A couple points;
From the pic the guy looks like a cruiser rider. Most v-twin cruisers are about as fast as a van, so I'm not buying the '"why didn't he just speed away?" thing. Also, when they passed the cop the defendant couldn't have anticipated or foresaw them attacking him, so his waiving to the cop instead of pulling over totally makes sense to me.
When he asked the guys in the van if they wanted to get shot, that to me is fair notice and warning not to attack him and that he was prepared to defend himself with a gun instead of a fist. I don't see how that warning could be interepreted as an aggressive move on his part, aggravating the situation. To me the sob who got out and cold-cocked him not only was the dumbest of the 3 by far, but got what he deserved.
