Group of NYC bicyclists attack BMW in broad daylight, wild video shows

What would you do if this happened to you?

Pull out my 9mm at first notice of damage to my property or persons.

(I also suspect mods will shut this down out of sensitivity to reality lol)

It's only a base X5 too. It didn't even have the ugly front grille.

What the hell is wrong with people (kids) today? The driver should have just driven away and hit as many of those criminals as possible. It's what I would have done.

Would have been hysterical to toss it in reverse just as that thug jumped up for the windshield.
Sad that a 36 yr old in NYC obviously has no clue about how to get himself out of this scenario.

Hopefully he sues the city for not having enough police to patrol and to stop it

These days you'd be the start of a new round of rioting and protests, fired from your job, quickly doxxed, your house firebombed, and you'd have to move. Maybe even change your name.

I certainly don't condone that behavior but I'm guessing there was more to the story than we know about. I find it hard to believe a base X5 would instigate a response like that from just minding it's own business, especially with occupants inside.

I'd take that chance, thats the problem, if more folks pushed backed and stopped this, it would end. (cops are not "policing" as much anymore)

WTF is this attitude that we must just take violence and damage to our property because of a group mob ? (this happens all the time in southern gun states, stopping robberies etc...but northern non guns states worry about this stuff)

No what will happen, if this continues, is Civil war.

That is extreme.
But how does such a large group of kids get so organized?
Is it a gang?

Possibly. But at the moment, that's also the mentality of the other side. Ie, why they're rioting against police brutality and such. They see it the same way - "if more of us pushed back and stopped this, it would end."

And right now, they have the momentum. You'd get steamrolled, lambasted in the media, etc unless you belonged to a "protected class", in which case it would depend on your ability to navigate and compete in the Oppression Olympics.

To be fair, they have some very valid criticisms as well, even if I think the current national sentiment is disproportionate.

Absolutely, and I think we have a ways to go...but violence begets violence. Wonder why Seattle didn't happen in Dallas ? or Miami ? They were mostly peaceful there..of course they didn't get the media attn..soooo

I always said, I pray those types of "protests" didnt get to suburbs or gun states, the response would have been different.

Of course, for the most part, they ended Nov 3rd.

Welcome to NYC. These young teens usually are out on bicycles in large groups 25+ (have seen some over 100) and they ride around like they own the streets. The smart thing to do is just let them do their thing, pull over, stop etc cuz they have nothing to lose. This guy probably wasn't letting them through or honked at them or something - lose/lose scenario.

The next step up is the late teens in the ATVs/dirtbikes shutting down roads.

That reminds me....might be time to get the hell outta here....

As mentioned earlier I would call upon the power this BMW has and leave the area. The police are not at fault here, what is missing is respect. This starts with the parents, the schools and the justice system not to mention the current political atmosphere.

I was going to say almost exactly what you posted...plus they could outrun any cop on their bikes and splitting into multiple groups.

Remember the bikers who got run over by that cop in the Land Rover I think on the West Side highway back some years ago and it was all on video?

Put the car in gear and ease very slowly forwards or backwards (10mph or less). I'd try not to injure anyone in doing so. My cars have insurance, so I would not get angry or react emotionally. Just get out of there without hurting anyone.

Even in this thread it's clear there are some emotionally fragile folks who take strong offense to harm towards their property, to the point of wanting to cause physical injury to others. It's just a car. If you can get out of the situation without harming other people, but you'd choose to hurt someone else physically.. it says a lot about why the US is such an awful place.

The "they damaged my BMW I would kill as many of them as I could" is pathetic.

The kids used their bikes as weapons, how would the police react if the driver did the same? What about the NYC motorcyclists that chased an SUV on the interstate and then on a side street? They trashed the SUV then rode off. I saw large groups riding four wheelers around my building in downtown Atlanta, they shut down intersections, did wheelies and then rode away. It's the mob mentality and will disperse quickly if police show up.

somebody is causing damage to your property & may possibly have the intent to hurt you and the thing you're most concerned about is how you could be considerate to that person?

Problem is, there is a large section of this country that believes this. We are divided, basic fundamental individual responsibilities, accountability and respect...thats on the person.

Hope some on here don't ever have a mob in front of their house, and have to take wife and kids to Ihop while it burns (that happened, too many times) I mean its just a house ? Insurance right ?

I also said I would protect my family with 9mm, never said I'd just start shooting (I take my conceal carry very seriously)...I assume they'd stop and move on.

#WeAreDivided (this simple lil exercise/thread shows how much)

Take care and stay safe
