Man arrested after a gun-toting motorcyclist was seen on video assaulting a mother in Philadelphia
Cody Heron, 26, has been charged with possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and aggravated assault, the district attorney said.
Heron is accused of assaulting a woman and her two children after the woman's car was hit on the driver's side Sunday night near City Hall, prosecutors said. He was among a large group of ATV, motorcycle and dirt-bike riders in the area, officials say.
Video of the incident captured a rider kicking in the rear windshield of the womans car, spraying shattered glass all over the two children, ages 2 and 5, in the back seat, according to prosecutors.
A firearm can be seen falling from the defendants waistband before he retrieves the weapon and threatens the victim with it after she confronts him on the street," the DA said. "Heron head butts her during the confrontation before returning to his vehicle and fleeing the scene.
It was not immediately clear Wednesday if Heron had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)...investigations into, or charges brought, for the illegal traffic activity by a horde of people that resulted in this assault?

(25,355 posts)choose her car? Was there a bumper sticker on it that he didn't like? Or did she just look like a vulnerable person that he could bully? What a POS. Hope they throw everything at him.

(68,889 posts)These groups of dirt bikers are driving around in packs and harassing drivers in my town, too. It's difficult for the police to stop it.
My theory is that COVID caused a lot of young people to drop out of school. Now they're 17-18 years old, they haven't been in school for several years, and they don't have jobs. These are the kids who are flash-shoplifting, attacking people, and driving around in packs.
It's not "liberal" District Attorneys. It's the result of the pandemic.

I like that this is just an aside, no matter, but hey, lots of folks seemingly, illegally riding ATVs and dirt bikes on the roads but nobody cares. Yay laws! Or something.

(68,889 posts)I've heard that up to 30% of the children in my city's school district never returned to school after the COVID shutdown in spring 2020. These are children of families who didn't have access to broadband and so their kids couldn't easily connect to virtual school.
Thousands of 13-15 year old boys who dropped out of school in 2020, they're now 16-18 years old and haven't been in school or worked for years. Crime wave.

(68,889 posts)Nor were there flash shoplifting mobs all over the country. Stores are closing because of this. The right wing talking point is that wussy DAs in "Democrat" cities are responsible for this crime wave among young people. I doubt that. I think it's a pretty clear cause and effect involving the thousands of kids who dropped out of school due to COVID.

(21,073 posts)Just seems like some reason these young flash groups are being formed to do this BULLSHIT! Something is causing this crap. Social media? Need to figure a way to check the phones of some that HAVE been caught, and see who the fuck they are chatting with.

(19,950 posts)We've had a lot of trouble in KCMO with a bunch of kids on bikes and kids in souped up cars blocking busy streets. Or a bunch of bikes would terrorize the freeways.
I think the police really cracked down on that stuff and I haven't heard anything lately.

AND he needs to pay for damages and for the emotional suffering she and her family have been subjected to.
