Probably the only decent thing that can be said about this video is that nobody was gravely injured. [Update: one of the riders was seriously injured and may be paralyzed]. It captures the chaos of a rally gone wrong in New York City, and shows just how quickly things can spiral out of control.

Toward the beginning, after what looks like an aggressive brake check by one of the riders, a Range Rover knocks him off his machine. Riders then surround the RR, and allegedly began threatening the driver. The man behind the wheel—who had his wife and child in the car—then plows through the crowd to escape. The riders pursue the Range Rover, eventually smashing the windows and assaulting the driver. He later received stitches at a local hospital.

Personally, I think this looks like an example of what not to do—as a driver or a motorcyclist. Check out NBC News for more details, and head over to the Forum to see what members are saying about this terrible incident.
