May 18, 201511 yr Just doesn't seem like there's as much of an outrage about this large group of violent individuals as there has been on other issues lately. Contained in a bar with no innocents hurt and no media coverage certainly works to reduce the outrage.
May 18, 201511 yr Contained in a bar with no innocents hurt and no media coverage certainly works to reduce the outrage. Yeah, that's part of the reason...
May 18, 201511 yr A couple of thoughts. One, it is important for all of us to know the difference between hardcore bikers doing it for a living and guys/gals out having a good time on their bikes together. Think of the difference between the Wild Hogs and the Del Fuegos. When you have experienced those two groups it makes a movie like Wild Hogs a 10. Second, remember all those police officers we like to beat up on (not us here, more in the media and in the inner cities). Those same police officers are the only thing standing between us and those Outlaw Bikers. And none of us want to mess with the wrong group of bikers.
May 18, 201511 yr Yeah, that's part of the reason... Not a lot of brothers ride Harleys or join outlaw biker gangs, I'd say.
May 18, 201511 yr Yeah, that's part of the reason... Everyone sees what they want to see. Let the battle spill out into the streets with looting and innocents hurt and put it on national TV for people to see and you'll have your outrage.
May 18, 201511 yr Hopefully this doesn't get worse, the gangs involved have been ordered to kill anyone in uniform. Is this factual or rumor ?
May 18, 201511 yr Parent company has revoked their franchise. Twin Peaks revokes Waco restaurant's franchise - May. 18, 2015
May 18, 201511 yr Where's the outrage? You talking about blaming the guns for the operators killing people with them, or something else?
May 18, 201511 yr If I may, I think @TheDeuce is talking about how if these guys were a bunch of blacks riding into town, the National Guard would have already been called and the town shut down before any shots were fired.
May 18, 201511 yr Police were already there on site before the meeting and when the fight broke out. It's not like a blind eye was turned to the meeting. I read that most that were shot were actually shot by the police for refusing to drop their weapons or pointing them at police. If the police had opened up and killed 9 members of the bloods and crips, that's where you would get your outrage and news coverage. News just doesn't care when a middle aged white guy gets shot by the police...#Whitelivesdon'tmatter :lol2:
May 18, 201511 yr If I may, I think @TheDeuce is talking about how if these guys were a bunch of blacks riding into town, the National Guard would have already been called and the town shut down before any shots were fired. Thanks LA, pretty much what I'm getting at. Large group of black people and nine people die, this would be another Ferguson or Baltimore, but probably worse in terms of media coverage.
May 18, 201511 yr I guess when a group of white criminals get killed, other white people don't really care.
