He wasn't committing assault, they just happened to be in the way when he was making his escape. Which is also why the driver won't be charged.

This guy that decided to mow down a few asswipes with his SUV just because he could was committing assault with a deadly weapon. All these cheerleaders on this thread seem to blow this off.............

It is much more than that. They were not just “in the way”. By being where they were, and doing what they were doing, they were part of a conspiracy to kidnap and assault. All of the hundreds of outlaw motorcycle riders in the video should be found and charged with conspiracy to attempt murder.
It was completely illegal to block the guy in and attempt to force entry to his vehicle. What people are calling a “brake check” is essentially the start of a kidnapping. At the minimum, given nothing else, it is obstruction of traffic.
I call it a kidnapping, because what else do you call it when people limit your movements to the point that you must either resist them with force, or submit to their will to stay where they want you to stay? That is kidnapping.
