Here's the incident from another point of view

http://www.salem-news.com/articles/april272014/alexander-lien-tk.php

Tbh when I watched the video initially I thought the Range Rover driver was off his head and I understood the bikers anger. The first guy that was run over was paralyzed.(not that anyone could tell that from the video).

No one could condone the attack on the driver at the end. Or frightening his family.

That article. Wow. Just wow. Fcuk me.

A closer examination of the video, shows that the brake light on the motorcycle never appeared

Bollocks

The entire criminal case against the arrested motorcycle riders is based around Lien's claim that he was "scared" for his wife and small child, who were never targeted or harmed. In the end, Lien was ultimately stopped from fleeing the scene of several hit and run accidents. The last time Lien stopped, cyclists used their helmets to smash his window.

"Brave bikers stop evil hit and run monster". Utter bollocks.

It is established that he and his wife had been out celebrating their anniversary, which leads the documentary narrator to logically speculate that Lien may have been under the influence of alcohol, which would possibly explain his lack of driving patience and aggressive behavior -- running down several cyclists.

Gutter journalism of the worst kind. translates as "I have nothing to make Mr Lien look bad, so I will just say that he was drunk, based on absolutely nothing whatso-fcuking-ever"
Piece of sh*t of an article, reprehensible and just wrong.

i agree alot of it is nonsense



But imo they initially rode after him just to stop him, as he had run over one of them and their motorcycles.

I wouldn't assume that because they are motorcyclists that they intended him harm.

It does seem that there was an incident before the camera starts rolling on the youtube clip.
What we see in the video is a biker forcing him to stop and then a mob forming around his car. I'm pretty sure they did not want a friendly chat with Mr Lien, you don't have a crowd like that around your car and it's all smiles and sunshine.
No matter what happened before, the bikers didn't give him much of a choice and if I had wife and child in the car, I might have done the same (well hopefully I wouldn't have done anything to tick the bikers off in the first place).
But this is 'Murica, where the equivalent of "erm, excuse me" is "Hey Asshole!", it's just a more violent society and people seem to think "I'll beat the sh*t out of you, that'll show you whose right!". Somehow I can't picture this happening here, at least not to the extend as this kind of thing happens over there.

Sounds almost plausible, but I would try it with a banger first. Unless this is the new "microwave your iPhone" hoax and the resulting steam will blow your engine apart.

Couple of dashcam vids from me.Hate this on the M50, a fecker will undertake as many cars as possible in the EXIT lane, then cuts back into the left lane of the motorway across the traffic island.

No point in blasting like a lunatic either. I really don't mean any offence when I say this but its the dashcam rules of the road crowd that are more likely to get into a road rage type "incident" than the average Joe who Chillaxes and doesn't lose the rag at small situations he comes across like this.

Its that kind of sh*t that creates more trouble than its worth.

What do they say, all it takes for evil to prevail is that people do nothing.

Christ. You're taking things like that even more seriously than I thought
