Very interesting, JBPisgah.

As I posted earlier . . . there's always Two Sides To Every Story.

I had a feeling there had to be something that initially irritated the bikers.

The video showed a different story:

The biker brake-check the RR.
The RR bumped the biker (Christopher Cruz).
Everyone stopped.
The bikers surrounded the RR, not sure if they slashed his tired at this time.
RR freaked out, ran over another biker blocking his path (this Miese fellow) and broke his legs.
Bikers gave chase, stopped the RR, tried to enter the RR.
RR drove off again.
RR stopped by traffic.
Bikers smashed RR windows and video stopped.

Wow How sad to see those Jerks act that way. There was a wife,and a kid in the car. There is no excuse to have bullied that driver and his family. They are all very blessed that the driver did not run them down. I think we all agree that road rage is so stupid. I usually support motor cyclist. In this case it was cowardly. I think we should respectfully share the road..

The SUV driver may not be arrested, but he will certainly be sued into oblivion, and the jury in the civil trial will award the thug who was injured millions of dollars.


Here's a news flash for you: Not everything in the world is about politics. Lay off the Fox for a while and you might get better.

The accident and failure to stop happened before the events captured by the video, according to the NYPD.

There was an accident before the brake-check done by Cruz?

Another story states that the bikers for this event (Hollywood Stuntz) were in the process of closing down the highway for their own amusement. Law enforcement also stated a few entranceways up ahead were already being blocked by bikers. That would give these guys a good reason to mess with drivers who would not slow down for them... and thus the brake check. Another story goes that bikers like these would often target luxury vehicles with families to stop and demand money from them.

That's what the NYPD says in the video. Around 1:30

Videos 4 and 6 above were shot after the brake check and running over occurred. That happens in part 1.

So I assume they have video evidence to back that up? No? Didn't think so.

Remind me never to move to NYC. I might not even visit there after this one.
