a more aggressive response to road rage

when i was young, i really wanted a way to drop an oil slick or a smokescreen behind my bike for when the bigger kids came to harass us (i was clearly playing too much spy hunter or watching too much peewee herman).  this approach is less defensive than what i imagined: https://www.facebook.com/drivetribe/videos/573763299670479/

LOL! That is so funny. Where was this? Was he speaking Spanish? I'm surprised the police did not come.

Was this staged? I hope so.

I read a couple dozen comments. Might be staged, might not. Sure looks real. Staged or not, it's sure going to give a bunch of people ideas, and I'm not sure it will always be the good guys. Yeah, that's Italian, not Spanish, I'm pretty sure.

99.9 percent sure it is staged. It looks "too good.". perfect staging.  And the motorbike guy can go so much faster than someone on a.bike trying to set off fireworks.   In any case, of this was tried in the US there'd be a good chance that a cop would shoot the guy on the bike.

It appeared as if someone dropped dead in the video.

If it wasn't staged, I don't know why the motorbike guy kept going so very slowly that the cyclist was able to keep up. All those cuts make it look like the motorbike guy kept getting too far ahead and had to stop and wait for the cyclist. If it were perfectly staged, they would have rehearsed it more so they wouldn't have needed cuts.
