Breitbart changed the link for the article while I was posting the original link. This the current link: http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2015/07/08/twin-peaks-bikers-send-cease-and-desist-all-defamation-letter-to-waco-officials/

What a joke. They want to associate themselves with these outlaw biker scum that got nine people killed, but they don’t want to be defamed? They are defaming themselves!

I think there might be people who do not have a Motorcycle attending.

Baltimore thugs send “Cease and Desist” order to anyone with intelligence to stop defamation of Baltimore thugs....

article is poorly written. it’s long on 2MB2DC’s letters, but short on rationale - what slander was committed by the waco people? examples? quotes?

[Cboldt]

I view the letter as a political tool. It will put political pressure on the PTB. There is no such thing as defaming a group as amorphous as "bikers," even a group as identifiable as say, for example, the Bandidos or the Cossacks. Defamation is an individualized tort.

The conduct that the letter describes isn't "illegal" in the sense of running afoul of any statute either. Assuming for the sake of argument that a claim of defamation dose lie, the conduct is technically "tortious," not "illegal."

(perhaps killing people tends to give one a bad reputation)

“
John Bostick, 62, of Athens, came to the rally as part of the 2 Million Bikers to DC group to help reinforce that motorcyclists are not criminals.

“We’ve got a bad reputation,” he said”

I see the clown squad has successfully made themselves the subject of discussion and thus validated their own miserable existence.
