The video only starts when the bikers try to stop the SUV.

“You have a pack of bikers that for some reason decide to block this SUV.”

And herein is the open question: why? What happened prior? Did Lien try to run the bikers off the road first? Did he purposefully damage a bike out of spite and the bikers were trying to corral him until the police arrived? Do you know FOR SURE? I don’t, so I’m staying mum.

(BTW, that doesn’t necessarily excuse their actions, but I don’t know the full facts, so in the interest of NOT acting like the press in regards to George Zimmerman, I think I’ll just wait. Apparently some people didn’t learn from that case.)

The original YouTube video posted by the biker showed events leading to the first contact. Mr. Lien was in the center lane on the parkway when one of the bikers pulled right in front of him, looked back and hit his brakes. No matter what transpired prior to that the worst that could have happened was somebody getting cut off. No justification for illegally stopping a vehicle on a public road. The bikers instigated this entire episode.

If I was sitting on a jury, the SUV driver walks. Fortunately, for the victim, his attackers filmed the whole thing and put it on You Tube.

And herein is the open question: why?

Because the thought they were gangsta rappers. Why do you side with them?

There is a bunch more video posted in liveleak that was prior to the incident. These guys were being total asshats running wild all over the streets. I beleive the biker who made contact with the SUV was trying to block traffic so his buddies could come pouring through and it all went bad after that.

“...but I don’t know the full facts, ...

Some of the facts:

Bikers riding on sidewalks

Bikers doing wheelies in traffic

Bikers whitelining OPPOSING traffic

Bikers without tags

Bikers riding in same lane alongside cars
