How can anyone feel sorry for the motorcyclist who got run over. He should be blaming his fellow riders for being complete douchebags IMHO. Especially the guy who pulled in front of the SUV and hit the brakes and the other who tried to open the door which caused the driver to panic and drive away. What did they think was going to happen?Lien, who is reportedly the director of the e-commerce firm Skrill.com, was rushed to Columbia University Medical Center, where he received stitches to his face and chest and had two black eyes, the report said. Jeremiah Mieses, one of the motorcycle riders struck by Lien, may be left a paraplegic, the report said.
“My son just got out of surgery. Now we have to contend with his situation that he will never walk again,” the injured man’s father, Rev. Edwin Mieses posted on Facebook, The Daily News reported.
In hindsight, he should not have left the highway. He should have been doing like 50km/hr or so, on the phone with 911 and driving over whoever was on the way.I'm guessing he pulled off looking for a cop. If he hadn't seen a cop on the highway - he was probably hoping to find one on the city roads.
Yeah, I never would have left the highway. Call 911 and give them play by play of your location until the cops could set up a road block.In hindsight, he should not have left the highway. He should have been doing like 50km/hr or so, on the phone with 911 and driving over whoever was on the way.
I don't think so since some of the bikers were White and the man who was viciously assaulted was Asian American.i wonder if there would be a different reaction if the bikers were white hells angels and the driver was mexican or black...
wow cant we all just get along...smhI don't think so since some of the bikers were White and the man who was viciously assaulted was Asian American.
Run the bastards over. Anytime I get threatened in a car, I will use my car as my fightback weapon. Deal with the consequences later. If someone threatens your life, kill them before they kill you.
I have to agree with you. However, if those bikers were armed too, they would have killed the driver a la mob hit (shot while trapped in car - it's a common method).This is one of those cases where he would have been better off armed.

In fact, proof they're idiots, they posted the video on YouTube which will only help convict their biker pal.
The motorcyclistSo a motorcyclist was actually run over, or was it his bike that got run over?
How did he run over a motorcyclist who was on his bike? (I didn't look at the video closely).The motorcyclist
NYPD are saying that Christopher Cruz was entirely responsible due to his erratic operation and deliberate slamming on of his brakes.I see this incident as a combination of distracted driving causing a near miss, which later caused a collision and altercation
I'm glad the punk kid is being charged for doing something really dumb and the other guy had the sense to turn himself in. On the other hand, I don't think they would just randomly choose a car to pick on. Something pissed off the bikers enough to slam on the brakes and box the SUV in.NYPD are saying that Christopher Cruz was entirely responsible due to his erratic operation and deliberate slamming on of his brakes.
They have no plans to bring any charges against Mr. Lien.
Further, a second suspect Allen Edwards, has turned himself into police he smashed in to rear seat window next to the two-year old.
No doubt some minor traffic incident. People rage out over really stupid things and in group like that pack mentality turns any minor incident into a pissing contest.I'm glad the punk kid is being charged for doing something really dumb and the other guy had the sense to turn himself in.

People are just not considerate of others any more. Could be caused by stress, being self-centred, or just hurrying along and not considering others. Basically, I own the road so get the hell out of the way or you're behind me so who cares. It's amazing how it seems that people are just not taking a second or two to think before they do something so extreme. Paralysis is a huge price to pay for doing something dumb and obnoxious.No doubt some minor traffic incident.

I bet some of the bikers are otherwise nice guys who got caught up in the event and can't believe what they have done and are now criminally guilty of.
Mob mentality takes over and feeds on itself.
(Don't think I am justifying it they should all go to jail, just explaining how things escalate to outrageous behavior)
