NYC SUV driver attacked by Group of Motorcycle Riders

[johngraves2]

This is crazy, sounds like they were pissed cause he called the cops, then got even more mad after he was trying to escape them and ran over a few bikes, that would be scary stuff, one reason to be armed though.

Well considering that the other thread doesn't say anything about the subject in the title I'd give him a pass. I didn't even read the other thread until you just linked to it here.

I watched the video yesterday.... I think the Range rover guy is at fault. There is supposedly more to this video since a lot of the riders were wearing go pros and one or more guy filmed the beginning of the incident when the RR guy rolled down his window and told the group that he called the cops on them as they were passing him.... Yeah: really smart move! Then he clipped one bike... Even smarter move. Imagine your reaction if the same guy parked his RR in the middle of a shooting range, rolled down his window and told you he just called the cop on you because he does not like what you are doing (or worse: he called Bloomberg on you!)...

Bad analogy. You aren't doing anything wrong or endangering anyone's life by shooting at a range. Riding quads and dirtbikes, stunting on the free way is illegal. Brake checking people is dangerous and stupid. Whether you like it or not when someone calls you out when you are a shithead is your problem. Those attention whores got what they deserved. It's pretty obvious to me that the guy panicked and was trying to flee when he ran over the genius that tried to block a Rover with a motorcycle. The sheer stupidity of the bikers prevents me from having an ounce of pity for them.

One of the motorcycle riders struck by Lien may be left a paraplegic, the report said.

“My son just got out of surgery. Now we have to contend with his situation that he will never walk again,” the injured man’s father, Rev. Edwin Mieses posted on Facebook, The Daily News reported.

Well, judging only by the video, your thug son was playing stupid games with stupid people in a stupid place. Maybe he shares some of the fault for what happened to him.

As of this point, one rider has been arrested and charged with several offenses. The report didn't say anything about the Rover driver being at fault or causing the incident. I'll lean towards the idea this was thug behavior at it's worst until more facts are available.

Didn't know you were a RR driver. I think it is a great analogy! See? it's all about "perspective". What you describe is vigilante justice and this is why people get killed.

How do you know these bikers where in any way performing stunts? no, you just assumed.... Are you a law officer and will you interfere with their right to face plant on the highway? Leave them alone.

Same thing with a bunch of AR 15 members shooting somewhere on some public land and not bothering anybody else. Because we are group, some vigilante will see us as some crazy white supremacist militia.... Perspective.

ruthabagah, I'm looking forward to your explanation of just why the bike riders attacks were justified. Because from my viewing, they are all lucky that they aren't dead or paralysed.

FYI-see other thread but the rider of the MC who cut off the range rover was just "charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing in the first of two harrowing confrontations Alexian Lien had with a pack of bikers when he and his family were out for a Sunday drive."

How do you know they were not? What did the RR driver did to start the confrontation? Do we have enough information to make a determination as to who is guilty here?
