Update on the bikers who terrorized a New York City Family.

[magical thyme]

144. one biker under arrest deliberately caused the initial accident

He cut him off, looked back at the SUV driver first over his right shoulder, then over his left and then stopped dead or close to it. The SUV driver was unable to stop in time and clipped his back tire. The accident is very, very clear in the video. You can see the motorcycle rider pull in front of him very close, within just a couple feet, forcing him to slow down. You can see the motorcycle rider look back over his shoulders and then you see the motorcycle come to a (near )stop, forcing the SUV driver to slam on his brakes and pretty much making it impossible to not hit the back of the bike.

The SUV driver then pulled over to do what you normally do in an accident. But 30 bikers surrounded his vehicle, slashed his tires and started pounding on it and threatening him.

He drove off to protect himself, his wife and his children.

Instead of taking his plates and calling the police to have him arrested for leaving the scene of an accident, the bikers then chased him down the highway until his tires were totally flat, smashed in the front and back driver-side windows, dragged him out of the car, beat him up and then took off.

First responders found him lying on a sidewalk in a pool of his own blood.

The police, who have viewed the videos and interviewed witnesses are not charging the father because they have determined he hit the motorcycle that deliberately cut him off by accident and that he drove off in self-defense from the mob that had surrounded his vehicle, slashed his tires and threatened him while pounding on his car.

They have arrested the guy who caused the accident. They have arrested the guy who smashed in the rear drivers-side window. They are looking for the guy who smashed in the front drivers-side window.

Seems pretty clear cut who is to blame here.

As far as the guy that was run over and paralyzed, he was part of the group the surrounded the SUV to begin with. He was running with the wrong crowd. Furthermore, other video shows the whole lot of them riding on sidewalks, running red lights, passing 2 lanes of cars by riding down the broken lines that separate the lanes...including the wrong way in traffic.

Oh, and he was arrested for riding with a suspended license a couple months ago.
