Bikers attack SUV driver

[Smallpotatoes]

I think I need to get more practiced at using the blue font ...

Try throwing in some Latin next time.

Reductio ad fontius caeruleum

I have a Latin word I'm willing to bet you don't know.
Do you know what cornus cornu means, man?

I wonder if he was listening to West Coast Classics or Rebel Radio when the driver ran over the biker?

I nearly had this happen to me. Pulled into a McDonald's in Joliet, Ill. and a biker felt I cut him off when I did it. He confronted me in the drive-thru line, screaming obscenities with my very scared then-5-year-old daughter in the backseat. He wanted to fight. The only way I got him to drive away was to tell the McDonald's drive-thru person to call the cops. The minute I did that he motored off. I never talked to the cops.

I was lucky I was in somewhat of a public place. Had I not been, it could have ended differently.

Moral of the story? **** bikers.

That's what I'm talking about. It was an honest mistake (if you, in fact, made a mistake) on your part and the guy gets bent out of shape.
In your case, it was no harm no foul. The guy needed to get over himself.
The SUV driver made an honest mistake. Granted, someone got hurt pretty badly in the processes, but it was not intentional.
It doesn't give the other bikers the right to vandalize his car and assault him.
They need to get over themselves.

Watch some of these and it's hard to believe some sort of incident hadn't happened sooner

I wondered that too - does SUV man not have a cell phone? Why not keep driving, call the cops and tell them what's happening? I feel like it started with road rage and ended with a gang beating.

The motor cycle drivers could contend that they were trying to stop a hit and run
driver and make a citizens arrest. Would not surprise me that we learn that there
were off duty cops among the riders.

Make a citizen's arrest = Slash the guy's tires, smash in his window with a bike helmet and drag him out of the car.

Yep.

Well, cornucopia plays on the Latin root for horn, and there's some phallic overtones in there as well. So maybe cornus cornu is slang for "dickly ****"?

Honestly, I never took Latin. I just picked up a few things in my graduate training and play around with them (and some others) 'round here.

Inarguable among the sane.

And, like magic:

Later in the afternoon, a second biker, Allen Edwards, 42, turned himself into police, the paper reported.

People need to stop referring to these jokes are bikers. They are ****tard idiots on rice-burnin crotch rockets.
When I first clicked on the link I expected it to be the Angles, Pagans, Outlaws, etc. Not a bunch of dickweeds doing wheelies and stopies.

The only mistake Land Rover Guy made was not backing up and running over a few more of them.

I thought the same thing.

How do they get away with riding dirt bikes and ATVs in NYC? I assume they all live in outer boroughs where they've got garages or, at least, yards to keep them. So how on Earth did they get to Manhattan without being pulled over for riding things that aren't street-legal?

Definitely with Team SUV on this one. From all the video I've seen, it seems like he was just trying to get the F out of dodge before **** got worse. Probably wasn't anticipating the bikers would chase him down and beat the **** out of him in front of his wife and kids.

The only thing I would have done different is I would have headed straight for a police precinct. Sure, you might get charged with something for running over the bikers, but I'd take my chances with the cops instead of taking my chances that those bikers would catch me and exact their own justice.

And yes to the person who said these guys aren't bikers.

NY Post says bikers were trying to close down the West Side Highway -- and had blocked entrances at other spots -- so they could do some stunt-riding. The SUV's offense was being in the way of that effort.

Sad thing is, Land Rover Guy is going to wind up paying these jackasses when he gets hit with a civil suit.
