just completely going by what the other guy said, speeding on residential streets. I realize he is not the most impartial narrator of course.
I do suspect that Ritchson was being an ass, and that led to this confrontation. I don’t think he comes out of this looking like a hero. But the cops should have been involved, not some guy picking a fight.
100% agree, as I mentioned above. That guy got what was coming to him. Ritchson behaved understandably and well within his rights, but I wouldn’t say it was exactly a praise-worthy response.
I used to work with an asshole who insisted that loud bikes saved lives.. One day he was riding home and got into a pretty bad accident. Spent some time in the hospital. On his get-well card, I wrote, “Wishing you a speedy recovery. And, I guess, a louder bike”.
By “crashed his bike” you mean that he fell over while being assaulted?
His body camera didn’t show any contact directed towards him. The neighbor stepped in front of him as he slowed down then it looks like the rider lost control of his motorcycle.
Yes. We were trying to find a polite way to tell you.
In a civilized society? The proper response is to call the police. Have the guy charged with assault.
It’s astonishing to me that the police laid no charges here. Where I live they’d both have been charged with assault and/or disorderly conduct. The premise being that street brawling doesn’t represent the kind of society we want to live in.
Yes, exactly this.
