Maybe the off duty cops didnt have their guns and stuff.
I realize a few guys trying to intervene with that massive mob wouldn't be able to do much and probably get their asses kicked too. But to not report it for a few days after and lawyer up? Why oh why would you lawyer up if you did nothing wrong?!?!? There's no way this was a one time event....
Here's an incident by the same group in 2011 where they surrounded a car that was trying to make its way through an intersection (incident at 1:19 mark or so). Notice the signal light ...
Those bikers are just thugs, pure and simple. They ride around like the roads are their private race track and terrorize innocent people who happen to get in their way.
What struck me as funny is that the Attorney for the one clown arrested says he has been laid off since 2011 and has 6 kids, but it looks like he is using his welfare money to keep his crotch rocket motorcycle on the road. Real winners, all of them.
Glad to see they are making arrests and I hope all the cops who stood by, and who are sworn to protect people even when off duty, lose their jobs and are charged.
A really disgraceful situation all the way around.
There was a point when he stopped on the highway and his windows hadn't been mashed and a guy ran up and opened his door because it wasn't locked, he then sped off. It was a range rover so the electronics were probably malfunctioning just because.
If you look at Anderson Cooper's interview with the person Sergio who stopped the attack on Lien, see AC360 Exclusive: Hero bystander speaks – Anderson Cooper 360 - CNN.com Blogs , around the 4:35 mark you'll see a motorcyclist, most likely Cruz, run up to the Range Rover, and furiously open the drivers side door, and that prompted Lien to speed off to protect his family. Had Cruz not tried to pry the door of the Range Rover open, Lien would not have sped off. Mieses' injuries are due solely to Cruz actually opening the Range Rover's door to drag the driver of the Range Rover out to the highway to attack, there is no other way to view it. No normal person after a minor collision would run up to a car to open the door of another car except to assault the other driver. Cruz only did that because he had 50 other thugs backing him up. If Lien had just stayed on the highway and not sped off, he would have been beaten to death and his wife and baby attacked because no one would have stopped the assault. It's only because Sergio stopped the attack that Lien and his wife and baby are alive today. The driver of the Range Rover saved himself and his family by speeding off.
I would have shot every single one of those aholes that approached my vehicle with my H&K .45 without hesitation. They ALL should have been run over like bowling ball pins.
Ah, but since it happened in NY, you would not legally been allowed to protect your family with a firearm. You would just need to call the police like the wife did multiple times and wait for the police to arrive.
It all worked out ok, didn't it?
PS - While things like this do not happen every day to people, I think a situation like this is a perfect example where a high capacity gun is needed. If the driver had shot a few of them, they might have scattered, or waited until he shot 5 to 10 times, then all swarmed the family.

I could not even keep a count of the number of violations these guys were guilty of(running red lights, wrong side of the road, driving on the sidewalks through school zones, etc.). Anyone who is legally proceeding and either hits one of these fools, or even almost gets into an accident with them is likely to be attacked by any one of the hundreds of them.
While I understand that everyone is entitled to representation by a Lawyer in America, some of the Attorneys really make me sick. Like the one trying to spin the attack by saying his client "was just approaching the victim after the accident because he wanted to exchange information !" Pure BS. Those bikers looked like they were making a Mad Max movie, swarming all over the poor guy, trying to cut him off and not having any regard for him or any other car on the road.
Those guys are criminals, no two ways about it, and I hope they throw the book at them. NY needs to send a strong message on this one that we are not living in some 3rd world country where this stuff goes on.
