What I don’t like is the number of people posting here who seem to be okay with what amounts to summary execution.
Someone getting on a motorcycle is not automatically grounds to be shot.
I don’t think people realize that once it’s okay to shoot someone because “they’re just biker scum” it’s not much further to shooting someone because “they’re just Christian scum.”
The nice thing is that the outlaw MC's fly their colors proudly so its possible to identity the dangerous elements. It just takes a little information to differentiate between them and your local collection of dentists and accountants out for a weekend ride.
I'm a Harley Rider, guy with a bike - not a biker.
Hopefully the truth will come out on the police participation. But I am guessing that the bikers did most of the damage. A gal (who knew some of the bikers) said there were about 30 guns out with a hundred shots fired. She implied that it was the gangs gun’s - not the cops.
And, if someone is suspected of committing a felony (firing a gun at someone or clubbing them), my state’s laws state it is legal for any law abiding person to shoot them as they are fleeing. Although I have read on FR where certain Supreme Court rulings have ruled those laws null.
Huh? The police spokesman at the press conference said that once the gunfight moved into the parking lot that the police engaged the shooters. Some of them apparently turned their fire towards the police.
Normally shooting at the police is not a good idea. In fact its a really bad idea, even worse than deciding to get in a shoot out with a rival motorcycle gang.
