The BMW driver whose ride was surrounded and trashed by a gang of bicyclists on Fifth Avenue was attacked in broad daylight while driving with his elderly mom — who screamed during their escape, “We’re going to die, they’re going to kill us!” 
Max Torgovnick, 36, recounted the harrowing run-in to The Post one day after it unfolded around 4 p.m. Tuesday at 21st Street and Fifth Avenue. 
“It’s something that I never expected to happen in New York City,” said Torgovnick, a lifelong city resident. “That’s something like you would see on the streets of a war zone. I never thought New York would get this bad.”

    Another Biden/DiCommio voter hoisted on his own petard. Funny how he "never expected" this to happen in NYC, especially when a similar event occurred on the West Side Highway only 7 years ago. Selective amnesia. No doubt, he'll one day leave NYC and vote Marxist wherever he ends up.

    They’ll soon move to a Southern state and continue voting Democrat.

    Max Torgovnick, 36 and his elderly mother are invited to move to a safer state so long as they go through a re-education process to remove any vestiges of being Democrats and Socialists.
Otherwise, Max and mama can continue to enjoy living in a Democrat Socialist State.

     “That’s something like you would see on the streets of a war zone. I never thought New York would get this bad.”  Wakey, wakey! 
 You’ve been living in a war zone for years. It’s just that the press and your elected leaders have been hiding that fact from you. 
 Oh, and since you haven’t been paying attention, your elected leaders have been taking the side of the people that are trying to kill you. 
 Okay, you can go back to sleep again, if you can.

    Maybe it was the “Defund the Police” sticker on his bumper that drew their attention.

    The gutless moron was siting inside a 2-ton weapon....under obvious life-threatening circumstances....and he just sits there?
After making a few “cyclist” pancakes...I would have gotten out and wrapped those bikes around the necks of any that were stupid enough not to run.

    In his telling of the story he is blameless, almost saintly.

    Heaven help you if you get caught in a Friday Night "Critical Mass" bike ride in San Francisco. You can be stuck at an intersection forever.

    I would have burned through two clips on these morons. You might be out on bail now, but you'll spend 200 grand on lawyers before you're clear.
