Here is some incredibly damning video of the douchebag who got run over. You simply cannot excuse this kind of driving and his attitude would have eventually gotten him killed soon enough anyways.
And he never had a drivers kicense!

Jeremiah Mieses or his estate has cause for a civil suit (but given the circumstances may not recover nearly what his family thinks he should) but criminal charges - no.
I don't think so in my opinion. I think that a bunch of bikers were doing a ride and felt entitled to take up the entire highway. Driving past cars in erratic ways not really caring. In the first few second of the video you see Cruz in the lane with the SUV, completely right beside the driver looking in his SUV. You hear the honk of the horn, and then Cruz moves ahead, into the lane completely and hits his breaks. So to me, that seems like Cruz was pissed off - yes, but because the driver of the SUV called him out on his driving and rightly so. You come sideways into my lane, I am honking at you.
I try very hard to watch for bikers on the road. Truckers too. I gave them lots of lead time both front and back if I can. I have members in my family that are bikers and truckers. So I give extra care as I hope drivers would do for my family. I don't see how the SUV could have done anything different up to that point. I think after he should have driven right to a police station. Wife should have been on the phone with police. Something but before the incident I see it as Cruz's fault the whole way with no excuse for his driving.
Deliberately slamming on his brakes on the expressway, what do these guys think what would happen? You think the stopping distance of the motorcycle is quicker than the SUV? Hope these guys have their donor cards filled out???
Your right. I would've driven cautiously within such a pack. If I was the driver and they were slashing my tires, I'd take pics or a video with my camera phone and call 911 on my BT. Getting a license plate # might help. I would let insurance pay for the damage. Not worth to take violent action against a someone for a fender bender or reckless driving unless I was attacked for no reason and defending myself from harm.
The police charged reckless endangerment by the bikers, and the swarming scared the SUV driver who wanted to get away which caused this accident. The media last night showed clips of his grieving family, making him almost look like an innocent victim.
Cruz dangerously slowed down. If I was the driver, I'd be calling the cops and taking a video while waiting for help, using my side mirrors to see if they were slashing my tires. However, people panic and in this case, perhaps rightly so.
Cruz probably doesn't have insurance.
They should ban him from ever riding again as well as some of those other punks with big toys.

Hmmm ... point taken, you are correct. They are not 'bikers'.
Same here, use vehicle to defend yourself and your family.
Stupid motorcyclists thought they could stop a SUV and then do whatever they wanted ? Small bikes vs large SUV ... SUV wins everytime.
The police should monitor these outlaws and crack down on them. Confiscate their bikes. Fuck 'em.
What I mean is that they are just outlawing PUNKS. They don't deserve the distinction of being a 'biker' like a bone fide criminal organization such as the Hell's Angels, lol. Hell's Angels usually respect road laws and other motorists.
Come on people. They seem incredibly concerned for public safety as you can see when the cautiously go through the red light.(yes I am being sarcastic)
Obviously not the brightest guys in NYC.
The real life New York County (Manhattan) District Attorney's Office is not "Law and Order" If the New York Post is correct, my first impression is that I've have made a different decision.
Perhaps in the case of Christopher Cruz,the charge of Endangering the Welfare of a Child is one to be dropped for a guilty plea, but from what I've seen the Reckless Operation charge seems solid.
As to Allen Edwards, I'm puzzled as to why they don't consider Endangering the Welfare of a Child or Terrorizing (presuming New York has such a charge) appropriate.
He deserves no sympathy from me. No compassion whatsoever. He's an outlaw who doesn't give a flying fcuk.
This happens here as well.
I was driving back from up north along the 407 this summer when about 30-40 of these guys came up fast behind us. I was doing about 120km/hr. They passed my car and slowed down to about 80-90 making all the cars need to slow down quickly as all lanes were being blocked. That was the extent of it, but it is pretty scary when these guys are all around you. One guy was doing a wheelie at 100km/hr. People in my car were scared and kept telling me to slow down, but I refused to go below 90km/hr. One biker was about 10 feet in front of me then sped off. Apparently, these guys will target expensive cars and claim a minor traffic accident if you bump them and then ask for cash for repairs to the bike. If you don't pay up they slash your tire.
I have a dash cam in my car, I bought it after a very rude police encounter (expired plate sticker) so I could capture any more incidents with the Po-Po. I would have done the same thing as the SUV driver. In fact, I would have backed up over them when the SUV was trapped.

Are you serious? I once considered getting security cams years ago after my tires were slashed by a stripper's jealous BF ago but they aren't like modern dash cams. Please PM me info or post a link here on dash cams.
I like your suggestion that the SUV should have backed up over them.
If I see a swarm of these menacing bikes on the 407, I'll call the cops. There are some decent people out there though who ride in packs and obey the law.

I was surprised he did not do that. Would seem to have been a very natural thing to do.
Lifetime ban on owning a motorcycle is a suitable punishment. If any of them have been involved in these confrontations before, then a life time ban on driving is even more suitable.
