    One of the bikers stopped short and the SUV driver bumped him. Other bikers slashed his tires and broke his windows. The driver, wanting to protect himself and his wife and 2-year-old kid, drove away, running over a few of them in the process.
    The SUV driver did not intend to injure anyone, but I guess that doesn't make the guy who's in the hospital and possibly paralyzed for life any better.
    Still, that doesn't give the bikers any right to attack the guy.

    Tough fucking shit.

    Watch the video from the start -- this is 100.000000% instigated, aggravated and extenuated by the bikers.

    Too bad he didn't kill about 20 of 'em.

    Skimming down through the comments on the NPR story, here are additional videos by helmet cam guy (deleted from YT because he likely figured out they would end up fucking him bad in court).

    And, I amend my above statement:

    Too bad he didn't kill about 100 of them.

    Scumbags. The reason the SUV bumped the one biker is because the biker cut him off.

    Wannabe tough guys pretending they are a bad ass motorcycle gang. DMX says these guys are pussies :)

    One question, are Quads street legal in NYC?

    If there's an accident, call an ambulance if needed and get the cops to sort it out. You don't smash the guy's car, follow the guy for miles on end, drag him out of the car and beat the crap out of him.

    Not to mention, these assholes put the lives of considerably more people in harm's way, both with their behavior on the road and driving on the sidewalk.

    Maybe now, when they visit the paralyzed guy in the hospital, they'll realize it's their fault he's paralyzed because of their shitty behavior, not some poor driver who just happened to get stuck in the middle of their midlife crisis biking party.

    What flavor were the beverages in the SUV? If they were a certain flavor, then we all know the driver deserved it.

    Also, this happened three days ago. Why hasn't the media obtained an inventory of beverages in the SUV yet? What are they trying to hide?

    At least now you're asking questions.

    No victim of a crime is going to get away with anything on my watch.
