The Facebook page is pathetic. I didn't see where she is asking for $2000 but there's some other choice stuff on there. There's one post that says: "This video isn't from the BEGINNING where they were trying to tell the Range Rover to let them pass together."

Oh, so now when you're in a group of 30 bikes on the highway, surrounding an SUV on all sides acting like a swarm of bees and deliberately swerving in front of it and then stopping short is equivalent to telling the Range Rover to let them pass together? No, actually, it's aggressive and reckless driving.

And maybe someone should tell the owners of the FB page that it's not exactly the best medium for a support site when hundreds or thousands of people in the country are pissed off at the criminal behavior during this incident and want to express themselves. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justi...11664345601619

they seem to be handling it pretty well, considering he's paralyzed.

this almost seems like a movie plot in some ways, they'll probably make a movie based on it at some point. the SUV driver will be packing in the movie though, probably. Or he'll be doing some crazy stuff driving, running over these bikers.

I wouldn't mind seeing that, to be honest. LOL

I wonder what this Asian's guys face looks like. I am kind of surprised he was able to get out of the hospital so quickly. He's probably going to have to go witness protection for rest of his life b/c these guys are dangerous.

He was part of a bunch of thugs whose MO seems to be to intimidate and harass other drivers and possibly pedestrians that cross their paths. Does this mean he deserves to be paralyzed? Of course not.

One thing we don't need any more information about in order to make a judgment is that he wasn't too bright when it comes to highway safety. If an accident happens on a highway and you want to go help the person (as his family is claiming) who might have been injured, you don't stop your vehicle IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY in order to go "help." You pull your vehicle off onto the shoulder and then go help if it's safe to do so. Sorry, the guy's a moron. Although just being a moron doesn't mean you deserve to get paralyzed either.

It'll be like "Shoot 'em Up" minus Clive Owen & Paul Giamatti but with bikes & fat chicks with whale tails hanging off a bike's rear end.

I'm not rich by any means, but I'm gladly donated some money to the 43 yrs father who was
paralyzed after diving in a creek to save a young child few months ago when I read the news.
It's not much, but I think good deeds should be encouraged no matter how little we can contribute.

As for this biker guy, I rather wipe my butt with my money then donate them to support these
type of people. Their anti-social and dangerous behaviour should be discouraged not supported,
unless we want more incidents like these in the future. You can even see many good bikers came
out to denounce these jokers giving bikers a bad name. I can't rep enough people in this thread.

i never understand why the cops don't station a few cars at exit ramps of highways .. then when these jerks speed by , have other cops shut down the highway a few miles ahead. that way there would be no way for the jerk bikers to exit the highway since the all the exit ramps before the road block are manned. Drivers are inconvienced, but are rewarded by seeing the bikers get arrested.
I saw this happen once on the Belt Parkway (I was riding a bicycle on the path in Brooklyn). Got to see rice burners loaded onto a NYPD paddy wagon as their owners stood alongside the parkway watching. It made my day.
