Maybe he's learning? Could've bought the bikes to have something to do with his kids? Everyone has to learn sometime, maybe they're cruising the neighborhood to get practice. On the gopro video he clearly wasn't speeding and it seems Ritchson had to smack the guy a couple times to keep him from getting in the way again just so they could leave. I'd want to get my kids away from a nut like that as well.

Pretty clear now that POS neighbor guy got what he had coming. Could have been worse too. Alan was clearly restraining himself.

You mean as ritchson is trying to drive away and asking the dude to move he was shoved.

Did you even see the helmet video? How on earth do you process information any other way? AR was assaulted and showed restraint when the dude would not let him leave. That was a very restrained arse beating.

I highly doubt dude gets prosecuted or charged with literally anything.

No point, just asking a general question.

I knew there had to be more to it. Ritchson did nothing wrong IMO. Yes, he punched the guy a few times, but it does look like the other guy started the physical confrontation and would not let him leave and pushed him off his bike.

The fist fall down Richtson lays his own bike down instead of just stopping. He then goes and pushes the guy down and knocks him over and goes back to his bike, gets on it, and rams into the guy and falls off. Then proceeds to punch him multiple times


I don't see how this can be the likely conclusion. The best evidence of what happened before the neighbors film of the beat down is the helmet cam. The Brit admits that he shoved him because "he was coming towards me." Now THAT is a way to spin it.

Why are you claiming something that cannot be true, that he "lays his bike down instead of stopping"? The helmet cam clearly shows the neighbor moving in front of the bike on purpose to block him from moving. Richtson was not trying to run him over, but was doing the opposite and trying to go around. If he was trying to run him over, he never would have slowed down in the first place. The neighbor was not allowing him to leave, then pushed him over when he tried to, by his own admission and from the video.

After Ritchson gets up and pushes him and they argue, he tries to leave again and the Brit neighbor once again tries to block him from leaving. It's not clear if Ritchson was pushed again, but I think it's fair to assume (and by watching the helmet cam) that it's likely the neighbor did the same thing as before in pushing him as he tried to leave, then got his arse kicked.

That dude deserved a MUCH worse beating.

ETA: Don't jump in front of moving vehicles and cause accidents, morons.

This ain’t England bruv, glad Alan kicked his arse for getting in his way. Who steps in front of a motorized vehicle like that? Absolute prick move.

I had a neighbor who had a loud motorcycle, and I hated it so much. I would normally be partial to the neighbor. But the way he stepped out in front of him was completely asinine and he deserved at list the first punch he got.

It’s been a dream of mine to brutally beat a neighbor up either physically like he did or with a bat. I live on a boring street with a bunch of bankers, attorneys, college administrators etc so it likely won’t ever happen.

True story. When I was a kid a teenage neighbor across the street had a motorcycle. Me and him had beef one day so I got in front of him when he tried to drive away. He ran me over and broke my leg. He was a dick, but I probably had it coming a bit. No lawyers, no cops, his dad made him apologize and I was in a cast for 6 weeks or whatever. Good times.
