"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.
You all probably saw the story yesterday about a group of bikers terrorizing a family on the Henry Hudson Parkway in NYC yesterday but now the mother of one of the bikers is having her say -
You think the driver is at fault? Let me tell you something, sweetheart, your precious little hoodlum got EXACTLY what he deserved! This group of thugs your boy was running with were terrorizing a young man and his family. How the hell would you feel if a gang of 50 or more bikers tried to stop you in the middle of the freeway? Would you fear for your life and that of your toddler and wife?
The driver in that Range Rover, no matter what his income, had every right to be scared of your kid and his crew and he did EXACTLY what he should have in getting the hell out of there. It's not his fault that your kid decided to play road guard.
Un-freaking-believable.
How about a little "I'm sorry that I raised a punk who ran with a bunch of other punks who get their rocks off by terrorizing citizens and while it breaks my heart that my kid got hurt I also understand that it was his decision that put him in the position that caused all of this."

I side with the Range Rover driver bikers definitely count as a threat. What was he supposed to do just sit there?

what has that got to do with anything?.this country had 400 years of slavery
I can see both sides.
#1 As a motorcyclist, I absolutely cannot stand these children and their little crotch-rockets, and the inflated egos they provide. If they actually DID start this whole thing, then yeah...I don't have a problem with the guy escaping the situation, even if these punks tried to block his way.
#2. If the punks didn't start it, and the guy acted irrationally, then yeah...go ahead and trash his car.
I don't think we know the whole story, anyway. Something's amiss.
"Go ahead and trash his car." You're part of the problem.
The trashing of the car is not justified really under any circumstance, so those guys should go to jail. The issue I have is with the beginning part of the video. Before the car tapped the biker and then I guess ran over him, it didn't look like either party was really doing anything wrong until the car tapped the biker.
Didn't mean "harm the occupants" or "wreck the thing beyond repair." They guy mowed people down. He clearly had no regard for anyone's safety but himself.

The video shows one of the bikes brake checking the SUV.

Pity he didn't kill the lot of them, IMO.
Would have improved the human race by some tiny decimal fraction, and made his city a little safer too.

Normally I would roll my eyes at your comment here; but if it had been me? I would have been scared to death. We've all seen these bikers riding in packs, weaving in and out of traffic as they try to get their amusement park ride on their Harley. Even if the guy showed his "displeasure" in one way or another to this group of thugs, they were absolutely wrong to intimidate him and start a road rage attack, which is exactly what this was. They were attacking him. One and all of them. The fact that the guy who was run over had STOPPED IN THE FIRST PLACE shows he was part of the attack.
Had I been armed when I was pinned in traffic (as he was) and they started breaking my car windows? There'd be body bags at the scene.

Bingo. His own safety, with his wife and child in the car, when he is brought to a halt and surrounded by a dozen or more bikers -- the only thing he SHOULD be concerned with is his own safety. He obviously stopped (if you watched the video), but when the bikers stopped and surrounded him? He did exactly what any sane person would have done. He got the hell outa' Dodge. Too bad he ran over somebody; but that guy was part of a pack attacking him.
Damned if you pull out your licensed gun and shoot 'em -- damned if you try to run away. Bull****. That one guy who slowed down in front of him was absolutely wrong. Those bikers should all be put in jail.
