pretty sad :angry:



if i was driving the range rover i would play bowling pins with all of them.

watch the entire video and also look to see how these pos riders block other traffic in the pursuit. also this was going on for a few hours before with other motorists as the nypd received over 200 911 calls. the video was also edited at the end not showing how they dragged out the driver and beat the crap out of him with his wife and 2 year old kid in the car.

If you read some of the articles on this, the family of the biker that got run over is saying he was an innocent bystander and the driver of the SUV had other outs (I'm confused as to what else he was supposed to do at that moment):



"This man with a Range Rover and luxury lifestyle ? it's OK for him to do something to someone because he rides a bike or has tattoos?" she said.



"It should be acknowledged that what he did was wrong," she added. "He had many other options but he chose the violent one."



Apparently from what I read the biker gang was doing an unlicensed street trick/speed displays in the SUV drivers neighborhood. He called police and the bikers followed him, surrounded his vehicle, at some point slashed his tires. He had his wife and 2 year old daughter in the SUV as well. After they got him trapped a second time they smashed his windoes and beat him up and cut him in front of his family. Don't see how it's the SUV driver's fault, he was doing what he had to do when he felt he was in danger. And I probably wouldn't sit and wait while a group of bikers (or anyone) surrounded my truck and wanted me to get out of it unless the police were there, regardless if I was alone or with my wife and kids.

I wonder what those bikers would have done if the SUV driver exercised his 2nd amendment rights?



Thanks Bloomturd for protecting the city from itself!

From what I could tell, one of the bikers thought it would be a good idea to "break check" the driver and stop suddenly in front of him to get him to stop.



Let's see, I'm no physicist, but a 1000 lb bike trying to stop a big SUV - biker's gonna lose, especially when the SUV driver is feeling threatened (rightfully so).



I'm a former certified MSF instructor and I say hit the gas and save yourself from the pack of idiots.



As I like to say, "Bet he won't do that again".
 
I think it's funny how people want to dress up like thugs, get gangsta tats, and act out a thug-life, until they're hurt and then it's "why are you judging/profiling/treating me like a thug?



I haven't watched the video at all, so I can't comment on who was right/wrong in this particular case; but every situation is different. I wouldn't do anything to instigate trouble with a gang that big, but if pushed to self-defense (myself or especially my family), then every tool in the truck becomes a weapon; and that includes the truck and any actual weapons on board.



I wouldn't treat them all like bowling pins; that sounds like an act of anger, but I'd definitely get my family to safety, whatever it takes. Hopefully, all of that can be avoided, but if not, it hopefully can be done without hurting someone unnecessarily. Panic can easily trump rash thinking..., and shouldn't be punished like an act of anger or aggression.



It's interesting though, at least in SC, you can't use the "self defense" plea if you instigate the confrontation. My concealed weapons instructor put it like this, if you decide to go toe-to-toe with someone, and then the fight gets dirty and you have to use deadly force. Then there's a chance you'll pay for it with a long prison term.

Except for the fact that Barry can't hold a bike up, that could have been him a few years ago....

 
Obama has never known anything resembling thug life...nothing less than an incredibly wealthy, very privileged and educated lifestyle. Take some college classes on social issues and you'll hear about white privilege...he's got it in spades. Is there a joke in there?
 
I don't think that I could stomach taking any college classes on social issues, certainly not if I had to pay for them myself :)throwup:).



Glad to see that Bloomberg's "personal army", the NYPD (which is, numerically, the 7th largest army in the world?) was there to save this guy from this gang of thugs. I'm also glad to see that the New York DA is bringing these criminals to justice (sarcasm; I heard that they declined to charge these lowlifes).



He should have been trying to run them down like Will Smith did with those zombies in I am Legend. :driving:
 
Then this jackass says "He wasn't starting anything" He was looking to see where his buddies were.



I ride. I have NEVER considered getting that close to any cager.

Supposedly a multitude of cops were in that gang and were there when the beat down happened. Not a one of them did anything to stop it.

I have no issue with undercover officers not helping out in an effort to not blow their cover. If a case is significant enough to merit undercover work, it's most likely not worth blowing the cover for something like this. Particularly when the new video shows that a good samaritan from the street had come in the help the driver and chase off the bikers before he was seriously injured.



But--for any off-duty officers who weren't undercover to not get involved should be both a fire-able and prosecutable (sp?) offense.
