KFBR392 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I am in no way condoning anyone's actions in this incident but...........I had no idea that being surrounded by bikes means you can run over(attempt to kill) people without consequence? If the driver of the SUV does not get charged for attempted murder than this is a complete joke. On the flip side those bikers asked for this kind of incident by riding around like blind ignorant fools on the streets. Everyone in this situation is to blame. Especially the fellow riders who could not recognize a situation that was escalating. How did cooler heads not prevail ??? Right after they originally stopped and surrounded the range rover you can see at least one guy physically attacking the suv. It doesnt take a genius to see that the driver was in serious danger at that point. Considering the size of the mob surrounding him, and being that they were beginning to attack the vehicle in an attempt to get him out and attack him further, I consider this a clear cut case of self defense. What other options did he have? Stay and potentially get beaten to death in front of his family? That was literally his only other option. Watch the rest of the video. The driver could have run down many more bikers if he wanted. There was one part of the video where a group of bikers drove ahead and blocked off the highway to divert the suv to an offramp which would obviously lead to city streets and traffic congestion... so they could, get this.. get him out and attack him, which is exactly what they did. But the driver could of easily rammed through those guys blocking the highway at 120kmh if he really wanted. He also could have done more damage when he was finally stopped if he chose to simply put his suv in reverse and gun it. You can clearly see this driver wanted no part of the situation from the moment his vehicle was first attacked. You can also see that this group of bikers were out for blood pretty much from the get go. These bozo's did a great job of not giving this man any other choice but run them over. If you back a dog into a corner don't cry to everyone when you get bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it was mention above he could have run a lot more over if he wanted to and it would be quite clear what his intentions were, but he merely clipped a guy that was blocking his path out. To think that you want him charged with attempted murder is a complete joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surtur Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Driver slows and is cautious and nothing at all happens. Believe me.

VancouverCanucksRock Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 That video makes me frackin sick. What a bunch of disgraces to society. Many of them didn't even have Lisence Plates either....it is no wonder the USA is going down the crapter. With putrid humans like this infesting the Country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Frack the bikers, they were the aggressor, the driver of the SUV counterattacked because he had no other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabychStache Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 that's it. who wants to start a Silverado gang to rival their motorcycle gang? who's In? I'm in with my 1000ft lbs Duramax. From the video I would have done the same as the SUV driver, sadly with the sheer weight of my truck I would have killed someone. I hope no bikers start swarming me and my family.

VancouverCanucksRock Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Like he couldn't have pulled over and called the cops. No, run over bikers after obviously causing a situation in the first place. THE SUV caused the situation? Are you serious?Not the biker pulling infront and initiating contact with the SUV? YOU ARE A STUPID MOTO RIDER AREN'T YOU?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabychStache Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Mind you if It were me I would have bounced over the median and left the bikers behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANGO Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I wonder how this would be perceived if he was alone in the car and couldn't plead the....protecting my family case.....hypothetically, would he be getting roasted right now? the actions of the bikers haven't changed.

I didn't even know his family was in there until afterwards. ok, personally yes, I feel the same way but, this guy is up against public opinion, which I think is swinging in his favour but what about the courts. That's, a whole other thing. I guess he is lucky that there was some go-pro footage from one of the bikers. They probably submitted it to the cops to plead their case and it ended up being used against them:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I don't think its fair to say its a good thing that the biker is now paralyzed but his family also cannot say the driver of the SUV is at fault. The biker was simply in the wrong spot at the wrong time and hanging out with the wrong group. If anything the other bikers are at fault for the paralyzed man. that's it. who wants to start a Silverado gang to rival their motorcycle gang? who's In?

JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 There's still one part of this story I don't get. This guy can afford a range rover but not a cell phone? Did he or his wife call the police at any time during the incident or maybe take some of their own video? I wonder if any more info on this will surface?

VancouverCanucksRock Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I saw someone mpost this comment; "From a truck driver: Michael Xavier Kaulbach： As a trucker that would deliver in north jersey and New York I am familiar with these gangs. I can hopefully clarify a few things. First the initial "accident" is part of a game they play. They ride in a huge group and will operate together to slow down traffic. Next they pick out high end vehicles targeting people with families in them, the targets will usually be white or Asian. Then one of the riders will do a " brake check" and stop suddenly in front of the target vehicle causing a minor bump. In some cases they will just roll back into their target vehicle . They will then mob the vehicle demanding money and or begin attacking the person inside. It is their practice to also slash the tires to prevent the vehicle from escaping. Truckers are well aware of them and are advised not to stop. PRAISE THE LORD THAT MR. Mieses CAN NO LONGER DO HARM TO OTHERS!! THANK YOU MR. LIEN!" on this article, and I don't doubt the comment one bit!!! http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/pack-motorcyclists-chase-man-suv-attack-upper-manhattan-street-fender-bender-west-side-highway-article-1.1471585 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magikal Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 For the Silverado gang Gooseberries mentioned, I think you should invite me and Colon with our Fords into this gang. Aside from being the superior trucks the more numbers the better. The eco boost engine will come in handy when there are six bikers underneath being dragged across the freeway. We can be the convoy from hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
