[quote=no_such_reality][quote=ucodegen][quote=FlyerInHi]In the NYC incident, what if a biker had a gun and shot the driver because he “feared for his life” after then driver ran over the other guy?
Btw, I have several guns.[/quote]BTW, I drive a big freakin truck powered by a drag boat engine (big block). All the biker had to do is call it in. Put some throttle to the bike and the Range Rover couldn’t catch them. It would be harder to outrun my truck. Look up ‘Farm Truck’ on youtube. That is what old bigblocks are like when unleashed or tuned. That old red truck is his daily driver, his dog runs shotgun.
By the way, if you instigate a conflict, you can’t then kill claiming you feared for your life. And again, the biker has the option of applying throttle. The defense/fear for ones life needs to be plausible.[/quote]
Mease, the crippled biker, wasn’t breaking any laws and didn’t start any conflict. There is no law against bikes riding together. The police only denied them a permit for Times Square.[/quote]Associating with those committing a criminal act, while committing a criminal act is illegal. There is no law against bikes riding together. Standing in front of a vehicle, preventing it from moving on the highway is illegal.. and you better have a very good reason to do it, ie. the driver was drunk (I wouldn’t stand in front of a drunk drivers car). There are a lot of anti-gang laws that can be applied. Add to it, lack of license, blocked from getting a license till 2017, never had motorcycle license, no license plate on motorcycle.. he is pretty well done.
[quote=no_such_reality]Mease did confront Lein, while riding, Mease stopped after any after an accident to render assistance to a downed and injured motorcyclist. Obviously Mease was thinking appropriate, because there were off duty police officers in the group and they weren’t reporting anything.[/quote]He claims.. problem is that he has a habit of not telling the truth. The problem is that the group he was with was committing a illegal if not criminal act. The other problem is that the lookback on the video shows that the biker in white with black jacked was not hit – the Range Rover had hit its brakes hard. I suspect you have never had a vehicle ride up on your rear tire when riding a motorcycle. You stop instantly because on a high clearance vehicle, the vehicle can ride up on top of the motorcycle tire. The tire is now pinched between the road and SUV. It wants to stop turning at that point (back of motorcycle tire travels up and top of tire travels uproad, helping the SUV bumper ride up on top of the tire).
NOTE: Note bumper height on a high clearance vehicle is not the same as on a car.
