What a bunch of aholes. Couldn't see how "exactly" the situation started, but I did see a bunch of bikers driving way too close and crowding the guy right out of his lane, and then stopping right in front of him, on a highway, forcing him to "bump" the guy. Then they all stopped him right on the highway, closed it, and he's with his wife and a child. Yeah can't blame him for wanting to escape that.

Although the actions of one biker in front of the RR right around the 0.25-second-mark are unclear, from what I could tell in the video, those bikers, despite being all around the RR, gave no indication that they were going to hurt the driver or his family in any way....the driver probably panicked for nothing.

too bad you forgot surrounding his car, forcing him to stop, banging/denting his car, slashing his tires all while hes in the car with his wife and kid. No indication of aggression? Yea he sure did panick over nothing. The biker cuts in front of the SUV, turns around, slows down to see how close he can get to the RR, and he lost. His own damn fault for being an idiot. His actions were unclear?

Simply having bikers riding next to your car is not necessarily a danger sign..

Famous quote from Cool Hand Luke :
What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.

It's one thing if you want to pull over to the side of the road to discuss the matter while allowing other traffic to pass (and witness), but something entirely different when they completely box him in and stop AND SHUT DOWN THE HIGHWAY. You're basically holding him and his family hostage at that point. My wife and I have discussed, and if the same thing happened to us I probably would have done the same thing. Hope they arrest and prosecute a whole bunch of these idiots. They also weren't just "riding next to him". You could see in the video how one of the bikers along side of him went right into his lane and made some sort of gesture to the driver of the RR. Yeah that's not aggressive. HUH?

Pretty much.

I would have done the same thing I am sure. until the last one. it's self defense at that point.
Cannot believe is anyone here siding with those bullies.

The Asian in a RR probably was fuel to fire vs a Asian in a Camry.That one guy probably figured this guy has got $$$ and was maybe jealous and decided to bust his *****.Wrong move as he was arrested with multiple offenses and caused another biker to be paralyzed.
Just a thought.

I saw the video yesterday and its the bikers fault. They brake checked the gut in the SUv then tried to get off their bikes to be all bad *** and got served some pay back. The bikers posted it to get some sympathy and it looks bad for them

I think even the title of this thread wants to suggest that.

As a former rider, I'm appalled at some of the comments here. Regardless of what the biker did to the RR originally, there was no excuse for the RR to try to run them over afterwards. If he thought the other biker was brake checking him, then just slow down. If he felt his life was threatened, call the cops. Running over people with your car is vehicle manslaughter, and fortunately only 1 biker got his legs broken (supposedly disabled for life), so that was fortunate. I'm no way condoning the actions that happened thereafter, because see a biker group that large, you don't start poking a stick at a hornet's nest....you leave it alone.
