A man has been bludgeoned to death by a group of Australian motorcycle gang members in full view of dozens of people at Sydney airport.

Witnesses described bikers swinging poles "like swords" at each other's heads as the brawl spilled over two floors of Sydney's domestic terminal.

Four suspects have been arrested and the others are said to have fled.

better a country of hard buggers ready for a fight than limp-wristed pussies who allow the islamists to gain a foothold.

The Australian Bikey gangs are scary folk. Roughly equivalent to the Hell’s Angels in the 1960’s and 1970’s — very violent, not to be meddled with.

You don’t really have an equivalent in the US today — and that is probably a lucky thing.

I read about that somewhere. Else I’m mistaken that’s not as common as it once was, and your bikey gangs are quite a bit more “corporate” and respectable these days. True?

Tamed a little I suppose. They just had a large gang sweep about 2 months ago around here after a leader was shot and killed.
I’m no expert...

Just a few months ago, the president of the San Francisco branch of Hell’s Angels was shot to death outside the Angels clubhouse.

By a biker from another gang.

How many more examples would you like?

Ties, Cadillacs, corporate perks don’t change the essential nature of the being or the business being conducted.

If I know the type, they don’t bother you unless you bother them. I genuinely think that’s better than the pussification of the nation.

You cannot have a perfect world. We have to make pragmatic choices in life. I would choose these folks over islamists any day of the week

I've ridden my Harley all around the country. Sometimes I see a bar with a lot of bikes outside and think it would be nice to stop in, only to find myself in a hard-core biker place. Never a problem. I'm a civilian, I don't wear colors and everybody treats me just fine. But if I was with a rival gang . . .
