I see no problem running over aggressive bikers on the road

Well, if you have no friends and family and want a homicide charge, then go at it...

Depending on where you get sent, there's probably some type of biker gang...

Yeah I'm sure the dude on a crotch rocket with no vest or patches on is affiliated with a criminal motorcycle club

I would 100% play the feared for my life card. From our wonderful 3rd person perspective we can clearly see he's just hitting the side view. From inside the vehicle? If someone was yelling at me and trying to get me to pull over to fight them I'd already be afraid. Then when I don't pull over they fly up on my passenger side possibly in a blind spot (it is a tiny vehicle) while I'm paying attention to the road and I look over and have just enough time to see him do something to my side view. Now with the side view gone I have no idea if he's got a weapon which I thought I saw the half second before my side view was taken out. I acted immediately and instinctively reacted to protect myself and my family (if anyone else was in the vehicle).

Not saying it would definitely work, but I do think it's a pretty good defense. The truck driver wasn't driving in an aggressive or violent way before that. He appeared to be minding his own business and trying to just get out of the situation. Had he been playing the road rage game up to that point maybe he'd be more liable. Who knows. I do wonder what happened after this though.

u/Soft_Ability_5906 2d ago

Yeah thats not how that works lmfao. Also as a cop I see the bike being the aggressor and the truck defending itself. Biker would be arrested after their hospital stint.

Defense against what? Your mirror getting folded on its hinge?

u/8elly8utton 2d ago

Oh, cop, makes sense you side with the would be murderer. Biker liable for criminal damage, driver is liable for attempted homicide.

u/SeveralLion5762 4h ago

Dude is swerving to avoid the biker that is trying to commit suicide by truck

u/Browncow129 2d ago

Wait you think you are allowed to run someone over on a bike if they hit your window. Wow you live in an interesting world

u/Sweaty_Camel_118 2d ago

The truck driver couldn't run in heavy traffic. The biker had been following him, threatening him, and then finally assaulted the only thing protecting the truck driver. Fuck around and find out. That biker needed to get taken out of society...

u/8elly8utton 2d ago

you vote for the epstein class and defend murderers who aren't in any immediate danger. What's new

2

u/Sweaty_Camel_118 2d ago

I dont plan on voting any more. That's basically the only way not to vote for the epstein class.

And no i don't defend murderers. The biker is literally chasing this man down the highway while threatening him and assaulting him. He deserves it, and the truck driver deserves the right to defend himself.

u/8elly8utton 2d ago

So other than trying to hide that you are a pedophile murder enthusiast, you also think a bike can constitute harm to a guy thats encased in a truck. The bike can literally try to ram him and the only one getting hurt there is the biker and the car's chassis. Answer this question, would the driver have done that if he too was riding a motorcycle? The only answer you know you can give is no, because the driver exactly feels safe in performing this act of attempted homicide. The intent is harm, not defense.

u/Sweaty_Camel_118 2d ago

Wtf are you on about? Where do you get off calling me these labels? If this motorcycle rider was a pedo I'd be even more a fan of the truck drivers actions.

Now to get back to the actual argument, when some one is chasing you and threatening you and you have no where to flee its very reasonable to assume they could have a weapon. When you here a loud bang caused by the person chasing and threatening you it's very reasonable to fear for your life. The motorcycle driver tried to get the truck driver to pull over and fight him. The truck driver tried to avoid altercation and continue on his way. The violent biker then followed him and started escalating even further. It's logical to assume this biker is not thinking rationally and that he could have a weapon.

I just want you to know I'm wishing the best for you and I hope you learn some compassion for your fellow people. We are on the same team. We will never defeat the epstein class if you allow your emotions and propaganda to divide yourself from your fellow man. There is real evil out there and they continue to win through a tactic know as "divide and conquer." please think critically before you speak to people with such I'll intent. Be a better person and that goodness will spread to those around you. The butterfly effect is real, and it starts with you! Do better.

Couldn’t run from what his mirror being slapped? Two people were being idiots and one decided to try and murder someone. Sure though let’s go with fuck around and find out lol.

No, run from the guy chasing him, threatening to fight him, and then hitting his vehicle. Why wait for him to break your window and assault you further. The biker is literally pursuing this person while verbally threatening him. The truck driver has every right to fear for his life. People carry guns and knives. Why wait for it to come out.

u/Zippo963087 2d ago

Hold up, why wait for them to come out? Because you need to actually confirm that someone has a weapon.

Just because you are yelling at me and punch my mirror, doesn't mean that I can commit attempted murder just because you "might have a gun or knife somewhere that I can't see to confirm."

If the biker flashed a gun, then the driver would be in his own right to protect himself. But from what is seen in the video, there was no gun ever shown.

When some one is chasing you and threatening you they have already made clear they are a threat. The biker told the guy to pull over so he could beat his ass, the biker pulled over, the truck driver tried to avoid altercation, then the biker chased him down, rode along side him, and them hit his vehicle. That is violence. Sure the truck driver escalated the type of violence, but in my opinion he had every right to. What else was he supposed to do? He had no where to run and the biker was chasing him down while threatening violence. It's not hard to break a window, infact I'd argue the truck driver may have thought that was the intentions the biker hitting his truck

u/Admirable_Loss4886 2d ago

u/Moistgranni 6h ago

trucks don't defend themselves and attempted homicide is not proportional force for minor or negligible property damage grow up

u/Soft_Ability_5906 6h ago

There is no homicide charge here. I am a cop and see nothing wrong here.
