Motorcycle gang attack. What would you have done?

[Intercooler]

   Anyone catch the story on the news? At the end the window was busted out and I believe the driver was dragged out and beaten. Interesting question... what would you have done?

Sad part is there were off duty cops in the bike group.

Video stops at the window breaking. Make sure to look at the beginning which was the start of it all.

I know exzactly what I'd do     As I notice the group approaching, I would put on my right blinker with the flow of traffic approach the farthermost right lane or parking lane, stop put on my emergency blinkers, wait a bit, after they all pass then continue with my business.

Not a bad choice but given what we have here???

That's the big city's for ya. Grew up in one. Did not realize what a waste of time and stress till I left it.

I still don't understand why those idiots slowed down and tried to block the SUV's path in the first place. From what I can see, they became the aggressors early on,  leaving him no choice but to defend his family and himself. If that had been me, with my wife and daughter, those cowards would have gotten to see what the undercarriage of an 8000lb Dodge 4x4 looked like.

  As soon as the driver of the SUV used his vehicle as a weapon and ran over a motorcyclist  he became the aggressor.  In my State if you are the aggressor in an altercation, you cannot use "self defense" or "Fear for your life" as cause to use deadly force.

I got the feeling from looking at that video the driver of the SUV was in a panic (fear) and was trying to get away.

What would I do? I would protect my family.

[Steve4102]

  Yes, I would protect my family as well, but running over a Human being on a Motorcycle is not an Option in my Play Book.

I am not saying he did the right thing there either. I thought the question was geared toward when the SUV got stopped in traffic off the highway. If someone is bashing my car window in with a motorcycle helmet, I have to think of my family's safety at that point.

I'm not sure I see an ethical difference between using your gun to defend against a grave threat, versus using your car to do the same thing.  Guns and cars are both lethal weapons.  In either case, it boils down to whether or not you are using the most reasonable means available to you to avoid being killed or gravely wounded by an unprovoked attacker.

The guys on the bike were the initial aggressors. They brace checked the rover to try and stop traffic so they could "stunt" on the highway. Once he mistakingly bumped them they became aggressive and hostile. He was surrounded on all sides by thugs and shitums. He attempted to get himself out of a bad situation. One guy got run over..too bad. These guys are all scumbags and perps. Trust me i live in and police these same areas. They are nothing but trouble. Had it been me in that car with my family  and they attempted to remove me from said vehicle well then somebody would have taken rounds. They are not looking to discuss....they are looking for violence and trouble. As far as the off duty cops there...they should be ashamed and relieved of duty
