Range Rover runs over biker(s)

Ok. In all seriousness, does anyone here NOT think the driver of the Range Rover was in fear for his life? He stopped after the asshat in front of him checked up and he hit him. The right thing to do. THEN, other asshats begin to hit his car, the TAKE OUT KNIVES, slashing his tires...

Knives=deadly weapons, and then they try to get to him. I'd call that justification for use of deadly force. And deadly force, as defined, does NOT mean just a gun or knife. I know I sure as hell would use my 3500+lb "bullet" of a truck to get my family out of that situation. If any of them were in the way, that's on them. Not me.

You funny man. My Outback weighs 3,560 lbs and has an aluminum hood and tailgate.A RR is more like 4,800 lbs. The big old Suburbans weighed as much as 5,400 lbs.

With perfect 20/20 hindsight, the best thing he probably good have done was to stay right there in the middle of the highway, with the doors locked. There were a group of cars not far behind and another just ahead.

I disagree. Staying there would have ended badly.

Cause obviously locking the doors worked out so well with that helmet being slammed against his head after it made it through the drivers window.

Though Mieses is a Massachusetts resident, hehas never had a valid Massachusetts driver’s licensefor a passenger vehicle and has never applied for a motorcycle license, the Registry of Motor Vehicles said.

Registry records show that Mieses applied for a learner’s permit in 1999 and 2000, but that he never obtained a full license because he failed to pay fines imposed after he was ticketed for speeding in Lawrence in 1999. His last contact with the Registry was in 2001, when he obtained an identification card, registry records show.

Since 1999, he has been ticketed by police16 times, in Lawrence, Methuen, Roxbury, Andover, and New Hampshire, according to registry records.

In June, the Registry notified the National Driver Register that Mieses was a habitual traffic offender whose right to drive in Massachusetts was revoked until 2017, records show.

But, but, but he's just a victim here!

Excuse me if I don't give a rat fuck about a hood rat that got hurt doing hood rat things.

I wonder if his family thinks THEY would have to pay if their little golden boy hurt someone like they're demanding of the SUV driver.

Totally agree. There is no way I would have stuck around in that situation, even with hindsight being 20/20.

Which way does Bloomie and the like want it? Duty to flee from a dangerous situation or duty to stay and get your ass kicked at best?

Yeah, until they take their helmets off and smash your windows....

[xrocket21]

I wonder if they bought new helmets after smashing windows with them?

[e30addict]

I wonder if they STOLE new helmets after smashing windows with them?

Fixed.

There is true internet gold in a lot of the comments. "Wheezy Meezee" fucking cracked me up. I also liked how someone referred to him as a "non-essential human".

Apparently he went to high school a few miles from my office, and now this is all over the local news too. I wonder how the comments from people who knew him here are going to go...

Something like this has been a long time coming for all these stunt cunts. The sad part is Wheezy wont serve as any kind of example to the other Ryderz who do this stupid shit.

"The real tragedy here is that each one of those bikers was in the process of turning their lives around."

Also, apparently the dude from Lawrence has no license to operate and Ma had declared him a habitual offender and put his name on a nationwide list.

[Stoneman]

And also, I can Monday Morning QB a life/death situation because I went to Iraq and went through a few of my own. And that's the same shit you're doing with the door locking comment.

First & most importantly, mad respect to you for serving our country. I say that whole-heartedly. But I have to ask how much training and at what level of intesity were you trained to make split second life or death decisions? I don't think any of us can accurately say what we would have done. We CAN say what we THINK we may have done. I CAN say that I THINK I'd have done the same thing as the SUV driver. Although once my windows got smashed I'm fairly certain projectiles of certain calibers would have most likely found a target...

I agree entirely.

Yup

Nope, he'll be their martyr though. They'll use him as a battle cry and do these rides in the future as a dedication to him. People like those will NEVER see that they could have very well been the entire cause of this. They can only see themselves as innocent victims. It's the way they think...

"I got jumped"


...by a Range Rover.

[backinthesaddle]

I think the fact that there were other cars close behind wouldn't have been enough to change the situation. Most of us (me included) probably wouldn't get out of our car to help someone we don't know who is being surrounded by a gang that large. In the LA riots Reginald Denny the truck driver was in stopped traffic and who helped him when he was pulled from his truck and beaten? Now one bullet to the first attacker in either this incident or LA might have made the rest of the attackers retreat.

It's worth noting that deadly force is legal in the case of a mob/gang attack even if none of them are armed. They were a mob and armed, I feel bad for the rr driver and his bank account.

That's the law in NY?

Yes, deadly force is justified in the state of NY even if no member of a group/gang is armed with a deadly weapon.

Sorry should have done the I'm not a lawyer don't listen to me caveat. Even in states without a gang mob law disparity of force will be the deciding factor ie. 100# female vs 250# man.
