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

310. what are you trying to say with this post?

Yes, I agree that the right front tire appears to be flat, but this appears to be a photo of the man being beaten up after they broke his window and dragged him from the car. You can also see that his wife's window was also shattered though the glass didn't fall out. We know that the vehicle was damaged and his tires were slashed at the time they caught up to the SUV and dragged him out. I'm not getting what your argument is. This is a photo of what occurred after the SUV driver ran over the bikes and the one guy with the broken legs that in the hospital, the bikers chased him down, they got off the highway, and they finally caught up to the family when they got stuck because of traffic stopped in front of them. There is no dispute that at THIS point in time that the vehicle was damaged and he was dragged out of the car and beaten up, so I just don't get what your point is with this post.

The only dispute about slashed tires I'm aware of is at what point in the whole incident that occurred, and since this photo depicts the end of the incident when they damaged his car and beat him up (that no one disputes happened at THAT point) I'm confused. Some people have been claiming that his car was being pounded on and his tires were slashed on the highway which was what caused the SUV driver to run over bikes and a person and take off but that isn't what this photos shows, so I'm just not getting what you're point is with it.

For the record, I believe that these bikers are a dangerous menace and that the SUV driver had every right to try to escape from them the way he did when he was brake checked and his vehicle was surrounded on the highway. Though I wish he had taken off more slowly trying to nudge people out of the way giving them a chance to move I can understand his terror for himself and his family even if they weren't pounding on his vehicle at that point. Given the fact that many many videos of them show other incidents where they terrorize other drivers on the road and even pound on their cars, I have no trouble believing that they did when they had his surrounded on the highway and was partially the reason he fled as he did though in the video at that point you can't even see the SUV at all much less what anyone may have been doing to it. Considering that from the start of the video the bikers had surrounded him on the highway so he couldn't pull over or get away, brake checked his vehicle on purpose to force him to stop and then surrounded his vehicle was plenty reason enough for him to be terrified and in panic for himself and his family's safety act as he did (which, thankfully, is also what the police believe).

Thanks for the photo though. Although you can't see that the driver is being beaten in this photo I'm betting that since he is already out of the vehicle that's what's happening in this photo given the bending down group at the back of the SUV.
