I heard about this incidence earlier this week, just went through the various videos and news articles as well as the posts on this thread.
1. The initial contact was intentional on the part of the now arrested biker Christopher Cruz. Video evidence is solid here. He break checked the SUV hard, forcing contact. Rest of the biker gang then started to crowd around the SUV to intimidate. The tire slashing occurred here as well.
2. Actual intent of the break check to draw contact is not known. Two possibilities, one is simply they were annoyed he did not move to the side of the road and allow the “Hollywood Stuntz” crew to own the entire highway, the other possibility was they targeted him for a shake down fee because of the luxury SUV.
3. There was zero evidence that Lien actively provoked the bikers. Also zero evidence that Lien previously drove around provoking cyclists.
4. Plenty of video evidence of past behaviors of intimidating drivers as well as reckless stunts and shutting down the public roadway for their own pleasure on the part of the same Hollywood Stuntz crew.
5. Public opinion is OVERWHELMINGLY in favor of Lien and his family. The comments on the facebook page “justice for jay meezee” are about 95% pro-Lien.
6. The police so far are completely on the side of Lien as the victim. They fully understand he was in FEAR and had every right to do what he did. They are continuing to search for more arrests involving the biker gang.
7. The bystanders were the true heros. While Lien was being pulled out of the SUV, his wife and child were in the process of getting pulled out by the bikers. The bystanders saved them and ultimately saved Lien. New Yorkers do come to each other’s aid afterall.
8. The low lifes will bully and intimidate when they can, but when they are down they will play victims. That’s just how low lifes work. Here, elsewhere, past and present. That’s not going to change.
9. There will always be attorneys willing to represent low lifes. That Gloria Allred stepped up to the plate should suprise no one.
10. Race, politics, Faux News, liberals vs conservatives play zero role in this story.
