Biker gang shootout in Waco

[Perd Hapley]

You are coming across less as mocking the group and more as making light of the threat they pose.

That doesn't make any sense. Was it the part where I said they were dangerous criminals, or the part where I compared them to a group that commits mass murder on video?

1% Motorcycle Clubs are the kind of organization if they think you are disrespecting them will show up at your doorstep in numbers, kick you ass, gang rape your wife in front of you, then kill your wife with a pall peen hammer while making you watch, then if you are lucky they will kill you quickly instead of the same fate your wife got.

[RoadKingLarry]

Reavers 1%ers might take issue with that philosophy. If they had a philosophy. If they weren't too busy gnawing on your insides. Charby's right, Reavers 1%ers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Don't wear a three piece patch and you'll be fine. Just like not going into Bloods territory wearing blue.

What is the difference between the bottom rocker saying the name of a state and the name of a city?

The territory that you can run in without being hassled by the dominant club.

I had no idea the Council of Churches had gotten so heavy-handed.

And, see, I thought this was perfectly in line with my understanding of the Chamber of Commerce.

[MechAg94]

Are these guys in one of the clubs?

Maybe Waco can call in Philo Beddoe and Clyde.

You're right fisty, if someone is trying to communicate something but conveying the opposite message obviously it's the audience's fault for not groking your intent instead of a problem with your communication methodology.

That's if you don't dole out 55gr door prizes to them first, just for showing up.

My ex-BIL was put in the hospital for three days by a Milwaukee Outlaw for absolutely no reason. Just wanted to beat someone to death, and BIL was the first person he saw. When the cops talked to BIL, they told him he could press charges, but then he'd be in danger from the rest of the club. So, the Outlaw was never charged.

Doesn't that 'code of silence' or 'snitches get stitches' work both ways?
They guy has to eat, sleep, *expletive deleted*it, and go about his own business like anyone else, plenty of times he won't be around his boyfriends to protect him.

Yeah.... he's old now. Assuming he's not dead or in prison.

Shouldn't be hard.

I was in a grouchy mood and posted on facebook how tired I was at all the wannabees at the AA clubs in reno/sparks - how to many look like sons of anarchy extras and how the  The Vago's and The Hells Angels are not in charge of AA and that I was sick and tired of them acting like they are.... the vago's I was cordial with are not as friendly any more and the hells angel dood is the same - i suspect he cant read 

I wonder if the killings are going to change the way ppl look at them?

I don't recall saying they were not dangerous. I was just saying that their motivations seem very silly to me. And yes, it is your fault for not understanding that. It weren't exactly written in Hittite.

Unless they're patrolling random message boards, and visiting these capital crimes on random internet gadflies, I'm not sure what your point is.

[Insert the usual tough talk about how I'll take some of them with me, Murica!]

"Reavers MC" does have a certain ring to it.

Lots of people have silly, if not downright imbecilic motivations.  Bikers are far from having a monopoly on that.

Yeah, it's certainly true that you get plenty of stupid from all walks of life.

But the motorcycle gang is unique.  As a hobby, motorcycling does have a monopoly on territorial crime gangs.  You don't see that kind of behavior associated with 4x4 offroading clubs, or bicycling clubs, pilots or boat owners or drag racers or or stamp collectors or gun owners or, well, anything else.  Is there any other recreation that attracts violent organized crime the same way motorcycling does?  

The closest similarity is with inner city street gangs, and that's not based on a common hobby or pastime.  

It's an odd phenomenon.  Why is it motorcycles, of all things?

Doesn't the ricer crowd attract some level of organized crime, at least to a lesser extent?

Sure... we'll go with that.

Ah good one! I forgot about the ATF and their criminal activities

Thanks, my PTSD from Catholic School just made me shiver in my seat.
