Caught on video: Father with family in SUV chased, beaten by speed-demon bikers

367. Unless it was in four wheel drive at the time

slashing tends more to show malicious intent. If that wheel was not applying torque from the drive train, AND the tire was damaged by driving over the bike, it would show a puncture, not a slash.

The media keeps reporting it as a slash, but the tire is long gone before the end of the beating, so they don't have opportunity to test that.

I disagree with your assessment of the timeline. There are bikers on all sides of the car at the end of the video. At that point the hood is not dented on the drivers side, and the passenger window is intact. So between that point where the video ends, and the photo was taken, someone clearly had time to attack the passenger side. (Though I agree, that tends to show she was inside the vehicle at the time, even though she wasn't injured, which is dick-ish of the bikers)

The SUV is stopped from :34 seconds into the video, to exactly :50 seconds. During that time, some of that duration doesn't count because of the white van passing it on the right, up to about :40 seconds in. So, basically, on that passenger side you have a 10 second window for the bikers to pull up, get off their bikes, bang/slash on the car, and for Mr. Lien to make his decision, and punch it chewie.

10 seconds is a pretty narrow window, but I will not argue that it is impossible. It just seems improbable to me.

I absolutely do not agree with your assertion that the damage on the passenger side had to occur during that 10-12 second window, and the later-on broken window on the passenger side strongly suggests it was attacked then, when the window was broken.
