Well that may have happened right that moment during that last stop but NOT while it was speeding for 4 miles!!

No slashed tire or bare wheel will survive a 4 mile run like that.

I really think this 5gears-IS guy has no logic whatsoever and has no idea what he's talking about. I think he just "stick together with his hommies" no matter if right or wrong. If the driver didn;t run over their asses and just sit there getting killed with his family, this dude would still think the bikers were right cuz the SUV didn;t stop faster than a bike.

If you look at the video the rider that gets hit when brake checking was indeed going off the rr driver right before that.

That leads to believe something had happened way before the video and that my friend no one knows for sure but something pissed him off causing this whole mess.

so then Cruz is within his rights to cut in front of the RR and brake check him becuase Cruz is pissed off? smh your attempts at finding these fools innocent is beyond absurd. they were in the wrong holistically, I'm really awaiting the 911 calls to be released so we can confirm that the bikers were trying to lock down the highway to do their stunts. only a matter of time

You don't even know me my dude, first off I don't hang out with "hommies" and I rarely ride in packs.

Not sure why you think bikers are all criminals with that mentality of yours thinking they would have killed him and his family sounds like a rotten mind.

Remember I said the first half of the video is the drivers fault, second half was SOME of the riders. Not all 300 of them followed or acted like SOME did.

Whats up with this "brake check mentality"?....

It is illegal and dangerous,... do they even teach this technique in defensive driving school?

Most drivers I noticed who do brake checks are the ff:

1.Proud, feeling superior but stupid.
2.Hot headed and ill tempered.
3.You think your bike/vehicle is the one and only best thing..lol
4.You want to be ahead and not let anybody pass you.
5.Immature

Yes I have, they can take a puncture not a slash! And i am sure that intentional slash was way larger than a run flat tire can handle.

no one is saying all riders are criminals...but this set of bikers tend to be, just based on their video posting history alone. they do nothing but cause trouble on the streets and break laws. following is just as good as an accomplice, anyone of them who tried to box off that RR is guilty...and surely for trying to chase down the RR as well. this isn't any form of "citizen's arrest", those who chased/followed (however you view it) was looking for a revenge to something they brought on themselves.

Oh yeah...hey guys... The dude stops.. He had no where to go... Let's slash his tire then pull him out and beat him up..

You need to stop while you are "ahead".. Driftgirl made the right choice

http://lawofselfdefense.com/jury_ins...e-of-a-person/

Law of self defense in NY, RR driver does not actually have to wait to be attacked but just fear that himself or others were in danger (clearly) and he is justified to use force to escape or prevent an attack.


As I pointed out in the Bernie Goetz case, the fear of attack (and if its apparent to any reasonable person that this is a true fear) is justification of the use of deadly force.

most here are basing what happened off the video and related pictures posted...you are the one, and others in this thread too, that indicate some altercation before sparking it and having Cruz have to do that brake check on the RR. not to mention others thinking the RR should be able to stop better than the bike and so forth.

based on the videos and posted pix of the incident, Cruz instigated the altercation and hightened everything that unfolded. as one member said here, the paralyzed biker should sue Cruz for his damages.

You mean...

The same way MOST of us are sure/ think? so far I only count 3 people against the RR driver.
Its majority "common sense" against minority "uncommon sense"
