Where is the law and order! Biker hoards terrorize driver

[Ravenrune]

Sometimes I see things I didn't even know happen and I'm shocked at how pathetic our societies have lowered.





Huge gatherings of dangerously driving and threatening bikers crowding around a vehicle on the road and acting like a bunch of thugs.

They end up smashing his window and beating the father with his family in the SUV.

The entire lot of these scum should be carted off to a secluded jail for decades for this activity! I'm tired of seeing this kind of crap and these thugs get away with all of this nonsense because society is so soft!

The ones involved in the beating should be jail for the rest of their lives... period! Tired of seeing this crap.


He "mowed down" one biker after they slashed his tires when stopped and surrounded .... yeah! So he's not supposed to feel he and his family are in total danger! He hit the gas to get out of there!

I know ordinary people who ride motorcycles. And then there are filthy macho jerks who think riding noisy bikes with other filthy macho jerks makes it ok to commit crimes.

After watching the video these motorcyclists are not members of the typical 1% Biker Clubs such as Hell's Angeles, Sons of Silence, Iron Horsemen and others. They don't have "Rags" on, which is their emblem patches on their vest. Also 1% clubs are Harley Davidson bikes only and I did not see any bottom rockers, another type of patch indicating which area they are from.

Am I the only one to mention the race factor in this? Blackapes are very bold and aggressive in large numbers, with the added mobility of motorcycles, a recipe for a disaster. I think this incident actually happened a year or two ago. Lesson learned: around blacks, never relax...

I'm not saying all bikers are like this but this appears to be more of a loose association of anyone who wants to gather for this event (from what little I know). It's not any real biker group.

The whole concept of hoards of wreckless egotistical bikers taking over a whole section of road surrounding law-abiding citizens is outrageous. It has no place in what would be called a "civilization".


This whole event has a Wikipedia entry

Some interesting tidbits in it

Sources have reported a total of five off-duty officers were originally present on the West Side Highway, and that at least two saw the assault.^[

A total of 15 people were arrested, 55 motorcycles were confiscated, and 69 summonses were issued in connection with the September 29 event. Eleven bikers were convicted in connection with the attack.

Police have stated that they do not plan to file charges against Alexian Lien. In December 2013, Lien filed a notice of claim regarding the city of New York for the involvement of an off-duty police detective in the attack, accusing the police department of failing to properly train their officers.^[50] As of 2018, formal proceeding to a civil suit had not occurred

Christopher Cruz, who collided with Lien's vehicle at the beginning of the incident, was arraigned in Manhattan on charges of reckless driving and criminal imprisonment.^[30] Cruz pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and riot and was sentenced to four months in jail and five years probation.

Motorcyclist Reggie Chance, who was identified as the one who broke Lien's window with his helmet, turned himself in to Manhattan's 33rd Precinct on October 4.^[51] Chance pleaded guilty to felony assault and criminal mischief in exchange for two years in prison and three years post-release supervision.

Robert Sims of Brooklyn, who is shown on the video attempting to open the SUV's driver's door, turned himself in to Manhattan's 33rd Precinct on October 4.^[51] Sims is also alleged to have attempted to pull Lien's wife out of the vehicle.^[54] Robert Sims and Wojciech Braszczok were tried together, opting to have a judge decide the verdict instead of a jury.^[9] On June 9, 2015, Sims was convicted of attempted gang assault, second-degree assault, coercion, riot and criminal possession of a weapon. He was sentenced to three and a half years in prison.^[55] He was acquitted of the top charge of first-degree gang assault.


Off-duty undercover officer Wojciech Braszczok was initially charged with assault, gang assault, riot and criminal mischief. Braszczok is not believed to have physically assaulted Lien, but was charged with assault because he was part of the larger group involved in the attack. He was allegedly captured on video wearing a black vest that said "Front Line Soldiers" on the back, punching and kicking the SUV^[57] Braszczok, whose police work led him to pose undercover as a protester to infiltrate the Occupy Wall Street movement, asserted that he never harmed Lien and was hitting the vehicle to maintain his cover. Prosecutors argue that "Braszczok completely abdicated his responsibility as a police officer by first and foremost failing to take any action."^[16] He testified that he was unable to help Lien because, without his badge and gun, he was helpless to stop the melee.^[58][59] "I didn’t think they would have believed me that I was a cop," he said. "I wish I could have done more to help the driver."^[60] Braszczok said he followed Lien to detain him after hitting Mieses, but was unable to do so for safety reasons.^[58][59] He also said he failed to report seeing the assault to his supervisors because he feared losing his job.^[59] On June 9, 2015, Braszczok was convicted of second-degree assault, coercion, riot and criminal mischief. He was acquitted of the top charge of first-degree gang assault.^[56] Braszczok received one year on the assault conviction and one year for coercion. The sentences for those charges will run concurrently. He also received one year for criminal mischief for breaking the SUV's window. This sentence will run consecutively with the other two, leaving him with two years in jail.^[61] Braszczok was fired from the NYPD for his role in the attack.^[62]
Jason Brown pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and riot and was sentenced to three and a half years in jail.^[63]
Several defendants have accepted plea deals. Allen Edwards and Edwin Rodriguez were each sentenced to five years probation on charges of second-degree assault and first-degree rioting.^[48] Craig Wright, Kalik Douglas, and James Kuehne also pleaded guilty to the same charges, and were sentenced to two years in prison and three years post-release supervision. Clint Caldwell, who played a more minor role, pleaded guilty to the same charges and was sentenced to one year in prison.^[53]

So a hoard of thugs takes over a highway and terrorizes a family and beats the male which could have ended in murder except for a bystander bravely entering and saying to stop and one biker trying to haul the beaten driver's wife out of the car (all this with their child in the back)....

... and these thugs get a year or two or 3.5 years for the idiot cop .... complete rubbish as far as I'm concerned!

When I see this whole thing I just can't believe how pathetic our so-called civilization is.
