Black biker gang behind SUV attack in NYC

(Editor's note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.) Videos linked or embedded may contain foul language and violence.

Here is what the local newspapers did not report about the mob of dozens of motorcycle riders who chased, stopped and beat the father of a young Asian family on a Sunday afternoon in New York City: One, the mob was black, says the police report. Two, this is merely the latest of several such examples of racial violence on wheels, witnesses say.

Except this one is on video. All six minutes and 27 seconds of it. Recorded on the helmet-cam of one of the members of the black motorcycle mob.

"The newspapers say it was a motorcycle gang," said one veteran member of New York's law enforcement community. "That makes you think it was a white gang, like the Hell's Angels. But it was the total opposite."

Cops busted the psycho biker who allegedly started the confrontation that ended with an SUV driver being badly beaten — as sources said another cyclist hurt in the mayhem may be paralyzed for life, sources told the New York Post Tuesday.

Biker suspect Christopher Cruz, 28, of Passaic, NJ, was charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing in the attack on Alexian Lien, 33, who had been out with his family for a Sunday drive in Upper Manhattan.

As the video begins, a black Range Rover is heading north in the direction of Harlem. Driving is Lien, his wife and child are also in the car – now being pursued and surrounded by more than 50 bikers.

It is not clear what, if anything, happened before the video begins.

Twenty-seven seconds into the video, a biker performs a "brake check:" In moving traffic, he pulls his motorcycle up to a few feet in front of the Range Rover then, looking at the rear of his bike and the front of the car, he slows down until his rear tire contacts the car's front bumper.

Black mobs routinely terrorize cities across the country, but the media and government are silent. Read the detailed account of rampant racial crime in "White Girl Bleed A Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It."

The Post picks up the scene:

"One biker then pulled directly in front and slowed down, forcing the SUV to stop, and the others converged on the Range Rover, laying their bikes down on the pavement to block the vehicle.

"The panicked dad then gunned the engine and ran over several bikes before speeding off with the pack in hot pursuit, police sources said Monday."

Others say several members of the black mob attempted to open the SUV's door.

With bikers signaling to each other, the high speed pursuit continued for another 50 blocks until "during one of the stops, one of the bikers slashed one or more tires on the SUV, forcing the driver to exit at West 178th Street in Washington Heights," said the Post.

Finally, stuck in traffic on West 178th between Wadsworth and St. Nicholas avenues, the bikers surrounded the SUV, and several men attacked the vehicle with their fists and helmet, breaking at least one window. The bikers slashed the father’s tires while one opened the driver’s door and tried to pull the terrified dad out, sources said. The Range Rover came to a stop there because of heavy traffic and the deflated tires.

The video stops. The Post continues: "The crew then beat the man in front of his wife and child. The victim was rushed to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital with two black eyes, and also needed stitches on his face and chest."

Video from a camera on one of the biker’s helmets shows a man with a Guyana sticker on the back of his blue bike watching as another biker smashed Lien’s window with his helmet.

The New York ABC affiliate called it a "brawl." The web site Heavy.com said it was a case of "road rage" on the part of the SUV driver.

The video quickly went viral, with some people insisting that one or two of the bikers were "white or Hispanic," despite the police report to the contrary. While others chastised the driver for antagonizing the bikers.

Despite initial reports that one biker sustained minor injuries, later it was learned the rapper Jay Meezee is hospitalized and may be paralyzed after the SUV allegedly ran him over.

Meezee's father is a prominent Boston-area Hispanic evangelical minister. But his son's appearance and music are racially ambiguous: The lyrics – and his frequent appearances on black radio – are full of N-Bombs and contain stories of prison, drug addiction, violence and life "in the hood."

He also appears in several videos with large groups of motorcycles tearing through downtown streets. His motorcycle helmet brags he is "reckless." And his pictures display him proudly showing off concrete burns typical of injuries received in motorcycle accidents.

His friends have set up a website to pay for his hospital bills. Many blame the SUV for running over Meezee for no reason whatsoever: Meezee was just trying to help his friend.

They chastised the driver for antagonizing the bikers.

"Sure wish I could have seen the whole video of that a-- hole getting his a-- kicked and dragged all over the street for being such a piece of s---," said one commenter on YouTube. "Got some money and think they're untouchable and can do whatever they want. Lucky that he only got his a-- kicked and not killed."

But several other New Yorkers also took to YouTube to report their experiences with that – and similar – mobs.

"I saw these a**holes in the city yesterday before the incident, Running red lights and causing traffic like they own the streets. Nothing but Thugs on bikes! I would've done the same," said one.

Another spotted the same mob all over the city.

"These savages drove throughout Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and The Bronx yesterday. They were on sidewalks, they were going against traffic. They were looking for trouble and unfortunately for this man and his family, they were picked on."

And not just yesterday:

During the warmer months, these gangs – comprised of hundreds of cycles – take over the West Side Highway (here) and the FDR. This has happened to me (and my family) twice. The cyclists harass the drivers, speeding up, slowing down to a crawl, weaving in and out, clogging traffic.

They surround the cars. Their intent is to intimidate, to harass and to cause an altercation. On one occasion, my wife and I were so frightened we pulled off and drove local. They were looking for a fight.

Michael Joiner could not help but notice the difference between how the press treated this roving band of dangerous bikers and the bikers who participated in the "Two Million Bikers" rally on 9/11 in Washington, D.C.

"In Washington recently, we had miles and miles of bike riders who were scorned or ignored by the liberal media," said Michael Joiner, an actor and a comedian. "But the media is protecting the black bikers who terrorized this innocent family. I only wish Ted Nugent had been driving."

This is the second high-profile assault in Harlem in September. Earlier in the month, 20 black people on bicycles taunted and assaulted a white doctor who lives and works in Harlem.

He was out for an evening stroll when the bicyclists found him, broke his jaw, and knocked out a few teeth. He said his attackers were not representative of all the good people in Harlem.
