit of the doubt and putting the burden of him being on that road on him rather than the bikers...they could have let him go...blocked traffic like they were doing at other places...and continued their fun...but no...they forced him into an accident and then got violent...

he literally did NOTHING wrong...pulling over seems safer in hindsight...but i wouldn't wanna be stuck in that shit bc

A.) it's illegal and i dont fucking have to

B.) I'm late for brunch bitch

C.) You are inconveniencing me and putting me at risk so you can treat the road like your personal playground...

at the beginning of the video, the biker 'stops short' and the SUV taps the back motorcycle tire, causing something to happen and everyone to come to a complete stop.

if and only if at that point, the bikers' immediate response was to take the helmets off and start smashing windows, or even if they tried to forcibly gain entry to the vehicle, i would be in full support of the SUV driver making a hasty exit while running over a human or two.

from what i could tell, it looked like they were all talking about it, approaching the window.

Posted by Deadzombie, Thu Oct-03-13 11:17 AM
the car drove quite a ways, seemingly just fine.

plus what kind of shit was talking right after the fender bender?
169419, A few things
Posted by B9, Thu Oct-03-13 11:25 AM
Setting aside when the slashed tires happened (though it's hard to, since the flats were why he ultimately had to to stop and it's difficult to believe these guys were good enough to slash his tires as they were chasing him), the guy that got hit seemed to be fine after the initial incident. The SUV pulled over and everything was kosher, but the way the bikers were surrounding his car set him off. Why even do that? If you have someone's plate, and they flee the scene of an accident, that's a felony. Why don't the biker's just call the cops on the guy rather than vigilante up and surround his car like they did? Is it possibly because, shocker, they were breaking the law and afraid of the cops themselves? If that's the case: welcome to Thunderdome, don't cry over the rules you set.

Posted by Chanson, Thu Oct-03-13 11:23 AM
They were blocking traffic and acting crazy.

The light was green and they were there intentionally blocking cars from passing, having their bikes in the intersection and not moving.

I'm now realizing it's the same group of riders.
169422, ^^^ Chanson and Cenario were both there

Posted by Cenario, Thu Oct-03-13 01:17 PM
and were 5-6 cars from the intersection and didn't realize they weren't just passing through when towards the end the bikes got extremely loud and maaaad smoke started rising. Thats when we were like oh, these negroes doing tricks now smh.

That's when the cars in the front started really getting irate and honking.
169426, I’m just going to share some experiences of my own
Posted by Cold Truth, Thu Oct-03-13 11:57 AM

For what it’s worth, I suppose.

I was 15, in a foster home. The gang kept beating down one of my foster brothers and punking him. One day, three of them hit me up. The zeroed in on my backpack because I pieced it up. I told them what they name was, and it was B-Boy crew I was with at the time. So they said fuck me, fuck my crew, and I said fuck their gang. So they got all jumpy and big mouthed, and one pulled out a screw driver. I picked up my bike and said what’s up then? A neighbor came out of his house and started yelling and they left. I followed them around the corner to finish it, because I know this won’t be the last time. May as well let them know I’m not a punk.

Guess what? They all backed down. All they said was “we’ll see you later.”

So they came to my house a couple hours later, but with 5-6 cars full of ese’s. I saw weapons galore- bat, a few guns, even a chain (yeah, I know, a fucking chain, on some b-movie shit).

Sooooooooo I said, uh… FUCK THAT. I hopped out the back window and bounced. I waited, ran back in and grabbed a ginsu, hopped on my bike and bounced. I came home and my foster parents had returned. They were flipping out. What the hell was I thinking? They had to move me, and truth be told that was the only good home I had for my tour of foster care. It got fucked up over some punk ass cholo’s who tried to flex.

Could I have walked away? Yeah. That’s what everyone said, SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO BE A TOUGH GUY???

Except, my only choices were to take a stand or let them punk me out like my foster brother. That was it. There were no other options. It wouldn’t have ended with that incident. It would have continued. I allowed that situation to happen at a different school in 8th grade, and that got me nowhere, so why do that again? I’d rather not live in fear. I’d rather put a beating down on three guys and serve notice. At least then, the target on my back comes with an ounce of respect and perhaps a little caution. Otherwise, it’s open season.

The point is, in a tense situation like that where you’re faced with seemingly nothing but bad options, it’s easy to sit back and say YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS!!! These are split second decisions. Sometimes, people go for broke not because they panic, but because they are faced with trying to make the best of a bad situation.

"Our plan last Sunday was to celebrate our wedding anniversary by having a nice family day out with our two-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, instead, we were placed in grave danger by a mob of reckless and violent motorcyclists.

Our sympathies go out to the injured motorcyclist and his family. However, we were faced with a life-threatening situation, and my husband was forced under the circumstances to take the actions that he did in order to protect the lives of our entire family. Our fear for our lives was confirmed when the incident ended with the ruthless and brutal attack on my husband, me, and, most importantly, our two-year-old child. We know in our hearts that we could not have done anything differently, and we believe that anyone faced with this sort of grave danger would have taken the same course of action in order to protect their family.

