As this drags on and the police have been unable to provide any facts that cast them in a more favorable light notice how the “they had it coming” posters have dwindled. While not a “biker type” (no tats, Born Again, etc.) I have ridden since a teen in the 60s. I discovered early on that there was a rare auto driver that tended to be middle aged male who just unexplainable lost his mind when he saw a motorcycle. I have had them change lanes into mine while making eye contact, pull up and want to race then swerve in ahead of me, and all kinds of idiot stunts. The reason I have survived is I learned to discern who to avoid. Like the Valley Girl talking on her cell you can spot as she speeds up behind you 5 cars back because the little door on the fuel tank is open. I call it the idiot flag.
If you ride to live you have to learn discernment. I suspect the “they got what they deserve” posters to be the same as the middle aged guy who transforms into a violent, aggressive driver at the sight of a motorcycle. Momma wouldn’t let him ride so he hates all of us for it. Mommy issues.
ROFLMAO!!! Now that is funny;)
There are spiritual problems at the bottom of this trouble.
Don’t blame a mama, so much as a small-f father in hell.
That so few of the bikers arrested had prior criminal records tells you RIGHT THERE that they are not "real" bikers in the sense that so many of the "they got what they deserve" types think they are.
I have known over the years quite a few "real" biker-gang criminal-type bikers and wannabees, and can't think of a single one, not even close, who wouldn't have a criminal record. Not one -- they have ALL been busted a time or two or more. So if the majority of those arrested lack criminal records, it means that the cops arrested "fake" bad bikers. What is so disturbing is that so many -- myself included, at first -- see this as simply "let them shoot it out with each other and to hell with them."
This is very, very bad. It's a modern-day Reichstag prep.
