I was suppose to be there. I know a lot if them. Going to find out whole story after work. From what I understand he was getting on parkway and didn't want to wait for 5000 bikes and just ran them off road.
And yes one biker did get killed at :50 second mark.
Looks like a bunch of D-bag motorcycle riders to me.....
Not saying the cager didn't make em made before the video started, but I've never seen that large of a group (un-escorted) not be a bunch of d-bags. Just saying.
Don't know what led up to that ,
but what would you do if I bunch of bikers boxed you in and obviously we're not happy with you?
Tough to say....
But I try my best to not get in that situation.
I was initially pissed off at what I saw but after reexamining the situation I agree with the sane perspective that most of you have pointed out.
Other then observing that the mob mentality spread like wild fire thru the group (same thing happens regardless of demographic), it is truly something to behold from a distance and after the fact and the other thing that stood out were the amount of SQUIDS cruising in that mass of bikers,
the dude on the Gix-a-ma-call-it-a-saki with his hunny on the back rockin the high cut bootie shorts,
(bitch be lookin fine wif all dat scar tishue)
i just wish in place of the range rover was a lifted truck on 37's or bigger. that would have been pretty interesting and entertaining to watch.
I agree 100% on this, everyone needs to be arrested. And yes I think if the driver is arrested that he doesnt go to jail for defending himself. But Im still pretty sure I wouldve beat his ass for running over my friends (if they were). Again I dont fault him for getting out of there but they way he did get out of there was not the best way, how did he think that would end? Did he think 50+ riders were just going to be like "Lets not **** with that guy, hes crazy", or did he think that he would be able to get away from said motorcycles in his o so stealthy and nimble land rover?At least they didn't kill him.Â* BS they didn't get arrested.
I think it just comes down to the fact that the driver refused to yield to the riders and started driving aggressively, thus pissing the riders off. There are other vehicles in the video before the landrover, and you dont see the riders ****ing with them. I dont think the riders just up and see a land rover and said "**** that guy, lets mess with him." Though I could be wrong. What I do know is-
So he didn't want to wait. So he may have drove like an asshole. Is the best scenario getting in front of him with your bike and brake checking him? So if he avoided hitting the one douche in front of him and the other twelve behind slammed into his tailgate...is he still at fault? Point being, just because you ride a motorcycle and ride in a large group doesn not give you total permission to own the road. I can't see what is happening in the video up into the point that he guns it. Wouldn't be a fair assesment to say that he was in the right, so I have to take a step back. But...I also can't see if they are trying to get into his car, are beating on it trying to break glass and get in. There is a lot of fail in this video. Mostly from the bikers if you ask me. Up until he ran people over (which I hope he or his wife would have been on the phone with cops as well, not just the bikers) it was still a group of "bad-asses" (I absolutely use that term loosley) who are harassing a driver and his family. RIP to the rider who was killed if that is the case. Perhaps this person's death won't be in vain and can teach others to say your piece and move on rather than escalate a situation. Somehow I doubt it though....
Nobody was killed. Police reports indicate the driver was the only person to sustain injury. He was dragged out if his SUV and beaten and slashed in his face and chest.

To be fair the news doesn't always get it right. I'll say here what I said on my fb post.
"People were acting like idiots all the way around in that vid."
"If the guy really turned the camera on at that point I would think something else happened to make the guy try to stop the car. Since the guy that got bumped clearly looked back at the car a few times before braking that's what it seems to me.
Either way.
Long story short, don't ride like idiots. Those big vehicles can take you out easily."
We know they're impatient, and we know they don't look for us even if we're obvious.
As infuriating as cagers can be, I don't think the actions of the bikers were warranted. There was a real mob mentality to the bikers' actions and it appears they did eventually pull the driver out of the Range Rover and beat and cut him up. To what end was all of this chaos beneficial? Bikes get damaged, bikers get hurt and the driver is assaulted.
That group isn't the type of biker I want to ride with or be associated with.
