Isn't it funny how the media will never cover a story like this, specifically AA bikers attacking an innocent family. No matter how much the liberal media will try to hide these types of stories, racism continues to escalate, and be reinforced.
Haha, just lookin for a double standard..arent ya?

Where were the police? Oh, they were harassing tourists and homeless people downtown. Or out visiting their hooker girlfriends while on the clock.

There's so much that needs to be known of this story.

1 - Did the wife or guy call 911? If not, why not?
2 - Why was the door left unlocked at first, when that biker was able to open the driver door? Were they in a state of panic and couldn't tell if it was locked or not?
3 - Why didn't he hit reverse when the biker was smashing his window with his helmet? And the other biker was hitting the back window where his daughter was sitting?
4 - Why has no one been arrested yet?
5 - Why didn't a group of other guys run out and help the man being beat?

6 - All the bikers should get arrested and fined. They were ACCESSORIES to this assault and stalking. They continued to harass and encircle the family with their bikes. Providing protection for the people smashing the windows and using a knife.

Default Bikers: We're the Victims

A couple of the bikers have just given interviews to a local TV station; they claim that they were actually the victims of the SUV driver:

they called 911, but its nypd so they are often slow to respond and end up jus picking up the bodies
most people will also find it weird that this was goin on for so long at high speeds in Manhattan, and no police cars were anywhere on the highway, like its some rural area

Default Gay marriage will lead to BLOATED government intruding into our lives.

Marriage is one of the few private institutions that government has not replaced. But if the United States follows in line with the Netherlands in gay marriage, the institution will eventually go away. (Guess what will replace it.)

They (Sweden) are the "leaders" in gay marriage. But what has been the result? Fewer people there have been getting married. What's the purpose in marriage anymore? Therefore the children no longer "belong" to the family. The government is now becoming their new parents.

What do the libertarians think of this idea?

I'm disappointed.

I saw "BLOATED" in the title, and I was 100% sure there would be a Ted Kennedy or Bawney Fwank reference in here somewhere.

Biker, 28, arrested 'after his erratic driving sparked high-speed chase that led to motorcyclists beating driver in front of his wife and child' | Mail Online

Brit press has some more details. The SUV driver was a 33-yr-old guy who graduated from Columbia and works for Credit Suisse. The biker is a 26-yr-old rapper who goes by 'Jay Meezee.' He is paralyzed from the waist down and not expected to walk again, according to his family.

In retrospect the SUV driver handled it pretty well given his options. Many would have been frozen with fear, but he wasn't. He should have stayed on the expressway, but that's 20-20 hindsight. The bikers have to suffer the ignominy of being hanged by their own video.

No. The premise is faulty at best.
