DC motorcycle mayhem on on 495S Beltway 12/27/15

[Jersey mike]

"Traffic cameras showed the bikers zooming through traffic on the Inner Loop in Prince George’s County, I-295 and U.S. 50, reports WTOP. The hot-dogging riders drove against the traffic flow Sunday, popped wheelies and reportedly harassed Beltway drivers.

Maryland State Police troopers from the Forestville and College Parks barracks rushed to the Beltway, but the bikers had left by the time officers arrived."

That is SAD!! and eventually we will fell the repercussions for it. All bikers are the same, Right! they all bad. YA! RIGHT!!

[Jersey mike]

it's a true symbol of how the gov't cannot protect its people.  it's a good thing the lady in the car that filmed this was not driving and panicked. if she had hit one of those bikes who knows what could have happened to her especially if she was white.

[Gavin_Sons]

dumb asses like that deserve to be ran over. Do they not have anywhere else to do this at? like a parking lot where they are not stopping traffic and putting everyone in danger? Just a bunch of stupid thugs with nothing better to do. I cant believe the citizens in cars were so patient with them.

[Jersey mike]

the sad part is this stuff goes on constantly. if you watch the video, there are more similar videos listed on the right side and LEO's are not able to control it. the riders are determined to push the limits of what they can do and get away with.

now I can't believe what i'm going to say now, but it's a shame some of these guys never put their talents to some positive use. it really seems some of these guys can ride and have decent skills but instead of pursuing their "passion to ride" they just do stupid crap like this. some of these guys could have gotten on a circuit and raced either sport bikes, ATV or MX, but instead they just want to live the thug life.

[dreamaker]

The people appeared to be smart not to kick the bee hive, there is always tomorrow. Far as talent maybe true, but what make you think, some of these riders don't ride on a circuit, and it is just off season. Point is, you never know who!!

[nogrey]

It's certainly no comfort seeing this sort of thing. It's just like our public schools. The children are taught that they are essentially untouchable, cannot be punished for their actions and can get away with murder. Then they grow up and this is how they act. Why would we expect any different? There has been a breakdown in the moral fabric of our society and we are paying for it.

Well IMO, if any of these guys were on a circuit they wouldn't be out acting like jerks. From following motorsports those who race legit gain a large respect for their boundaries. Yes there are always a few bad apples in every group that have a need to do bad things with their skills, but guys who are involved in motorsports usually know you prove yourself on the track not on the highway with regular drivers.

But you're right, you never know who.

[Jess from VA]

You'll notice these Marylanders/DCers keep their hooligan asses in MD/DC, and do not visit VA (for the most part).

Much like their large crowd of professional felons.  

The height of stupidity is taking your girlfriend along on such activities.  But I suppose they've thought this through and realize they will block any gunfire coming from pursuers.

While on foot, there is no significant difference between that..... and this:

[Alpha Dog]

So we have a new routine for motorcycle thugs.  Is this there black lives matter rendition
They sure make the Del Fuegos seem quite timid.   Real danger is this may catch on and while holding up traffic they go kicking in car doors or even much worse.

A couple of plates numbers can be read.  I would think some of the other autos involved have pics of plates or numbers written down.  This is a start and the cops need to get on this now before it escalates.

Video is 5.5 minutes long and troopers couldn't get there in time to catch any of them. And people assert the police can protect them, and wonder why some carry weapons for protection. <smh> LEOs do a fine job, but they can't be everywhere at once, and in many cases only arrive in time to pick up the pieces.

I agree with you on the most part, I just TRY and have an open mind.  Keep in mind, we never see athletes in trouble or doing bad things on the News, correct. LOL!! Bottom line is we never know.

Although, based on other repliers observations, we are back to that common denominator thing again.

[sandy]

Most are black because most inner DC residents are black. It's just a matter of demographics. I'm glad that doesn't happen on the 101 here in Scottsdale. Some soccer mom on a cell phone would kill 3-4 before she knew it.

So was the statement about color of hoodlums correct?

I am not prejudice but there seems to be an entitlement allowed the lower class blacks that destroys society in every way. I don't like it, I don't think its fair and I don't think its good for society black or white as a whole. If your community is a burned out hulk don't come and ruin everyone else's community. If you are a good member of society then you would not do things like this video shows. This should be met with the same authority and policing that was shown to anyone else. Local Police have the authority to go on the highway so was there no local police that could help here?