We would like to thank the brave citizens who risked their own safety to intervene on our behalf. They truly helped save our lives and prevented my husband from suffering further injury. We also appreciate and are moved by the outpouring of love and support so many have expressed here in New York and around the country.

We would ask that the public and the media to respect our privacy at this difficult time and allow my husband to recover from his injuries. From here on forward we would ask that any further inquiries regarding this unfortunate incident be directed to our lawyers Nicholas J. Massimo and Frank C. Panetta."

169431, Gloria Allred is representing the dirt biker, oh brother.
Posted by gusto, Thu Oct-03-13 01:31 PM

Meanwhile, famous lawyer Gloria Allred, who has represented clients in lawsuits against Michael Jackson, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carlos Danger, will reportedly represent the dirt bike rider who was severely injured by Lien. NBC New York reports that Allred has been retained by the family of Edwin Mieses, who is possibly paralyzed after he was run over by Lien. (Asked this morning to confirm her involvement in the case, Allred told us, "No comment today.)

Dozens of motorcyclists rallied outside St. Luke's Hospital last night in solidarity with Mieses, whose wife told DNAinfo, "This is a family. This is not a gang." Another biker told NBC New York, "We're not savages, we're not animals. We're just average people that love to ride." Here's video, via Opposite Lock, of some of the motorcyclists riding through the city; skip to the one minute mark:

Posted by daryloneal, Thu Oct-03-13 01:04 PM
them all pass from jump.

Doesn't matter how long it would have taken, I'm not driving in the middle of a HUGE pack of riders. That's just asking for an accident at the very least.

But if I would have made the decision he made, well... I would have made the same decision he made.

i.e. Eff them dudes, I'm protecting my family and doing what I need to in order to get up out of a bad situation.

It's just a very unfortunate situation overall.
169434, it looked like he was in front of them though
Posted by MiracleRic, Thu Oct-03-13 01:08 PM
i don't think he rode down the middle of them but that's just judging by the fact that almost all the video was done from behind the vehicle...


they passed HIM to stop him

i've ridden through bikers before simply bc i didn't even see them coming...i hear them coming and i just slow down a lil bit and wait for them to pass...

i aint never had them try and STOP me before...which is what they probably were trying to do to block off further traffic
169435, If that was really the case, eff all of them (the bikers).
Posted by daryloneal, Thu Oct-03-13 01:11 PM
169436, yeah, I just watched it again. It's their fault.
Posted by daryloneal, Thu Oct-03-13 01:24 PM
There was nothing that he could have done to prevent the start of that altercation.

He was surrounded and dude stopped short on him. He was probably distracted by all the commotion.

And then to have that many niggaz stop and look at you like "WTF".

Nah son.

He ain't built for that.

Not many people are.

He tried his best to get ghost and protect his family.

169438, for those wondering why RR got off the highway
Posted by gusto, Thu Oct-03-13 01:25 PM
he was literally like 5 blocks from the 34th precinct.
im assuming that was where he was trying to get to.
wasn't so unreasonable to think he woulda made it.

and for those that think #teamRR is anti-bike, I don't think that's the case.
without this video the sides would be more even.
this video just makes it easy to be #teamRR in this event.


169439, figured that was the case.

Apparently, I'd have some legal protection on my side if I was in the driver's position.

I've been in situations driving through Philly where a bunch of unruly dudes are blocking the street, mean-mugging and slapping my car & shit. If it came down to it (If I felt my personal safety was threatened), I was ready to hit the gas on those dickheads. Glad to know I'd have some laws supporting me.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/04/edwin-mieses-motorcyclist-revoked-license-criminal-record_n_4044595.html?ir=New+York

The motorcyclist run over by an SUV at the start of a dramatic chase that ended with the driver being beaten in front of his family was unlicensed in his home state, according to multiple reports.

Edwin Mieses, who was reportedly paralyzed by SUV driver Alexis Lien on Sunday, apparently never applied for a motorcycle license in Massachusetts and has not been licensed to drive in the state since 1999, according to police and driving records cited by CBS New York. His right to drive in Massachusetts was revoked until 2017.

As recently as May, he was arrested in Andover, Mass., for driving with a revoked license, according to the Associated Press.

In 2001, he was sentenced to jail for driving without a license, according to court records reviewed by The Boston Herald.

However, Mieses' run-ins with law enforcement go beyond traffic violations: His criminal record is six pages long and includes convictions for drugs, guns, attaching plates and destruction of property, The Herald notes.

Mieses, 32, remains in St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan. His wife has said he won't walk again.

After a group of motorcyclists surrounded a Range Rover driven by Lien and his wife, Lien ran over Mieses in an attempt to make an escape. As seen in a widely circulated video of the incident, the bikers then chased the SUV, which also contained Lien's 2-year-old daughter. Eventually, when Lien was stopped by traffic, his tires were slashed, his windows were smashed, and he was pulled from the car and severely beaten, according to police.

Only one biker has so far been charged in the incident. Christopher Cruz, 28, allegedly brake-checked Lien on the Henry Hudson Parkway, setting in motion the dramatic chain of events. He was hit with a bevy of charges on Tuesday, including reckless endangerment, reckless driving, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing.
