The Manhattan DA’s office won’t press charges against one of the motorcycle thugs who allegedly terrorized and beat a man after a wild chase on the West Side Highway, and is reluctant to prosecute another, sources said Wednesday. Allen Edwards, 43, of Queens, who allegedly smashed Alexian Lien’s rear driver’s side window with his fist, surrendered to cops Tuesday morning but will not be charged, the sources said.

Nope, I’m not illiterate. I’m also not a dumbass defending a bunch of thugs that carved up and beat an innocent suv driver.
I wished that hispanice thug was killed.
You are disgusting taking up from criminal behavior.
Did you view the liveleak videos? I did, most of them.
These evil hispanic thugs were terrorizing hundreds of drivers.
These evil hispanic thugs were going against traffic between lanes -- terrorizing drivers.
These evil hispanic thugs were driving on sidewalks almost hitting people.
These evil hispanic thugs were running dozens of red lights.
Any one who takes up for these evil hispanic thugs deserves contempt.
If you did see the various liveleak videos and still think they are joy riding then you need your head examined.
“In my opinion the Chinese guy panicked in a situation I would have handled without setting off this mayhem”
I doubt that. I think you would have had your ass kicked too.
Only worse. You would have tried to “negotiate” in the
beginning when you were in a secluded area. Unless you
were packing heat, they would have thumped you out and
had their way with your wife and kid. That’s just plain
dumb. If this ever happens to you, do us a favor and
practice what you preach and then, if you can, tell us
how it all turned out.
“with some accounts saying a black individual used his helmet to break SUV windows”
Apparently you have not watched the video of him dropping bike, dropping his helmet, picking up his helmet and smashing the window with his helmet?
Prove to me that the SUV was being attacked early on. It was surrounded by surly bikers but was not attacked. I would have waited them out or drove skillfully and accurately out of the situation at 20 mph and then faster
I most certainly would not have run over a bikers legs like the stupid SUV driver did!!! This is what set everything off.
At end of the whole affair? When Chinese guy was beaten up so severely that he was admitted then released from the hospital? Wow what injuries!!!! Wake up!
In NC you cannot ride atvs on a public road and motorcycles have to be registered (license plates). NY is a strange place to say the least. No concealed weapons allowed, but you don’t have to register motor vehicles. At lest most of the ones I saw in that video were without tags.
I don’t know what caused the suv driver to hit the bike in front of him.
From the video, the motorcyclist drifts into the SUV’s lane, then he (the motorcyclist) looks back, not at the SUV that is directly behind him, but back into the lane he just left.
Then it appears he slows significantly for whatever reason and the SUV hits him.
It’s hard to say if the SUV driver hit him on purpose. If it were just he and the SUV on the road, the maybe I’d say the SUV driver should have slowed even if the biker shouldn’t have drifted into his lane.
But think about when you’re in heavy traffic with just cars on a multilane road. You’re probably concentrating on the car in front of you, and peripherally watching one or two cars in the adjoining lane. What is that, 3 to 5 objects you’re actively tracking?
When you’re surrounded with motorcycles as this SUV was, the driver then has to track nearly double the number of vehicles, and the bikes weren’t exactly flowing along with traffic so he only had to watch for the vehicles that suddenly altered speed. They were all moving around forward and back, left and right. It’s not inconceivable that the SUV driver was distracted by bikers to his left and/or right for the brief period of time it took for the bike to pull into his lane and slow down - the SUV driver may not even had time to react once he realized which target was the immediate problem.
The now-disabled biker is the son of a pastor of a small Bible congregation.
Apparently he was on FB asking for prayers for justice for his son, and a number of people commented along the lines of:
"You raised a son who stood by and cheered as a gang of thugs attacked an innocent family? He refused to come to their defense? What kind of justice was that? What kind of pastor are you?"
Ridiculous!! Chinese guy is out of the hospital after just an hour or two to treat superficial “injuries”. No broken bones even!!!
The hospital will send him a bill for $10 for mercurochrome
Thank you. Facts 1, 2 and 3 help explain why the West Side Highway appeared to be so uncharacteristically empty of traffic. The video certainly confirms a number of the bikers involved were clearing the road of additional traffic.
“Prove to me that the SUV was being attacked early on. It was surrounded by surly bikers but was not attacked.”
Video shows it was attacked.
This kid is also listed as aspiring rapper...I kid you not. He is black Hispanic unlike George Zimmerman
“I would have waited them out or drove skillfully and accurately out of the situation at 20 mph and then faster”
Ha ha ha. That’s BS. The first thing you would have done
is crap your pants. There is no way you would have done
any different. Unless of course you are as stupid as what you
are posting. Not saying your stupid but common sense is
against you on this one but hay, bleed on.
nope
“Prove to me that the SUV was being attacked early on.”
Prove that it wasn’t.
You’re crapping your pants (steaming load) just from reading this thread. But do carry on!
Why not head to NY in your SUV or AMC Pacer to engage with these vibrant bike riders? Lets us know what happens.
“Police, meanwhile, are zeroing in on two other suspects, including the one who slashed Lien, sending him to the hospital for stitches.”
“The video, the source said, shows the biker in the chrome helmet throwing the terrified dad to the ground and stomping on his head.”
If you read the article you would know that having your face and chest slashed with a knife, and your head stomped isn’t ‘minor injuries’!
Why are you being such a dumbass about this, are you one of the bikers?
“nope”
According to video and police reports. SUV had damage that was NOT caused in second attach.
Don’t be stupid. The man was in and out of the hospital in two hours
