BMW driver recounts run-in with NYC bike gang: ‘They’re going to kill us’
NY Post ^ | December 30, 2020 | Larry Celona and Aaron Feis

Posted on 12/30/2020 4:24:56 PM PST by BlueStateRightist

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.”

That's right.

I have the forever cure for these violent punks.

RIOT GUNS.

You notice that these punks only exist in democrat cities where they know they are protected.

If they pulled that crap here they would be unmarked worm food.

All the folks in those big cities got both, what they voted for and what they deserve.

Enjoy your lawless democrat paradise.

Curtis also said the cops have been told to stand down because Wilhelm wants these lawless gangs to be left alone. Logical conclusion: the card carrying commie mayor is enjoying the destruction of NYC.

I am familiar with their nighttime drunken bicycle rides in other cities.

Oh, please. Again: “Torgovnick and his mom had just dropped off a donation to Housing Works — a nonprofit helping fight homelessness and the AIDS crisis.” And in a borough that votes 85% Democrat in every election. Use your analytical skills, just a little. I lived in NYC for 22 years. I know a Democrat there when I see one.

Yes. Very true; I poorly worded my comment; you are spot on to catch that. >;{

This is why we have concealed carry or open carry laws in much of the US. One round in the chest of one of these Perps would have stopped the attack.

Hey, Warriors. Sorry we tried to get you killed all night. Here’s a Joe Walsh song. Hope that makes up for everything.

There is a video of a guy in the middle of the street with a shotgun. He had already shot two people and was shooting at a cop by his squad car.

Another cop in his SUV arrives at the scene at a fairly fast speed. He sees the guy with the shotgun and speeds up and hits him dead center. Keeps going another block to respond to the injured people.

I can’t believe it has been 7 years since this video of the large group of motorcycles/ bikers attacked the family in a Range Rover.

Pro-tip: Beware Mercedes Ruehl sitting alone on a park bench. Oh but that one guy never listened.

I mean, we can’t close our eyes to the plight of the cities.

Kids, you noticing all this plight?

This will just make us appreciate what we have.

*gunshot* *scream*

Roll ‘em up!
