And even if he did get off his back and sprout wings, that driver was busy being threatened by roaring motorcycles, angry men surrounding him and advancing on him, he's panicking and fears for his wife and little child and he's supposed to suddenly notice that ONE guy in that melee has now turned into a do-gooder and has a smile on his face?
So what if that one guy was not adding to the threat, the other guys in his group were pressing in, furthering the threat and the driver and his family were being terrorized and still needed to bolt. If that one guy had gone saint that moment despite his long history of law-breaking, how could that driver be expected to know it in that frightening, potentially life-threatening moment? But for that guy that older guy that stepped in, they could have beaten that man to death. Plus, that older guy that intervened said that gang had even opened the poor wife's door and tried to drag
her out but were stopped!!!!!!!!!! From the news coverage, it sounds as if biker gang rides are getting ever more dangerous when you see them taking up the whole highway. I think the taking over the road, riding abreast in all lanes, slowing down and doing teenage bike tricks are what anger people to start with and then the bikers begin to gang up and threaten. That's when car/truck drivers get crazy. It's very serious.
Still, I think those mean mob bikers out to go ride in the worst parts of town where the toughest of the tough gang lords and their gang members live and show off their macho all they want there.
