But according to the police (from witness statements), it was when everything was stopped after the initial collision that the SUV's tires were slashed and there was some damage done to the SUV, causing the SUV driver to continue on, and that's when he ran over the guy trying to help his friend.
the guy that you see dismount and walk over to the guy that is down, is the innocent victim who went to aid. He is the guy that will never walk again by all accounts.
yeah I read that, it does not jive with the following six minuets of video that shows this vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. I dont see flat tires or dents, I dont see guys beating on the SUV until the second event
I'd like to see video where you clearly see this. I've driven on shredded tires for as long as that guy has driven with one (or multiple) allegedly slashed tires. I don't see how you can see what's going on around the SUV. I know I sure can't from the video. I can barely make out the front of the car, let alone the other three sides. When you get a chance, please do post the video you have. Thanks!
at around the five minuet mark you can clearly see three tires in perfect working order. The only tire not visible is the passenger front. That tire was perfectly fine as the driver runs over the rider in the first few second of the video.

Have you driven a car with slashed tires before? The car was only stopped for a few seconds. They very well could have been slashed and leaking slow. I'm not saying they were slashed at that point. I'm just saying I have no evidence to prove that they are or are not slashed. All I have is what's being reported. The video doesn't offer much conclusive help.
I can without reserve state that they were all holding air during the video after the driver claims that they were slashed. Yes I have driven on a flat tire, in fact that is another reason I question the validity. I drove a short distance and shredded a tire, that was at a low rate of speed. There is no possible way that that guy could drive at a high rate of speed on a n expressway for as long as he did without destroying the tire in its entirety. The surest proof of the statement would have been the point of failure, loss of complete or partial control accompanied by lots of sparks.
got ya, factory tires are run flat. You think that on a 2000 model year vehicle that those are still in place? The costs of run flat tires are twice the costs of regular tires. In my experience those are one of the first service items to get short cut.
In Oregon, when your life or others are threatened, you are justified in using whatever deadly force you deem necessary to end the threat. As the police reported in the link you never read, THE BIKERS WERE ALREADY ATTACKING THE SUV, BREAKING WINDOWS AND SLASHING TIRES BEFORE THE SUV RAN OVER ANYONE.
I read this link after you posted it. I do not agree with it is my entire arguement, and have given many reasons why. How in gods name could I be at odds with the damn peice if I had not read it? Maris, even when you jest logic is in play..use it.
I've driven on two slashed tires almost a half-hour before they just exploded and gave way. Just sayin'. Was 18 and it's the only time in my life (since I was a baby, anyway) that I nearly shat myself. The tow company was the first to say my tires slashed. The po-po, me, everyone else assumed I hit something on the road. Sure enough, surveillance from a gas station I'd been at was the proof. Some lil mexi-nugget (call me racist, I don't care - he was like 17 and the size of my 5-year old daughter now) slashed my tires simply for fun.
Flat tires or not (that ain't my debate), that ain't the point. My point is that I'm not surprised dude was scared given how many peeps there were and how at least was bat-shit retarded. None of this happens without the stupidity of Douche Magouche slapping his brakes. He's the one that deserved harm, if anyone (I wish harm on nobody, but it seems that if anyone gets harmed, it should be the moron the causes the melee, no?).
I won't be surprised. Just like how the Trayvon Martin case played out - bowing to pressure through media. But I bet it's a much lighter charge than you'd typically see in such a case, simply for the fear factor and the fact some douche on a bike caused it, not the SUV driver.
Sorry you don't like the facts of the case but numerous eye witnesses are in agreement that the attack was unprovoked and extremely violent. You weren't there. They were. Defending these POS would be murderers smells of trolling.
Just re-posting this cuz I thought people would get it after Maris first posted the quotes from an article. I was wrong. I gave the people here too much credit.
