The bikers do come off as retarded but that car driver attempted to murder them. He's very lucky someone didn't get too emotionaly heated and pull a gun.

Attempted murder may have justified a gun

That kind of idiotic riding certainly was a big factor in the situation. All motorcyclists lose credibility when scenes like this are videoed. Driver should be heavily charged.

Shyt like that happens the pigs tell you to just back off and let them go on there way or to record there license plate and report them. Now if the cage driver doesn't back off then you have a right to defend yourself in certain states. Now had the driver not backed off and sideswipet me I would have pulled in the clutch and pulled out the .40!

Love the use of the word "pigs." Just got called a pig yesterday, twice. Classy.

Those riders were assholes. The driver was wrong to do what he was doing, but as posted above, video like that does nothing to help the image of responsible riders..

That's crazy but in NC you can't fire into a vehicle, CCW or not. Once they were stopped and yelling for him to get out, I hope they dragged him out and beat that man. The riders were not dicks because I would follow you too, after multiple attempts to hit me.

Why? Do you weigh 350lbs and shove donuts in your face, are vulgar to women or was it because you violate people's civil rights because you carry a badge and a gun? Wait! Do you have a pig-like snout like the Dr. in that Twilight Zone episode "The Eye of the Beholder"? Just trying to find out why someone would be so mean to you.

Yeah, kinda sucks when a roadside badass rolls into court and you ask the officer if he's cool with something and he says, "well, he cussed at me for half an hour, wrote 'fvck you' on the IC form, and then insulted my wife."
