what a ......... you never touch a motorcycle, no matter what the monkey in front of you is doing...
see a biker group (squids or harleys) around you? hit the emergency lights and let them move ahead ASAP!!!
how in hell did he think he could get away from the bikers?
godspeed to the ones that were killed!
Only in America!
Jokes a side, the guy was with his wife and kids and the rider stopped suddenly in front of him catching him off guard and being sorrounded by a mob like that does not help when they wanted to attack him first.
A person in his right mind will try to escape, you never know what that mob would do and not being racist they all appeared to be black and they do not have such a good reputation on bikes any way.
The driver should have called the police while on the run and had driven to the police station instead but if you are worried that much the brain stops working and all you do is panic.

Next time do that to a mob in your car with your wife and kids inside and see how would you react when your attacked first. Did you notice none of them had a Ducati? Please don't give Ducati riders a bad name by agreeing to the criminal act commited by the mob otherwise people may as well call you a ''worthless piece of ....''.
+1 - I'm a rider and I still wouldn't take my chances with a group like that. Imagine how non-riders feel? In VA this could have been "Citizen with slightly damaged land rover held for questioning in death of 15+1 squids". Let's be thankful nobody was hurt..sorry if I see things a bit differently here. . the guy apparently did stop. . we don't know what happened there, but if some ..... brake checked in front of me and I hit him, I'd probably stop and stay in the car. If there were "thugs" beating around the car to get to me and my family (it says wife and young kid), I would be calling 911 and driving the car out of there as well. . . If you think I'm hanging around while a bunch of these people break into the car, try to drag my family out of the car to beat me - you're crazy.. .
On top of that - in many states, you try that .... and someone might pull something out and defend themselves properly. . ..
agree with mali above there.. . One misplaced (or well placed) blow can kill you. Outside of the initial contact of accidentally hitting the bike (which I can see), everything else would have been an escalation and I'm pretty sure it was escalated by the mob mentality.

You know, before I started riding I would have thought that the riders were the wrong, but now I have a new understanding of motorist vs motorcyclist... I have found that people will go out of their way to kill you... The range Rover driver was probably getting pissed off at the biker "punks" and I'm sure hit the 1st guy on purpose, hoping they would all disperse and go away
