They totally break checked the RR. He asked to be tapped by accident.

I don't know why he didn't call police. They would have responded in time to avoid much of this.

They were clearly trying to stop him. Which makes me wonder what happened BEFORE the video.

The only thing I know for sure is that the actions of the men at the end of the video... justified. You run someone over and run from the scene of an accident I'd chase you down too. Had that been the police they had shot him.

If he was truly trying to protect his family he would have called the cops. Hold up your cell phone and they'll go away. Or he would have exited the freeway immediately and gotten somewhere public. or he would have avoided the group in the first place.

He ran those 2 guys over to save himself. They weren't going to kick his wife and baby's *** they were gonna kick his.

So what did he do?

Guess the Prius having the right of way on a green light was wrong. These guys arent even sport bike riders but instead are all a bunch of pussies

Multiple news sources say he did. The bikes were still there when the police got to the scene.

Check the photo I posted after the RR is stopped for the last time. They bashed the wife's window

Not sure if it happened during the first stop where the vid starts or the last time the RR stops.

lol, stop it. If they were chasing you down with 100 riders smashing your windows in and slashing your tires, you're gonna tell me you're gonna sit still and show them your phone?

Are you serious? So, they were justified in stopping this guy, and not calling the police, because of "whatever might have happened before" but he was not justified in trying to get away? You would have said to yourself "well, my wife and kid should be fine, I'll just stop and get out to talk."?

Absolute nonsense. Sorry dude, just doesn't make sense to me. I don't think we know if he called the police or not, but either way he had his hands full being attacked from all sides with his family, and surging adrenalin.

Also, holding up my phone while on the line with 911 did not stop the ONE dude from punching the **** out of my car in downtown San Carlos a few years back. It took long enough for the police to get there (justified, its congested even though they are couple blocks away) that he was gone by the time they got there. I have been pursued a couple of times in the past by people that were making it clear that they wanted to hurt me. It's not fun, and I have never been attacked by an irrational mob with weapons and safety gear. Well, not yet anyway.

There is no way, no how, that holding up a phone would have stopped these PSYCHOS from attacking the guy. Not a chance.

I had a dude trying to run me off the road and fight me once. I picked up my phone.. dialed.... showed the dude the phone... he went away.


I'm not saying I have ANY of the facts here.

I'm sure what happened was that the dude got to close to a bike. The mob mentality of *** hat motorcycle guy got the best of them. They started messing with said RR driver. He called the cops. The messed with him more. Eventually the dude pulled in front of him to stop the car.

That was pretty clear. The dude cut him off and slowed to get him to stop.

At which point I don't know what happened but if they were smashing the wife and kid side of the car you bet your *** I would have run someone over.

But like I said... I know better than to get mixed up with 50 guys on bikes in my car with my kid in it. I wouldn't have been anywhere near them.



And yes... you run someone over and flee the scene of an accident there's a pretty good chance what will happen did happen.

If I was an innocent bystander and saw someone do that I would have chased them down myself and pulled them out of the car.

Beat his ***... if it was one of my friends... probably.

If a cop had been there... seen what happened from the point that I saw what happened... he would have chased the guy down and if the guy wouldn't get out of the car he would have broke the window with his stick/light and pulled the dude through the window.

Like I said before. I don't know the facts. More than likely the dude was scared ****less and did nothing to start any of this and wanted to get away. He doesn't really look like a tough guy that would start **** in the middle of 50 bikers to me. So his reactions in that scenerio are probably right on with what I would have done.

But I don't know.

All I saw was a couple minutes of clipped video. I'd like to see ALL the video.

Seriously...

my point was mainly that I don't know what happened. I can't say what is justified. I don't know what I would have done. Maybe I would have run every mother ****er in my way over to save my family. I don't know.

I also don't know if this dude hit another rider before and refused to stop. Or tailgated them. Or cut them off. Or whatever... which instigated this.

Maybe the dude was cutting him off to get him to stop because he had already hit another rider.

If that is the case then the guy started the situation in the first place. Then he made it worse by not stopping. Then when they do get him to stop he runs 2 people over and runs away. At which point he gets chased down and stopped.

If that is the case... then who's to say that it's not skewed.

See what I'm saying?

We don't know what happened.



I've stood toe to toe 4/1 to defend my family. I've armed myself with a shotgun to protect my family. I went at a dude twice my size to protect my wife while I was on crutches. Took on 2 guys twice my size to defend someone I never met because he was getting jumped. Etc. I'm not scared to defend my family and friends and I'd do what needed to be done.

If they find that is the case here then the dude should walk away with a clean slate and the guys that messed with him should pay to fix his car.




not saying I disagree Jacob. Honestly. I'd **** the dude up.


I'm just kind of saying... what if...

It's a lot easier to say yeah I'd kill them all than to actually do it.


So maybe this dude should be called a hero.

I suppose we might fight out as more video surfaces.

Ray, did you watch the other video? the one XxSti05xX posted


My opinion: Neither party is in the right, but I feel for the driver and his family as he looks like he just wanted to get away and protect his family
