I just stop in the lane-splitting position. Sometimes I have to wave the turning car past me on my right. Not sure the victims situation tho. I have dealt with this hundreds of times, but then again I stay keenly aware of my actions and how it effects other road users. If I am in a position to be polite it is not very hard to do so. But perhaps the victims situation was a hopeless one. I would have pointed at the light same as he did if I were trapped in the lane with some @hole honking behind me. If I get punched they had better knock me out cold too.
