NYC SUV driver attacked by Group of Motorcycle Riders

With what you know, prove me he is not.... Just go ahead.

I think it's pretty obvious right there in the video. Unless the guy in the RR just snatched a child off the street there is no justification for them attempting to stop the RR regardless of what he did before the video was being recorded. If you witness an accident, even a serious one it's not your job to force the offending vehicle off the road and take matters into your own hands.

According to the reports so far, the RR driver was not cited for any violations. At least one of the douche bags was cited - directly related to the first RR incident.
Sounds pretty cut and dry to me.

I fully agree that the crowd reaction is violent to say the least. But it's a crowd, what do you expect? Still: what do we know about what triggered the incident? The police report says the RR driver rear ended a bike. How did this happen? who was at fault? Did he flee the scene of the accident because of a rowdy crowd?

Its clear from the video that the bike that was rear ended brake checked the RR from about 2 foot off his front bumper.

The very first video that was posted showed a bike pull in front of the (RR) and stop remember? and the (RR) rear ended him..Thats how it happened..The biker was at fault when he jumped in front of them and hit brakes to stop em..lol..What dont you see?..You cant be serious man..I ride bikes too..But i dont go stopping families in their cars cause they dont like what im doing...Then you said its a crowd what do we expect..Seriously? ..Well we expect them to have a good time riding their bikes without harassing people or doing damage to other peoples vehicles , we expect them to stop at red lights and drive on the correct side of the road..You have got to be at least 14 years old to talk like that man... Any Law abiding grown man with a family would never say ..Its a crowd what do you expect?..A mind is a terrible thing to waste...dont get caught up in the excitement of their rally and be ignorant to whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong..This is black and white so far..

Really??? What kind of crowd do you run with? Judging by all the videos the bikers were aggressive before any altercation happened.

Granted I don't know what would possess a biker to attempt to force a SUV to stop in a middle lane on an interstate. I'm sure that idiot is lying in that hospitable bed wondering why the hell he did that himself. No good answer for that. If you don't know how that happened you must have not watched the start of the video. The biker applied the brakes to his bike which slowed the bike to a speed that was less than the suv. That's how it happened. Video evidence would lead me to believe that that fault belongs to biker.

Did he flee the scene of the accident because of a rowdy crowd?

He fled the scene because according to the NYPD..

The video shows the motorcycles converged on the 33-year-old man's vehicle on the West Side Highway in Harlem, and he apparently clipped a bike that cut closely in front of him.
The motorcycle rider suffered a broken leg, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. Some of the other bikers then surrounded the SUV.
"They take their helmets and start to dent his car, and apparently his tires are slashed there with a knife," Kelly said.
The video, shot with a helmet-mounted camera, shows the driver then took off, knocking down more bikes as others tore up the highway after him.

It appears that you identify with the bikers. Don't let that cloud your judgement.

I want to see a Top Gear test of all high end AWD SUV and how well they are able to traverse a pile of idiot motorcyclists and their rides.

(No offense to non-idiot motorcyclists) I have my endorsement but haven't ridden in years.

oh my.... You went full retard on this one.

Then lets circle back to my original post: are you a vigilante? are you going to force a crowd of 30+ bikers to respect the law with your big Tonka truck with your wife and 2 year old? If you are half the fool I think you are, after you shoot one of them, you'll be the one in jail.
I am not judging anybody here (except you), I am just playing devils advocate, because this is not a black and white situation.
