this is a sad tale of escalation.
1. riders dominating highway, likely impeding cages (cars to riders) freedom to drive (my speculation, but certainly consistent with report).
2. rover guy gets pissed and yells obscenities (from press report).
3. rider gets pissed and slows down in front of rover (beginning of vid).
4. rover guy hits bike.
5. all bikers stop around rover, likely intimidation (second part my speculation).
6. rover guy over reacts and runs over a few bikes and 'gets away'.
7. bikers tail and follow off highway.
8. rover stops at stop light.
9. bikers get off bikes and smash window (end of vid).
10. bikers pull out father/husband and beat him in front of family.
my view. both sides share blame, hard to make real call here as both sides had opportunity to back off and neither did. good thing no one here had a gun or it probably would have ended worse. (dare i start a gun control thread here.. ;-))
i will say this about driving/road rage tho... i live in boston and travel a lot to NYC, Detroit, and SF. i've seen the broadest range of driving (from conservative to aggressive) in CA. nyc has the most consistent aggressive driving. boston is aggressive, but there's some unwritten rule that has most guys backing off if there is some head to head thing going on. detroit is the most polite, with the occasional drag race going on.
safe travels all.

they are permanent 4WD etc and you can't fully turn off the TC either in them, what he should have done is set the car in off road mode, hike the suspension up and drive over more of them and therefore do less damage to the Rangie lol
