What would you do?

The SUV that Alexian Lein was driving.

Lien with his wife
It’s no wonder why bikers have such a bad reputation. After a group of motorcycle riders calling themselves “Hollywood Stunts” beat Alexian Lien in front of his 2 year old child and wife. And this isn’t the first time they have had a run in with the law. Last year when they road through New York they roughed up a civilian that was at a stop light in their car.

Christopher Cruz


It all started when Christopher Cruz stopped in front of Lien’s SUV and caused an accident. Now why would a motorcyclist stop in front of an SUV? There isn’t really a good explanation. That’s when Lien was swarmed with bikers around his SUV, fearing for the safety of himself and his family he drove away, plowing over another motorcyclist Edwin Mieses Jr. and his motorcycle. That’s when the chase started, calling 911 Lien was fearful for his life and they came to another stop where one of the bikers tried ripping the door of the SUV open.  Lien proceeded to flee; however, it wouldn’t end well for him at the next stop. That’s when the bikers got hold of him.  They swarmed his SUV and smashed his windows with their helmets and dragged him out of his vehicle and beat him in front of his wife and 2 year old child. Lien was taken to the hospital to get stitches on his face.


As all of this wasn’t enough, there were 2 undercover police officers within this riding group. So why on earth would the undercover cops not do anything? So much for the slogan to protect and serve. One of the cops, Wojciech Braszczok was arrested and appeared in court on Wednesday on charges of 1st degree assault and gang assault. Others charged in this case are Christopher Cruz with reckless driving and unlawful imprisonment, Allen Edwards with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and menacing, Reggie Chance with gang assault, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal mischief and Robert Sims for assault and weapons possession, police say Sims is the biker who tried to pull open Lien’s door.

It is incidents like this that give the motorcycle communities a bad name.  You would have to have a pea size brain to stop a motorcycle in front of an SUV; a motorcycle can stop in 2 seconds, a SUV not that quick. So it’s similar to a semi and a fiat getting into a crash. I find this all very disturbing. I know personally I think I would have done what Lien did. I would have called 911 and tried to flee, because I’m sure I would have been fearful for my life and my child. Let’s hope that this group of Hollywood Stunts doesn’t come around again.

  1. I also dont understand why the biker stopped, but what was most interesting was the fact the undercover cops didnt step in. They must have believed they shouldnt risk giving up thier cover. Either way i dont know what they were thinking when they let this man get beat up. The charges do seem fitting, becuse if they dont step in on something like this i dont think theyd step in for anything else.
