A crowd of thugs...they just happened to be 'riding scoots', of which I have experienced the quick to rise boil, and thug mentality. Not much different than a crowd of thugs on the street, walking.
The bikes simply give quick pursuit, chase and surround...
When the one idiot gets hit/run over, the rest of the crowd pursues and defends. Pack mentality; on foot or on sleds, imo.
None of us can know how it all went down or what the driver of the car felt in terms of fear and defending his Fam.
The cycle group was lucky that Dad or Mom were not packing.
The idea that some 'cycle hero' doing positive PSA commercials would have any effect on thugs like that is wildly optimistic at best, to dreaming, imo.
Riding for 50+ years, in several kinds of 'groups'; I have seen and smelled the fear when some in a group became aggressive and retaliatory. Zero justification for a gang/group assault. Hope the driver recovers.
