So because this guy called the cops on a gang of people on bikes acting like idiots he deserves having his car surrounded and his family threatened by a bunch of thugs? Do you intentionally find yourself on the wrong side of everything HBB or are you just trying to be edgy on elf forums?

Guy should have ran over a whole group of them instead of just the guy in front of him.

We don't know what happened prior to those guys breaking in his face. We see 6 minutes of what could have been a 30 minute incident. Unfortunately the way news reports in this country we will probably never get eye-witness accounts of the full story.

I didn't see any immediate danger. Takes a better man to back the fuck off and let idiots be idiots. Rather than to run in and get themselves turned into a hero or martyr at the needless expense of lives.

And I don't advocate pacifism. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I'd run someone over if they threatened my family too. But they'd have to be in the act. Not just threatening.

Trust me I've been in plenty situations where I could have legally stomped someones ass. But exorcised self restraint because it would have been morally wrong. It's the difference between a real hero and someone who just has to make a point.

I don't even flip people off anymore. When I was new to the east coast heading to the store for shopping, I had a guy scare the shit out of me after I flipped him off (he had suddenly pulled in front of me and almost caused an accident). The guy then followed me and when I parked he ran up to my window screaming profanities and just generally being a nutjob. My son was 3 or 4 at the time, strapped into his car seat. All I could do was just apologize even though he was more in the wrong. He calmed down and left so a crisis was averted.

I don't flip people off anymore. Lesson learned.

And if someones being an idiot, that doesn't give you lease to have total disregard for the law and other humans just because you feel a little bit afraid.

TBH I never have been faced with exactly that situation and probably never will. Because I wouldn't be dumb enough to let myself get cornered by angry thugs.

Clearly it wasn't the bikers intent to kill him otherwise he would have been killed.

I doubt he was really afraid as much as angry that someone "threatened him and his family".

Cowardice at its finest when you are making aggressive actions yourself.

Who knows maybe they just wanted to tell him to piss off and drive safely before letting him go. Or hold him till the cops arrived so they could have their side of the story and get him ticketed for tailgating.

You are all making assumptions that aren't apparent to me in the video.

Calling the police is an aggressive action? I would consider being blockaded by 30 people on bikes an aggressive action.
