I have been surprised that even on squid forums such as gixxer.com there is a great amount of common sense on this one, just like in this thread. It's a shame that my local riding forum has a great many who are supporting the bikers with great ignorance.

We don’t know what went before the video starts but whatever that was the outcomes are poor all round.
There is a guy who was not directly stopping the car who gets run over and is reportedly crippled for life as a result. That seems an extreme outcome for not much stupidity to me.
Several guys who were little more than onlookers get their bikes trashed, less extreme but hardly a punishment fitting their crime. When younger I went on lots of ride outs and group meets and I’m sure we held up a lot of driving folk. I would have been pissed if someone ran my bike over in frustration, very pissed indeed.
The car chase aspect is classic group think and exactly what crowds everywhere do. Once this thing had momentum the outcome was always going to be an unhappy one.
The guy/s attacking the car. Well there is no excuse for that but think just for a moment. If that guy laying on the road possibly dead was your best mate what would you have done?? Me – probably I would be there with him trying to save life but watching a friend being (nearly) killed can do strange things to people.
Just bloody sad all round.

Those clowns have no regard for the law and seem to get away with riding all over the place through red lights up the side walk

I told him that I know he rides, why are you being so stupid. He says that he doesn't ride anymore.
His excuse was that I cut him off. I called it passing him. Either way I know I scared the shit out of him by following and aproaching his slobbishness.
Motorcyclists are all the same, they think they can do whatever the fuckthey want to. Until they get squished like a bug. Then its all' " I wasn't doin nothin wrong Judge"
Makes the term " team player" take on a whole new meaning. You wont see me joining any of those "teams".
Safety in numbers should also relate to the number of tyres and the number of pounds those tyres are propelling. I'll take an SUV over a bike in a squish contest even if the bike has a fatass cunton the back.

I ride thousands of miles a year on various motorcycles. I am a very respectful person and rider. I have been threatened, cussed out, yelled at, harassed, and called a "fook" cuz I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. I am also a dirt bike rider, same deal. They hate us. Why?... Because we are "non-conforming", we are the so-called "risk takers" of society. We make Mr.SUV worry about the size of his dick and his place in the world. I say, Fook him and his limp dick!
I don't have a lot of sympathy for dick-heads and their snot nosed kids in SUV's... sorry. No one died.
This is how the hatred and fear for motorcycles and their riders started...
"On July 4 1947, 4,000 'straight-pipers' rode into Hollister. Their plan was to spend the long weekend partying and watching the races, but the partying got a little out of control. Even the local police admitted that the bikers "did more harm to themselves than they did to the town" but the press blew the story out of proportion. When the events were dramatized by Hollywood in 'The Wild One', America's image of motorcycling changed forever. Now you can read what really happened, in the words of people who were really there."

Not enough for me to happily endorse running them over, that's for sure.
Here's earlier incident mind you:

I love it how the police are quoted as saying "the tyre was slashed so the driver fled in fear". He was driving pretty fast for having a slashed tyre. My guess is the other bikers probably started yelling and knocked on the SUV, which is pretty normal for NYC, and the dude just freaked thinking oh crap im getting sued for hitting this guy better make a run for it, park and hide in my million dollar condo in upper Manhattan.

Ive met and was always being asked to join the groups of people who would go on these rides. They're ruthless, gangsters, druggies, losers etc. They have no respect for the law or others. Some of you need to reevaluate your lives with the outlooks you're sharing

Yes to all the chav hating, benefit cheating, layabout scum piss taking comments. Poking fun at the feckless, hopeless, lazy, usually poor often brain dead twats is always a good time. I have spent many a happy evening looking down on them with my mates and suggesting solutions usually involving mincing machines, napalm or worse. The outrage is tempered by the knowledge that with the passing of time the joys of nylon sportswear, posh trainers, tattoo’s and benefit fraud usually give way to a dull monotonous and mostly joyless existence of sucking lager and dying early.
Not really sure what that has to do with a spot of mob violence though? I doubt all those blokes stole their bikes, some might actually have jobs and families themselves, pay taxes and be reasonable human beings when not chasing innocent motorists.
The critique of this incident is much more interesting to me than the incident itself.
Big groups of people (yes even bikers) behave in ways that they never would as individuals and most are sheep following blindly in group think mode – Is anybody actually surprised by that?
Bad shit happens to good people somewhere every minute of every day – can that be news to anybody here?
It’s funny what we chose to care about. Perhaps it’s just what’s on camera and if it happens to people like us in a place we know it’s news.
Idiots exist everywhere and come in two, four and no wheeled varieties. Plenty of idiots on display in that video and a lifetime of sadness for some caught up in it.
Right back to the 1290 SD and consideration of all the law abiding, non threatening or antisocial behaviour that wonderful new machine will encourage.....

Now the gang members have celebrity lawyers representing them. The fancy lawyers wouldn't get involved in the case unless they knew they could score a huge paycheck.
