I have a hard time finding any sympathy for the ass-kickee on the motorcycle.
He rode right in there, stood his ground, and got beat down, but not bad, considering.
Didn't read of him whining about it neither.
His future could be bright.
He probably figured he was near invulnerable in a fight due to his helmet. Little did he realized that his helmet was merely a leverage point for twisting his head, and thereby controlling his entire body.
I think you're giving the guy too much credit.
Other reports say the road range incident had been going on for 15 miles before this.
My guess:
Truck guy comes up behind long line of mopeds. College guys on mopeds too stupid/ inconsiderate to allow for passing even though they are pegged at 45. Truck guy quickly thinks "f this" and passes anyway, merging back into the middle of the pack, almost causing a wreck. Motorcycle guy is outraged, nobody's ever nearly run him off the road before. To the surprise and irritation of truck guy it ain't over. As he pulls away he is persistently dogged by irate motorcycle guy, maybe two or three.
Truck guy has an older brother at the homestead who is a Hell's Angel. Truck guy might be one himself, or coulda been. Truck guy wants to beat down f'ing insolent punk on motorcycle, drives slow enough that even mopeds can keep up. Call his bro tells him and his buds to wait out on the road. He's gonna show them mf'ers just who they're screwing with. Most of moped pack at this point are sorta along for the ride, not wanting to abandon their crazy friend.
They arrive at roadblock. Helmet guy gets off bike, aware he's out of his depth, not wanting to back down, never got as far even thinking about his helmet.
Good thing he is wearing a helmet, else broken nose and broken facial bones likely. Truck guy just wades right in with roundhouses, throws isolent little punk off road. Actually tries a number of times to hit him in the face after he's down but chin bar on helmet gets in way. So instead he gets in a brutal kick and then a stomp to the chest. The sorta thing that can break ribs. Motorcycle punk is down. This ain't truck guy's first rodeo by any means, he makes tracks to depart the scene right off.
Older brother runs interference throughout and then leaves the scene hisself.
If not for them effing GoPros and smart phones, it woulda gone off without a hitch.
For the Cops, enough reasonable doubt not to go after truck guy, besides motorcycle guy got lucky, no broken bones.
But Fat Belly guy, the guy who went to jail for hitting a Cop? The Outlaw biker guy who has threatened ex-wives and girlfriends? He's a felon on camera holding a knife and a shotgun. If they can pin anything at all on him he's going to jail.
