http://bostonherald.com/news_opinio.../run_over_mass_biker_has_long_criminal_record
Bottom of my post has the content from link above.
The guy who was run over was obviously a HUGE dirtbag.
Article I found has more detail of criminal record than the simple driving offenses previously noted.
Karma is a bitch!
And for those that haven't seen it do yourselves a favor and go find the full length 6:31 second video.
Its even worse than what the news is showing.
Particularly in the seconds prior to him clipping the first bike.
It clearly shows the SUV trying to pace his speed and avoid the bikes until that dumb shit brake checked him.
Wonder why none if the news links show that first part that makes it much more obvious?
And afterwards it shows HUGE restraint on his part to not take out more of them.
He could have easily killed a few dozen in that 6 minutes but chose only to try to save his family. They must gave been completely terrified.
Why does anyone think the SUV must have done ANYTHING to play a hand in getting this started?
As in supposed events prior to the video?
I don't know about you guys but I've seen plenty of incidents of this Thuggish mentality in all sorts of forms and it doesn't need any provocation to precipitate. All it takes is a pack of Thugs with a prison mentality regarding thinking they've been disrespected.

The Lawrence motor*cyclist struck and paralyzed as a desperate SUV driver tried to escape the rage of other bikers in New York on Sunday has a six-page criminal record that began at age 12 with a negligent driving charge and includes jail time for drugs, guns, resisting arrest and other convictions, according to court records.
Edwin Mieses, 32, never got a driver’s license in the Bay State, the Registry of Motor Vehicles said, but he was frequently nabbed behind the wheel, and even sentenced to jail for driving without a license, court records show. Mieses has a pending case out of Lawrence District Court for driving suspended, subsequent offense, said Carrie Kimball Monihan, spokeswoman for the Essex County District Attorney’s Office. Mieses also has 15 guilty findings for criminal offenses including distribution of cocaine, possession of a firearm without a permit, knowingly receiving stolen property, resisting arrest and several motor vehicle violations, court records show.
Mieses was sentenced to jail in 2004 for distribution of cocaine, in 2001 for operating without a license, in 2000 for possession of a firearm, and in 1999 for possession of marijuana, receiving stolen property, destruction of property and attaching plates, according to court records.
Attempts yesterday to reach Mieses’ girlfriend, mother, father and lawyer were unsuccessful.
A Facebook page called “Justice for Jay Meezee” says Mieses was paralyzed after he was run over and remains hospitalized. Mieses has been identified by The Associated Press and other media outlets as the biker who was run over.
The confrontation spiraled from a minor crash between a motorbike and the SUV. A biker’s helmet video showed one biker smashing SUV driver Alexian Lien’s window with his helmet, pulling him out and beating him. Lien’s wife, in the SUV with their child, said yesterday they feared for their lives.
