You're a gun owner so I know you're familiar with the need to stay above reproach and only iterate to deadly force when there are no other options. A car is no different than a gun or knife. From the video, they did not try to open the door until the first stop after the altercation. |

Unless they went out that day planning to treat annoying drivers like that, you would have a tough time sticking him with the behaviors of the group. |

I'm a little confused- are you arguing that the bikers aren't at fault for the escalation of the situation that ended in injuries, or are you just playing devil's advocate?

I'm willing to bet the bikers receive a couple of traffic citations, the driver receives his insurance-bumping rear-end at-fault, and then we go to civil court. There's very little evidence as of now that provides opportunity for criminal convictions (on either side). If evidence of knife use on either the tires or the person comes up, everything gets turned on it's head. |

I haven't seen a good shot of the RR right after he bumped the rear of the bike that squatted in front of him. If we're going to guess what happened, how about the driver saw someone pull a knife or gun? My point being, there are a lot of gaps and we don't know the whole story yet. But, from what I've seen/heard, the RR driver was justified in what he did. I have an open mind and am willing to look at any evidence, even if it doesn't support my current theory.

Yeah, and I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you believe that one! If your friends decide to rob a bank while you happen to be in the car with them, well guess what? Your *** is going to jail. Those guys should be thankful this didn't happen in TX. There would be a lot of dead bikers on the highway and their families would have gotten invoices to pay for the cleanup.

‘Road rage’ biker may be paralyzed | New York Post
For the most part, this backs up the narrative most of us seem to have arrived at. Including slashed tires at one point in the chase.
