[quote=KIBU]This turned into a political discussion about the unfortunate incident. Instead of figuring out about the reality of this intimidating driving, bullying phenomenon, people again state their political ideas.

Agreed. My bad..

It is not a race issue either. I am an Asian American but I do not care if Liam was an Asian or not. It is equally bad if an African American, White, Red, or who the heck was in that SUV. The bikers were doing all they could to intimidate the car driver with implications of threat to the life of the car’s occupants. I am not sure most of us would not turn panic in that situation and decided to defend ourselves by running away. Unfortunately, even to run away from this crowd was in itself blocked intentionally by many bikers closely surrounding the car.

This is where I respectfully disagree here…I would be just as horrified that this happened to anyone as well as you..
But my beef is the way the media circus *cough*
CNN *cough* earlier was trying to spin things (until they actually removed it after dozens or so of us complained about it)..One of which was “Biker attack video: Who is the real victim? – CNN.com”…Ways that were completely unimaginable. Reading it sounded nothing like journalism but instead the National Enquirer. There was even a nice gem of a quote from a “witness” ” the SUV was driven by a Chinese madman”…Ok..So excuse the asian driving jokes aside here. And excuse the person who said it. CNN editors don’t have an issue with running quote like that? Really? Wait, CNN constantly run articles about ethnic diversity and racial sensitivity..And here is same organisation that doesn’t know any better at a time of a horrific event? This isn’t the National Enquirer. It’s suppose to be CNN. And it happened a few times. Not just once.
Funny thing is if you try to go to the link now, it goes to suddenly a “cleaned” up version that now actually just points to real factual news reporting after several of us bitched about it to the editors…finally…
Anyway, whatever… Folks are right. My bad for calling this issue up in this context of this event…It seems to come up during these events, and, who am I to think a little sensitivity of supposedly respectable news organizations would be the appreciated by the folks who were victims in this crime, you know, just in case they were meandering in the news during their recovery.

Reading up to here, we still have not said about where the hell were the police on that long and lawless drive??? Their 911 response should be a big concern to address.[/quote]
I’m more interested in the undercover cop(s) that were part of the ride that are all lawyered up.
