Celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred held a press conference today to defend Edwin Mieses, Jr., the dirt biker run over on Sunday by a panicked SUV driver during what devolved into a violent motorcyclist-versus-motorist melee.
Allred, who entered the room clutching the hand of Dayana Mejia, Mieses's long-term partner and mother of their two children, told reporters that her client was only trying to diffuse a testy situation when he approached the Range Rover driven by Alexian Lien, immediately following a fender bender with another biker participating in the group ride. Mieses had his back turned to the car when Lien hit the gas, crushing him. "To top it off he has been pilloried in the press and in the public eye as though he deserved to be run over in the street," Allred said.
"Let us not lose sight of the fact that Mr. Mieses had done nothing to Mr. Lien," Allred told the assembled media. "He wished them no harm. He was walking away from the SUV when he was run over. Are people so blinded by their fears and prejudices in this case that they cannot see that before anyone laid a hand on Mr. Lien, that Edwin Mieses was run over and left severely injured? Where is the justice in that?"
Mieses, who has since been brought out of a medically-induced coma and is able to communicate, will nevertheless likely be paralyzed for life. His wife Dayana told reporters that Mieses has been a wonderful husband and father to their children.
"Until he was run over by this SUV, he has been there for our two children every single day—literally," she said. "He is the best father I know. And he would give the shirt off his back to anyone. It tears me up that anyone could think that Edwin in any way deserves what happened to him."
Allred and Mejia insisted that crucifying Mieses for his enjoyment of riding dirt bikes is unfair and prejudiced. They declined to comment on recent findings that Mieses was riding without a license, arguing that he had parked his bike on the side of the road before approaching Lien's car. "He was not on a bike, he was not in a car—he was standing," Allred said.
"He is not a member of any gang," she said. "He loves to ride motorbikes and came to New York City with his best friend to participate in a ride—nothing more."

She's just doing her job, and she's good at it. Its a lawyer's job to present the best possible argument, not to say what they personally believe. In light of this, I'd say Arkmundi, by posting her statement, is admitting he's trolling in this thread.mattrb said:Famewhore Gloria is back again!
Not that I think that first hand accounts will put a stop to salacious speculation based on innuendo and lack of fact and continued scurrilous attacks. For many, reality doesn't stand a chance, preferring to remain comfortable with their version of how things played out. Me talking to you is like you having a bullet in your head {J Meecee rap}A motorcycle rider who was struck by an SUV during a motorcycle rally that turned violent is a family man who was simply trying to defuse a tense situation, his attorney and family members said Friday....
...Mieses, who is from Lawrence, Mass., suffered a broken spine, fractured ribs, a punctured lung and a torn aortic valve, said his defense attorney, Gloria Allred. His injuries may have left him paralyzed.
"He told everyone to move on and go back to riding, and turned his back to the SUV to start walking back to his own bike," Allred said. "It was then, with his back to the SUV, and as he was in front of it, that he was run over and crushed."
Mejia said a difficult situation has been made worse by what she described as a "perception" that some people have about the riders who participated in the rally on Sunday.
"They are not gang members. They are not thugs," Mejia said. "They are FedEx drivers, plumbers, military reservists, musicians. They are fathers and brothers and sons, and sisters and mothers."
She also said Mieses didn't know any of the people he was riding with on Sunday aside from one friend who traveled to New York with him... more

What the hell does that have to do with anything??LSBW said:Not to mention, most of the swarm riders are blacks, and Lien is Chinese, driving nice SUV.
I'll take a guess. Some blacks don't like orientals (like Korean shopowners during the Rodney King riots). So the Liens in their nice SUV might get extra harassment.Eujangles said:What the hell does that have to do with anything??LSBW said:Not to mention, most of the swarm riders are blacks, and Lien is Chinese, driving nice SUV.

Eujangles said:Um...I think that sounds like stereotyping to me. The Rodney King riots happened in 1992...just because there were some racial tensions with isolated ethnic groups over 20 years ago over a specific set of incidents, doesn't mean that black people don't like Asians, or that the race of the motorcyclists is of any relevance to their motivation in this attack.

Nothing wrong with stereotyping when looking for reason. It is circumstantial evidence, however weak.
1992 was barely yesterday. Telling us twice does not give it any more weight. It just makes you look younger![]()
