1. so...

[ffr]

2. Still looking for the 'beaten in front of...' part

Odd how the NBC story stops with an incomplete sentence:

The driver then took off, knocking

To be fair, knocking would be a polite way of saying, ran over or crushing bikes & riders alike.

Hope nobody was seriously injured. Not enough preliminary information to go on. You don't typically hear about motorcyclists attacking people in cars, at least, unprovoked. No weapons were seen, except for a helmet used to bash in the driver's side window of the hit-and-run Range Rover, after the hit and run.

13. There have been stories of bikers en masse harassing people.

If I was surrounded by bikers who were intentionally trying to slow me down and surround me, I'd have to consider my life in danger and that they were committing suicide. Too bad, he did the right thing. I would have knocked them over when they continued to harass me. A little car slam. Those bikers were mental.

3. I see so much road rage

anymore..I'm in my car seeing clients much of the week and can't believe how much road rage I see..never saw it like this 10-15 years ago..several months ago a guy was merging left and never saw the car coming up on his left and almost hit the guy before he went back in his lane..

The guy who was almost hit followed the guy and at the exit ramp stop sign got out and started beating on the roof of the guys car..light turned green and they both went their separate ways.

4. Looks more to me like a man in an SUV got ticked off at the speed of a biker and bumped him in the

rear wheel (which could cause a very bad wreck). Then, when the bikers friends realized what was going on, the guy in the SUV ran over a bike (and nearly it's rider) in an attempt to get away from a situation he created.

5. Read the article poeple. A biker tried cut in way to close to the SUV and got clipped;

the biker suffered a broken leg. The bikers then started chasing the SUV and cut him off twice, slashing his tires, and finally were able to break into his car and then beat the man in front of his wife and two year old child.

I hope they catch the freaking criminals on bikes and put them away for a long time. From the very beginning of the video, the bikers were hogging the road, creating unsafe conditions for all other road users.

And there were more than 30 bikers in that video. I would have run too, if it were feasible.

Cretins like those in the video give responsible bikers a bad name.

6. It's obvious

that the bikers don't know how to dress. Good bikes ...bad fashion.

7. The driver appears to have been released without charges being filled. At least they didn't mention

it in the article or the additional video on the link provided. If you get hassled by motorcyclists, run right over them.

Watching a video like this makes me seriously start considering legally carrying a gun.

8. I am surprised that

no shots were fired.

9. Not surprising that a group that is planning a very public, very illegal demonstration of stupidity

would leave their guns at home.

10. a well placed piano wire would have ended the whole thing

[yuiyoshida]

11. That would be a hell of a mess..

Grab a mop!!

12. wow such a long video and not a cop in sight

I guess they're all busy stopping and frisking people.

14. Those assholes on bikes were looking for trouble

and they got what they wanted.
