I'm happy for them. More intelligent minds to sustain the tax base.

I hope they all graduate Summa *** Laude (wow on that edit lol)

More tax money for the state.

And when they grow up, the ghetto punks will blame racism for their failure in life. And obviously some will also get in trouble with the law and then they of course will blame the racist justice system.

It’s always everyone else’s fault except themselves.

I would not count on that bud. Everyone makes money and leaves NYC area except few.

Something is DEFINITELY missing from this story.

This might even be more of a problem when congestion pricing starts, then you'll have bicyclists come in from Brooklyn and Queens over the bridges...
I agree. The driver could have slowed down and allowed that mess of "young adults" to bike on, made a turn ,etc.

If the driver were to hit one of those kids with his car he would go straight to jail or worse get assaulted by those kids. Similar to the Asian guy in the West Side Highway Incident.

I am not sure you can get away from a pack like that if they are intent on coming after you. They can go down any street whereas an automobile cannot. You also can get stuck in traffic while bikes do not. If you panic, you can easily hit a pedestrian or another car, making a situation even worse for yourself.

And guess what I'm doing then - calling 911 on my phone while I'm driving to the nearest precinct, simple

I dont have time to play with these people, I have a family to take care of, and I dont have time to entertain nonsense in the street. I'm not getting into it with them.
