Yes. If I could bring these two to life, I'd show them around work.
Ummmm....there are a TON of issues you are setting aside to make your point.
Which part of the article did you not read? The whole thing?
The were riding the opposite of "perfectly legally and safely"
Damn straight its ok, he feared for not only his life but his wifes life and more importantly his kids life. Imagine being in that car, surrounded by bikers who are violent towards you, boxing you in and smacking on your car. Combine that with a wife who was most likely hysterical and your baby crying in the backseat.
I think you missed or just decided to gloss over a couple details of the story.
I imagine his mind was more on his own life, and his wife and daughter, than some dick on a bike.
He was surrounded by a pack of cowards who had no business being on the road to begin with. If you want to be treated like a human, act like one.
The SUV driver ran over a member of a mob, that was threatening his family after trying to illegally shut down a highway, in an attempt to escape said violent mob. Make sense now?
Oh, I'm sorry... the card says "moops."
You got me. Although I will be offended if anyone dresses as a 1930's mobster. Seriously I will call the Italian American Anti-Defamation League.

"I don't care if the kids are hungry or sick or homeless. I don't like you so I am not giving YOU…
No immediate or present danger, except being surrounded by bikers stopping the entire traffic on the freeway. Some of them are wearing crests showing affiliation to the Front Line Soldiers MC.
My thoughts exactly. I'm by no means a Dave Eggers fan, but these "similarities" are really just endemic to the industry. I work in a similar field, and yeah: we have relaxed company meetings every week where we talk about company accomplishments (er... when applicable). Our fridge is full of free sodas. We feel like…
That's probably true.
But, in my defense, I should say that I share an apartment with some of the Romney kids and some of the Palin kids too — Brax, Splint, Calc, and Vault. Nice enough guys. Apparently they're involved in politics — which is nice, since it reminds me when to change the sheets.
Here is a great interview with this Romeo Rose. Just wait until the end. Classic D-bag.