I don't care if you are black, brown, red white, plaid, a low life or a corporate head, if you are a good contributor to society and people as a whole then you have my respect. But if you stop cars on the highway, burn property, ruin peoples lives, take advantage of the system and generally are a menace to society I will address you as pretty much a hoodlum. Color does not really matter except when government officials allow destruction of property, destruction of law abiding citizens lives and livelihood, and give handouts to these very same people, then to me they endorse the destructive actions of these hoodlums in society. If they happen to be black and extend this kind of linency to blacks doing wrong things then the government is responsible for discrimination and segregation on a big level.  So right now these hoodlums seem to be predominantly black just as the terrorists seem to be predominantly Muslim.

Maybe its a criminal thing or professional courtesy being extended to another criminal by the criminals in charge.

Same as the flash mobs that attack a store with 50 or so thugs and steal everything they can get there hands on. The police should get there act together and block the highway exits and round them all up and take away their bikes,auction them off and revoke their license but no. They don't want to be seen as picking on the poor blacks again. BS

[Jersey mike]

Back in the Spring when  I was done watching the live reports on the stupid crap going on in Baltimore, I scrolled through the TV channels and came up on this "documentary".

I thought it was going to be about a kid from Baltimore who got into dirt bikes for a good reason, but obviously I was Oh so wrong.

The complete show is about 90 minutes, but I switched it off after about 20 minutes.

This is not what I'd consider to be people who are trying to be decent law abiding citizens.

Listen to this guy at the about the 6 min mark..."nigga" this, "nigga" that, "teaching all these young nigga's"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8RpRXVQolU

and skip ahead to about the 35:15 mark...you'll hear a group talking about attacking the police HQ and that the police fear them.

If these Mad Max wannabees continue to do these things and not get caught and punished they will continue to grow in numbers and audacity. I have to assume they have police scanners to know what is happening and when to get while the getting is good, but absolute lawlessness is what they portray.

if there was ever a good use of these new drones w/ hi-def live video cameras getting one or 2 in the air to see these people in action would be beneficial and useful in catching them in the act such as shutting down the highway and exits, no room to escape. Round them all up.

i can pull up youtube videos of biker groups that are mostly white that do the same thing that this group is doing...do we paint all whites with their actions?  Most of these folks are riding motorcycles, does this mean all motorcycle riders are criminals?

Anytime you start off by saying "I'm not prejudiced, but..." That's not a good sign. In my opinion we are all prejudiced to some extent. We may not be racist be one would have to have been raised in a vacuum to not be prejudiced in some way regardless of ones race. Just as WilliamRS said the are plenty of instances of white motorcyclists doing the same thing.

Both above are quotes

 Two of my best friends are black and I must add, there are real differences in our thinking in some areas. They want a good life for themselves and they care for this country and people. That makes them ok in my book. Now do we think alike, no not in all ways and you guessed it O is one issue I have with one of my friends the other thinks O is satan. I agree that starting off defensive is not good.

As for the white bikers I think they are criminals also and they actually do get punished for their deeds like in NY.  Plus we don't have white sympathizers sitting in cars helping and giving the high 5 at things like this. Actually there is very little public support white or black for whites acting like this.

  As I pointed out we don't have the government coming out and condoning the actions of whites who destroy property and use the system at every turn only blacks. This is racial segregation and prejudice at its finest that also incites resentment at an unfair application of the law. 

Do you remember the knock out game?

So when the blacks whose actions as of late have not been peaceful and caring come out and block traffic and have friends in cars supporting them who are also blocking traffic. That some blacks do not take control of their kids to teach them respect instead they use the courts to profit for lack of parenting and maybe the death of their children.  I can say a black motorcycle group in stopping traffic and causing inconvenience, pain, suffering, fear, can be a problem associated with color.

Sorry boys but you cannot say where there is smoke there is no fire, you guys must not think the Muslim religion is responsible for terrorists also right?

Nice try on switching the subject.

  I only saw two license plates. I guess that is not enough to go on. The leo's would just get blamed for doing their job if any one got arrested or hurt.
        Makes all of us look bad, Most people do not know the difference between a crouch rocket and a cruiser.

What needs to be done is the same for all other crime.  Set harsh consequences, inforce it and leave out political correctness.  If all the offenders happen to be black so be it.  Doesn't make it a racist law.

Surveillance cameras should be able to get enough to deter many more if the punishment is swift and strong

People who do that stuff aren't smart enough to be deterred by any threat of punishment.
