Every year for 28 years.
If you get a chance, go.
It is the most awe inspiring, emotionally gutting thing you will ever experience.
Me thanks you protest to loud , all day yesterday and last night, now back today
Wrong....Been there done the burbs thing. You must not be familiar with how it works with the endless illegal alien blowers and weed trimmers
Lemme educate you.
On Monday it's the neighbors living behind you. Tuesdays it the illegal alien hiring neighbor to the right, Wednesday it's the neighbor on the left, Thursday it's the neighbor across the street, and this goes on and on..
Motorcycles are the very least of this noise lunacy.
The authorities had for weeks been attempting to ‘prevent’ this meeting for all knew the likely hood of violence was probable as history of these war gangs have proved time and again.
It isn't a matter of trusting authorities...it's a matter of working with what you got in hopes of a favorable outcome. This event could not have played out any other way then it did without the bikers and the owner of this restaurant cooperating with the police...they didn't and here we are.
I live in the wastelands so “blocks” are not my environment *but*, in my little ‘village’, one neighbor mows and then the other mows, too, for fear of being seen to have shabbier grass than neighbor #1.
It’s a competition and over in an hour or so.
:)
And I sure don't want you to be my 'hand maiden'.
You still have Google or Bing.
If you want the truth badly enough, you can easily find it.
It is. Every second, no, but 100,000 times more than a man mowing his yard. Like I said, there's a known time limit on yard mowing, and you know you got a week or two break in between. Try having a Sunday grill out in town, and it will be barking dogs, rap music, and loud bike exhaust every few seconds.
How's that?! A riot is a riot.
If you have a problem reading posts then scroll on by...
I think you're more offended by the workers than the machines, from what you're posting here. If the illegal aliens weren't here, then it would be someone else doing upkeep to their yard, then it probably would affect you less.
Motorcycles are the very least of this noise lunacy.
Riding bikes on cul-de-sacs doesn't make much sense. lol
Are you unable to address the offenders and ask them to stop?
FWIW, a few years back, one neighbor within hearing distance complained about hubby working on bikes late at night so now we have a strict 10PM cut off time for any motor related testing.
Perhaps you have only to ask.
No, I don't get up from the lawn chair and chase down every car with rap music and every bike that goes by. If they immediately cannot see that a barking dog is irritating, or rap music is horrible, or loud exhaust interrupts a nice Sunday get-together, then they're not going to give a damn what people who have more respect for others think.

We're home by 10pm. Sunday get-togethers are over by dark usually. No, when I lived in town, I asked nicely my neighbor to quiet his dogs. Of course he refused. So it took a $1000 fine from the police to get results, and the dog went to the country for a while. But even then all they did was get a puppy and a month later the puppy was doing what the first dog was doing. About that time I moved. These people have no respect for others and can't see that maybe the rest of us like different things than they do.
BTW, my fourth hate is diesel truck owners who purposely turn up the fuel to do blackouts. I say take all four of them and put them in one spot so they can live together, owners of barking dogs, rap music lovers, bikers, and dieselers. lol
A police riot is a term for the disproportionate and unlawful use of force by a group of police against a group of civilians. This term is commonly used to describe a police attack on peaceful civilians, or provoking peaceful civilians into violence.[citation needed]
A prison riot is a large-scale, temporary act of concerted defiance or disorder by a group of prisoners against prison administrators, prison officers, or other groups of prisoners. It is often done to express a grievance, force change or attempt escape.[citation needed]
In a race riot, race or ethnicity is the key factor. The term had entered the English language in the United States by the 1890s. Early use of the term referred to riots that were often a mob action by members of a majority racial group against people of other perceived races.[citation needed]
In a religious riot, the key factor is religion. The rioting mob targets people and properties of a specific religion, or those believed to belong to that religion.[4]
Student riots are riots precipitated by students, often in higher education, such as a college or university. Student riots in the US and Western Europe in the 1960s and the 1970s were often political in nature. Student riots may also occur as a result of oppression of peaceful demonstration or after sporting events. Students may constitute an active political force in a given country. Such riots may occur in the context of wider political or social grievances.[citation needed]
Urban riots are riots in the context of urban decay, provoked by conditions such as discrimination, poverty, high unemployment, poor schools, poor healthcare, housing inadequacy and police brutality and bias. Urban riots are closely associated with race riots and police riots.[citation needed]
Sports riots such as the Nika riots can be sparked by the losing or winning of a specific team. Fans of the two teams may also fight. Sports riots may happen as a result of teams contending for a championship, a long series of matches, or scores that are close. Sports are the most common cause of riots in the United States, accompanying more than half of all championship games or series.[citation needed] Almost all sports riots occur in the winning team’s city.[5]
Food and bread riots are caused by harvest failures, incompetent food storage, hoarding, poisoning of food, or attacks by pests like locusts. When the public becomes desperate from such conditions, groups may attack shops, farms, homes, or government buildings to obtain bread or other staple foods like grain or salt, as in the 1977 Egyptian Bread Riots
Might I suggest an iPod with noise cancelling headphones, just for your own sanity, then?
There are four main categories of riot, though these distinctions are not mutually exclusive.
A communal riot is characterized by collective violence directed at persons of an opposing group, and may involve racial, ethnic, or religious groupings. Although police or agents of social control may engage in violence to keep the groups apart, the vast majority of collective violence occurs between groups.
A commodity riot is characterized by collective violence directed primarily at property, but may involve people of different groups.
A protest riot involves spontaneous collective violence directed against a specific policy. In contrast to the communal riot, during a protest riot most of the collective violence occurs between the police or other agents of social control and the rioters.
The final, and perhaps most frequent, form of rioting is the revelry or celebration riot. As with a commodity riot, collective violence is directed primarily at property, but may involve persons. However, in contrast to all other riots, a celebration riot does not necessitate grievance and often occurs after a victory over a traditional rival or the winning of a championship.

“although I thought SOP is to cuff everyone”
It is, but I’m guessing the cops maybe didn’t have enough cuffs to go around, so they probably would have had to use zipcuffs or something to do that.
Really? You are good with police serving as judge, jury and executioner?
Do you have a clue as to what due process of law even is?
Do you understand why the Bill of Rights is important?
I cannot believe I just read the garbage you posted on Free Republic.
Bull sh*t. To be blunt, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Been there done this. **Anyone** living in the burbs nowadays knows about the endless obnoxious noise produced by a freaking armies of Mexicans with blowers and string trimmers. Each GD day of the week it's another neighbor.
Thank the Lord I don't put up with that BS any longer. Mindless endless noise. And you bitch about an occasionally motorcycle? Get real.
I am just catching up with this, so I probably have missed important details. I do know there was fighting in a parking lot and a large number participating, surrounded by police.
Imagine...tear gas. Imagine - fire hoses.
You're telling me that the only way it plays out is to open up and shoot them all down?
Is there ANY indication that ANY LEO was in danger of his life?
