A black Range Rover ran over a group of bikers in New York City during an annual street ride. After running over multiple people at the :50 second mark, he takes off only to run over another person at the 5:00 minute mark.(please drop me a line if you have any further info) UPDATE: Some further info thanks to numerous users.

---------------------------------------

 

My personal opinion on this, I do hope the SUV driver got beat up for it. I know he had a wife and a kid in that car but c'mon. Just because you're afraid of something means you can endanger other people now? Like some comments say "biker gang" - if it was an biker gang that car would be shot to pieces already.

I paused the video right after the first guy is hit to add comments (ill edit after I watch the whole thing).  Right off the bat, the group of "bikers" were driving like A-holes, that being said the driver of the SUV should have been paying attention as it looks like the biker slowed down to a crawl..

 

Edit - watched the whole video - not sure how I feel, I am sure the driver felt he was in a world of danger after hitting the first guy.  Running over another group was prob not the smartest idea.  Also very strange how the video ends as soon as they break the window of the car...

 

Edit #2 -[Update: NYPD said that no one died in the incident and that the only person injured was the driver of the Range Rover].. so glad the bikers got justice /s

I am a very agressive driver.. I don't condone what happened.. however if people are acting like idiots, and causing problems.. I am the first to honk and yell at people to get out of the way.. I have also been known the rev the engine.  It is unfortunate that this happened.  I do hope the guy is penalized for it, but for his kids sake I hope no harm comes to him.

As mentioned above.. put into a situation where I or my kids are in possible danger, I will take out whoever or whatever I have to in order to keep them safe.

After watching the video.. I would have 100000% done what he did.  I would have been on the phone with police at the same time.  This guy is 100% in the right and I support him all the way through.

Edit 2:

Did more reading, the guy is okay he was treated in hospital for lacerations (from bikers smashing in window).  However the more I read the angrier I get with the bikers.   They started smashing the back door window WHERE THE CHILD WAS SITTING.   I bet that kid was so scared, makes me angry.

Are you sure? It looked like he was tailing them getting too close for comfort, and one brake-checked (if you will) to warn him off a little, and then he retaliated aggressively instead of backing off and giving a safe distance. I hate when people ride too close behind me on my bike--it's the single most nerve-wracking thing a person can do... especially a person in a huge SUV, and especially at high speeds. I'm withholding judgement since I wasn't there, but if I had to pick a side, I'd be putting this one on the Range Rover driver.

Yup, as a newer father I feel like things changed and their safety becomes the most important thing.  Glad no one was seriously injured.

From what I can see in the video, it was their own fault for acting like retards.  They got right in front of the guy and slowed down until he almost hit their back tire, and grouped around him during the first instance.  Then in the 2nd instance, some guy decided he was going to be a badass and take the guy out of his vehicle.  I'm not saying those guys deserved to get ran over, but you can't blame the driver in this one because of the douchebags that stressed them out enough to feel like they were in danger.

He was driving along, they surrounded him.  Douchebag infront "Brake-Checked" SUV Bumped tire, and pulled over.  The bikers then began surrounding the vehicle at which point fight or flee took over and he knew there was no way he could fight them so he did the next best thing, he fleed.

I can see as a biker how it is annoying, but the number of bad bikers I've seen (Saw one yesterday doing over 160KM/H) on a 100KM/H Highway weaving in and out of traffic.. and based on the video I feel that the fault lies 100% with the bikers.

Yep, as soon as I became a father my priorities like 180'd.  Before I would have just been like: "###### buzz.. hope the dude doesn't die" But as a father I now put myself and kids in that situation.. and it actually frightens me.

I don't get why they would do that for no good reason, though...

In Canada, there are ALOT of idiots who think brake checking is funny. Even when it comes to cars break checking a semi-truck. Most bikers are good people, but if you look at the demographic, the chances of them being idiots are much higher than normal. Youth combined with alcohol combined with mob mentality combined with "i must impress my friends" all can quickly lead to tragedy, and in this case, brake checking did.

So when someone's a dick run them over? Twice.

So if you had a wife and child in the car and were surrounded by bikers, and then one gets off the bike...what would you do in this day and age?

 

Get out of the car and try to reason with them?  or get the eff out of there?

 

It was a bad situation all around, but the last I checked, a group of bikers are not enforcing the law.  If nothing else, they should have called the police with the license plate, not continued to pursue and box in.

 

It is clear the guy panicked, and most people in his case would have too.

If you have a child in your car you have to think further ahead than "Run them over that will help". You really think 200+ bikers won't retaliate? He's lucky he just got beat up. What he actually thought he can out run them?

If you have a child in a car, you don't get out of the car to reason with a bunch of bikers surrounding you either.

 

Again I ask, what would YOU do?

The first incident clearly shows the biker intended to cause an emergency braking on the SUV there's no reason in the world I can think of why the biker felt he needed to do this, therefore it's his fault he got hit.

 

Or, yeah I'm driving on the motorway and just to be a dick I slam the brakes and cause the car behind me to pile into me? Who would you blame then, the driver behind me? 

 

BTW I'm talking about the first incident, after that the SUV driver probably felt at danger.

I wouldn't try to kill them, that's for sure. Fall behind or something, maybe, if I were actually frightened.

This.

 

Where did I say come out of the car? They only attacked him in the car because he ran over them, you do understand that right? Stay in the car and call the cops. But running over one biker means you will be chased and beat down by others.

 

What you all are trying to say is the bikers like attacked him in his car for no reason. If he ran over my bike he would be lucky to still be alive.

I dont think he was trying to kill them either.  He just wanted to get the heck outta Dodge at that moment.  Obviously a poor decision but paternal instincts are going to kick in at some point.

Yeah but what's your opinion on how the whole incident started? (serious question) :)

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
