(171,592 posts)I sympathize with people complaining about noise. Me, I always found that politely asking people to modify their behavior worked better than confrontations.
What about driving on a road with bikes. As far as I know that is not against the law. He could not have gone this fast since he was able to stop.

(20,332 posts)He punched him a couple of times, and definitely held a lot back. The guy was back up after the hits, still trying to get in Ritchson's face as he got his bike up.
If Ritchson hit him full force, the dude wouldn't be speaking through a broken jaw.

(1,234 posts)We would be charged for assault and/or battery.
If this was self defense the video shows he dispensed of the threat fairly quickly but continued to assault. That's how people who get jumped get charges against them if they come out on top and continue hitting.
Both of them were douches, both of them should be held accountable so they will adjust their behaviors.

(8,387 posts)seems to me he's still pretty full of it.
For one, he jumped in front of the motorcycle. Laid hands on Ritchson first by pushing him off the bike, and worse still, did so in front of the guy's kids. When there were many NON-confrontational ways of handling concerns over "bike riding and the revving of engines." So, what'd he expect?
