I don't know. Somehow it's pleasing to see that it got back to them but nevertheless this is anarchy were're wittnessing here. wo do have laws and a legal system to keep folks from doing self justice, and i'm convinced we have it for good reasons. i see this with mixed feelings.

That's because lynchings (which is effectively what we have here) have a nasty habit of getting out of hand, and out of control, and not-so-rarely wind up convicting and executing innocent people.

For some reason while I was watching this I thought of ants. If people were ants, this would be a self reparing colony. Something went wrong, everybody surrounding the incident felt responsible for fixing it, it got fixed, everything went back to normal.
I see that as organised and sophisticated rather than anarchic.
actually no, people see the chance to abuse others without fear of repercussions.
here's some more very NSFW videos of this "self-repairing" colony

it seems like China and South America are really good at practicing this street justice

ok maybe anarchy isn't the right word, it is organized somewhat, you're right. but i thought of it as anarchy because of folks talking the law in their own hands. that's never a good sign IMHO

Say what you will about their government, but I for one have nothing but respect for a society that gets involved rather than gawking at, laughing at, or worse, just completely ignoring the violation of innocent victims.

... inspired me to sift something about the bystander effect.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'motorcycle, hillclimb, fall, crash, ouch' to 'motorcycle, dirtbike, motorbike, hillclimb, fall, crash, ouch' - edited by calvados

was the officer justified?
uh....no.
even when you take in all the factors.
what could possibly be the deciding one?
1.the man was riding a harley so therefore must be in a biker gang.possibly the "outlaws"?
2.the man was physically imposing and he wore a threatening and scary bandana.
3.before i pulled the young man over he had gone really really fast and his motorbike made loud noises which frightened me.
i mean really..WHAT was going through this cops mind at that time.

so as we watch this officer attempt to evade any responsibility let us be frank..and clear.
my opinion may be based on little or no information and just by what i have seen here..
let me add my two cents anyways.
this cop over-reacted.
he did the same thing i am doing here...assumed much on little or no evidence and he reacted..poorly.
what i find most offensive is the weaseling.
weasel out of accepting the fact you made a poor snap judgment and a young mans life is transformed forever.
weasel out of accepting responsibility for your snap judgment which will most likely manifest in the form of denigrating the young man.a common tactic to discredit the victim in order to avoid any responsibility.
this..in my opinion is the weakest and lowest of all human behavior.
stand up and be a man.admit to the family that you made a mistake and you are sorry and will do whatever is in your ability to make it right.
accept the responsibility you fucking snivel nosed coward.

You are correct BT, and dag-As written, the guidelines are the opposite of implicit, and this video should be regarded/labeled/or otherwise considered as, again, according to the rules as scribbled-on-a-cocktail-napkin, soft porn.

therealblankman gets hard when he thinks about hotchicks and motorbikes, as do I.

Sexual arousal-face value merit otherwise=gonnagojackoffonthebikethatneedsfixingtorunnow!...with 90-weight gear lube as a lubricant....because I get horny when I smell that or think about smelling that , too!

06' Blast-It's my boss' who is way too big for it-He's gotta Ducati Monster in the garage that's sitting there collecting dust-His fuckn' cousin collects bikes, has 6, includind that rippin' fast fuckn' Hayabusa GSX1300R
...he just stores them and polishes em-

In reply to this comment by therealblankman:
That completely sucks. Lots of reasons to hate Harley. The way they handled the whold Buell fiasco was ridiculous- they shuttered the company out of pure spite. They had to swallow $125 million in shutdown costs, while turning down 2 separate offers to purchase Buell, including from Bombardier who make made the engine for the Buell 1125s. Pisses me off no end- Buell made some really interesting bikes. I might have even bought one someday, but will never buy a Harley.

Anyhow, I hope you get your bike fixed soon, and I hope it's not too painful a bill. You come up my way any time and we'll hit the road- got some of the best cycling roads in the world up here.

BTW, I've probably asked before, but what model Buell you riding?
