Title: Breaking News
Post by: pliskin on October 08, 2013, 08:21:14 PM
I just saw on one of the cable news networks (none of which I trust) that the SUV/biker story has changed. Allegedly, the SUV driver cut over from the left lane to the center lane hitting one of the bikers. Then he proceeded to hit a 2nd biker. This all took place before the video we see starts. Then, the first stop happened where the SUV driver gunned it and ran over the biker #3, who was trying to clear the way, severely injuring him. The chase starts and we all know the ending.

As bad as the video looks for the bikers I had a gut feeling there would be another side to the story. We all know how cager's treat bikers. They don't realize how fragile someone riding a bike is. They don't give a second thought to putting us in harm. Would the SUV driver have acted the same way had it been a bunch of road racing cars pulling shenanigans? I doubt it. This is why I give the benefit of doubt to the bikers.

Still, I think the bikers may have created a bad situation. I don't think they targeted a car driver for no reason. Why would they? I think it's a prime example of road rage. Created by bikers and escalated by the SUV driver, and finished by bikers.

well well well.... a driver answering a cliched racial type that cant drive , now 'allegedly' swerved into the bikes before the main show....

im with you on this pliskin.... heard a lot about the rider 'group' on the web etc ... but they dont seem to just randomly target someone.... of course sometimes it might be for a minor perceived infraction against them.... but like you .. i had a slight feeling that old mate in the SUV wasnt all snowy white and innocent like the media was trumpeting!!  :icon_rolleyes:

itsnt it amazing tho, like ht erodney king video of times past, we only see a segment of a video?, would like to see if there is more. there quite possibly is, the bikers could be the culprit, so could the suv driver. if HE is to blame. he is a fool for putting the family into harms way. If youre goin targeting, drop the family off first THEN go do it.
