Group ride goes bad

[axa]

I am fairly certain that the video came on after the hit and skip and 23 seconds in you see the rider addressing the prior hit and skip, he and the others force the SUV to stop. The SUV then runs them down and flees.


The mistake the riders made was in that of assuming that a driver that flees an accident has any regard for others. People that are responsible do not flee the seen of an accident, assuming that the wife and daughter was unsafe or stopping would put them in harms way is another falsity in judgment. Most men do not harm woman or children, not unless she provoked them and even then it is not typical for men to strike woman.


I would say the SUV driver was a coward and with obviously no respect for life, the bikers assumed to be totally lacking in chivalry, obviously untrue since the ultimate extreme results left the mother and daughter physically unharmed. The physiological harm would be the result of….well the fathers poor judgment.


I wonder what was said in the car between the two….we must stop or just run them over? I would lean toward the later since they hit one an kept going and then ran two more over to escape addressing hitting the first one.

Boy you sure are giving allot of benefit of the doubt to those who are already committed to the mob mentality.

Just the very thought of a pack ride makes me cringe. When i lived in Japan, there would be a band of young guys, teens really, that just rode around town at nite revving their 2 strokes just to make noise. Harmless really, but that was the Japanese equivalent...

But the culture in NY is far different.
We can't know what happened before the camera started to roll, but if a pack or individual in a pack, chooses to do something as dangerous as bringing traffic to a dead stop on one of the busiest highways in one of the busiest cities in the world, then most bets are off. That act right there could have ended in far worse than just a beating... how about an 18 wheel semi taking out the SUV, family, every bike and biker in the adjacent 2 lanes...

So you say the driver might have fled a previous fender bender? if so get his plate and call the police. Keep your distance and follow him home if you want, then call the police again...
But I'm not aware of any proof there was any contact other than that caused by the biker stopping short in front of the driver.

But stopping traffic on the WSHW? perhaps that biker was no coward as you call the driver, but sure as hell he was the one with no obvious respect for life, that or just plain stupid. you never been on the west side highway have you MJH? How about NYC?

Nah, that biker stopping traffic was looking for trouble, unfortunately it found him. He was the one that got run over wasn't he? If not then its even more unfortunate.
But like i said, you wouldn't find me participating in anything so juvenile.
