Gotta love this comment:

As there is "nothing the police can do", we should all be allowed to carry weapons to protect ourselves.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Eyewitness News has learned that among the bikers on the Henry Hudson last weekend, were five off-duty NYPD officers.

Sources say at least two detectives witnessed the attack on Alexian Lien and did not directly intervene. And investigators are still working to determine what role, if any, was played by the other three officers.

What is clear, sources say, is that the men did not begin to come forward until late Wednesday, four full-days after the incident.

And detectives are also investigating reports that several others in the group may have been off-duty New York City correction officers.

It appears he was wearing a novelty helmet and a t-shirt.
Earlier reports say it is the guy in the purple shirt from this pic.

I thought the pic I posted earlier showed the injured guy as the one face down-with the PPE, but looking more closely, I believe he is tending to a guy face-up in the purple shirt.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this guy looking back at the driver was this scene from Menace II Society (:38 seconds in if you don't want to watch the whole scene). The guy at 1:30 had the right answer in that situation.

Yeah, staring down the barrel of a loaded gun is a bad day. Talking smack to the guy who's pointing it at you is about as smart as pissing on the face of a sleeping bear. As I am sure we would all agree, avoidance is always the best policy but there are no rules saying the bad guys can't come to you, where you eat, sleep & shop. Stay sharp, carry always.

No, I saw the huge drop and didn't know what was going on. Now they srabilized at my last sales price again. I totally missed the boat.

Don't worry the "boat" will be cak. Only it will be full of feds, investigating your bitcoin buy/sell.
