I have not condoned the bikers actions, they were out of line also but you don't run over people and "its OK".

It may not be "OK" in the purest sense of the word, but if someone purposely stops my forward motion and a few dozen of that person's cohorts wish to cause me/mine harm, you can bet that person in front of me is going to get an up-close personal view of my transfer case as I roll on over.

This!

I was just telling the wife last night, "the scene would have been much worse if it were me, and I wouldn't have even had to get out of the truck".

The news report didn't say how he got into a crow of bikers. I wonder how did he get caught in the middle of a biker gang, usually when people see a gang like they they slow down and let them pass.

Someone just posted some undated videos from one of the guy's helmet cameras, possibly the same group earlier that day.

Reminds me of pretty much every third world country I've been to.

They are active in NYC, what else would you expect to see? lol

[brutal]

all that riding in those videos and I didnt see any cops. is it me? or were they given free run of the city?

I have ridden with MANY PATCHED CLUB MEMBERS, individually and with clubs and I have never seen the disrespect or thug behavior that I see in these videos. I kept rooting for the asphalt. Is it wrong of me that I kept hoping for rice all over the road?

If only they were in San Francisco.

It would be a treat.

Then by your own definition of "Ok" its not ok to shoot somebody in self defense, right? The video starts with an accident, they happen, the shitheads on the bikes decided instead of pulling over and exchanging info like adults, they surrounded the RR and started vandalising the vehicle. Maybe the guy who got rear ended on the bike would have just pulled over and handled it like an adult, nobody will know. His shithead associates became a very threatening force and the RR did the best he could given the situation. If he sat there they would've destroyed his truck and hauled ass, probably with no consequence's. The bike guys screwed up by posting the video, they think it was cool, typical low IQ gang mentality.
