[quote]The New York City Police Department said a man driving a Range Rover with his wife and 2-year-old daughter inside Sunday struck a motorcyclist on Manhattan's West Side Highway, breaking his leg.
"It was an accident," says Lt. Karen Anderson.
The SUV driver pulled over, and the bikers surrounded his vehicle, hitting it and spiking the tires, police said. The driver pulled away, hitting three more bikers in the process, police said.
The gang, called "Hollywood Stuntz," according to police, chased the man, and he was forced to stop because of flat tires.
The SUV driver was cornered and beaten, according to police. He was later treated at a local hospital for slashes to his face and released. His wife and child were not injured.
One biker who was struck by the SUV, 28-year-old Christopher Cruz, was arrested and faces several charges, including reckless endangerment, reckless driving and endangering the welfare of a child, police said.[/quote]
Thoughts? Do you think (given the video) that it was an accident? Do you think the driver is at all at fault? What kind of charges should be brought up? Is it fair that the original "victim" is in custody now?

Edited by Bandi: 10/4/2013 2:58:03 AMIDK if anyone commented on it already but one guy brake checked the one driving the truck, then surrounded the truck and made it stop apparently the truck driver got pissed/panicked and ran like six people over, the one who brake checked got his spine crushed and is likely to never walk again, and was also charged with a lot of things [url=http://www.carthrottle.com/remember-the-nyc-bikers-they-attacked-a-prius-in-2011/]They also vandalized a Prius back in 2011[/url] I'm trying to find the video where you can see him brake check the guy, but there were also seven other videos uploaded by one of the bikers to show what they did to the driver afterward I can link the [url=http://www.carthrottle.com/7-videos-the-nyc-bikers-dont-want-you-to-watch/]article[/url] but the video themselves are long gone

What a bunch of cowards.

Edited by Mega Blaziken: 10/4/2013 3:30:30 AMstupid brake checking cunt, I'd just accelerate if some fuckwad did that. kill them all.
-
At the end as soon as those dicks boxed me in I would have thrown it in reverse and ran there asses over again.
-
jackass bikers. here have a good guy-biker gif.
-
Wow, what a bunch of idiots. If that happened to me in my Jeep, all of their bikes would have been run over and as soon as they started trying to get into the vehicle and threatening me, my .45 would have been in their faces.
-
Man it sure is cOLD in here
-
I would have killed them all.
-
Rich punks, I say lock them all up for a decade, and donate everything they own to Goodwill.
-
I doubt it was an accident but still the bikers took it way too far. Also why didn't the guy call the police or anyone for help?
-
He should've floored it and kept going forward.
-
It's a crying shame that he didn't take out more of those dirty outlaws.
-
Sounds like Organ Trail lol
-
I pictured guys similar to an actual motorbike gang, not a bunch of guys in their 20's on crotch rockets. They may be fast, but nothing is scarier than a bunch of middle aged men that are pissed off riding Harley's and carrying baseball bats. SAMCRO might have ruined my idea of a real biker gang, but some can be close when it comes to violence.
-
Agreed with the majority. Dumb biker tried to "slow the truck down" by brake checking them. After that, it was all bikers escalation.
-
I blame [spoiler]SAMCRO[/spoiler]

Edited by JLx24: 10/1/2013 10:30:00 PMSaw this on Youtube earlier. Guy acted in self defense, I would be scared shitless if a bunch of bikers surrounded my car and I had my wife and child with me. The bikers should be charged with assault and reckless driving. No idea why the biker posted the video, it only helps the guy in the SUV prove his case.
-
What a bunch of fags. [spoiler]and Hollywood Stuntz is the gayest of gay names.[/spoiler]

Been following this story in Jalopnik since yesterday. That biker who brake checked the RR is an ass hat. When you have your wife and 2 year old in the car and you fear that their lives are in danger you're going to do whatever you can to get out of there. Also these bikers are mostly ass hats. There are several videos of them breaking laws and treating law abiding motorist terribly.
-
They should all get the death penalty.
-
Flood. Let's combine and look for all those bikers. Then proceed to go on a homicidal frenzy upon finding them.
-
I hope every biker responsible for this -blam!- gets arrested and serves a long penalty in prison.
-
biker at fault. they weave in and out of traffic...run his ass down
-
My favorite part about this, is that one of the bikers who was in the wrong, put the video from his helmet cam online. SMH.

Both sides are dumb.
