The carcass of a dead sperm whale that washed up on a beach in Pacifica was tagged with graffiti bearing the name of a local Bay Area gang.
The graffiti, which spelled out "East Bay Rats Motorcycle Club" in what appeared to be white spray paint, was erased by Wednesday's high tide along the Sharp Park State Beach south of San Francisco.
But photos posted online showed the graffiti scrawled across the whale's body. Several visitors to the beach told NBC Bay Area they deplored the action, with one visitor saying the whale's body should have been left to rest in peace. Efforts to reach the East Bay Motorcycle Club for comment were unsuccessful.
A dead whale that washed ashore on Pacifica beach was defaced with graffiti.
The 50-foot whale washed up on Tuesday.
Marine experts still don’t know how it died. Early indications show no signs of a ship strike, broken bones or a blunt force trauma.
Biologists are still trying to determine what they will do with the carcass. They may bury it on the beach or drag it back out to sea.
A spokeswoman for the Marine Mammal Center, whose veterinarian and marine biologists performed a necropsy on the whale, told The Associated Press that 17 dead sperm whales have washed up on California's northern coast in the 40 years since they have dealt with such cases.
Necropsy results are expected in a couple of weeks.
Well, think of it like a Venn diagram. “Motorcycle clubs” are the big circle, and “motorcycle gangs” are a little circled completely contained in the bigger circle.
So, all motorcycle gangs are also “motorcycle clubs”, but not all “motorcycle clubs” are motorcycle gangs.
YES thats not the sort of Communication.... one might expect from an Outlaw Club’s website.
there might be a freeper or two in that club for all we know
Do not force me to approach this mathematically, I beg of thee.
I don’t know one way or another if they are, but just because they call themselves an “MC” doesn’t mean they are on the up and up, is all I’m saying.
Wasn’t gonna say it out loud, myself...but...
;D
I wouldnt be too surprised if such a poster were to make a comment on this “event” before too long.
Overall, they seem to lean towards a vet's group population.
With bated breath, I await.
[or “baited”, in this fishy case]
Few people are closer to God than bikers.
We have to be.
Never know when we’ll be seeing Him.
You have a good attitude on that.
God bless!
Thank you.
:)
Amen!
Yep, load it onto a flatbed and haul it off to the club and drop it..........
And always be wary of those turning to the left.
[funny how that’s kind of a universal truth]
I know and sometimes ride with those guys, the SFMC.
They are as a group the best of people.
Too bad it didn’t say...
Hillary! Clinton ... For a whale of a president!
Note, she takes up too much space and she smells
bad too.
Just for the record, are you calling them wimps?
To whom are you directing that question?
