“These people aren’t Crips or Bloods, so kindly quit insulting our intelligence by conflating motorcyclists with street gangs.”

From what I have read, the Bandidos do not make their money posting up in front of the local Walgreens and selling cookies with their mothers. Instead, it seems they have been known to make money by distributing narcotics, kidnapping and killing police officers when needed.

Saying they had “hit at the heart” of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club, authorities here announced Friday they had arrested 10 of its members and closed a pipeline that had brought $600 million worth of methamphetamine to the area in the past decade.

“The arrests were dubbed “Operation Screaming Eagle” and occurred this week during a national surge of arrests of people linked to Mexican drug cartels in response to the killing of a U.S. law enforcement officer in Mexico.”

“They face charges of conspiracy and knowingly possessing with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine and 5 kilograms or more of cocaine, prosecutors said.”

“Two Belle Chasse men affiliated with the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang were arrested last week on kidnapping, second-degree battery, false imprisonment, methamphetamine manufacturing and weapons charges, Plaquemines Parish Sheriff Lonnie Greco announced Thursday.”

Now please explain the difference between the Bandidos and the Crips and Bloods.

You are still painting with that broad brush. My point was that not everyone there is a member of the Cossacks or the Banditos, and even in those organizations not all are engaged in criminal activity.

You act as if all anyone on a motorcycle does is ride around and sell drugs.

Not so. Bikers are pretty high profile for that.

If you really want a drug mule, look for someone who looks like a middle class traveling salesman in a modest vehicle with a beefed up suspension and a load in the door panels. They can haul a lot more crap than anyone could fit on a motorcycle.

I am not saying everyone in the Banditos or the Cossacks, or the Sunday sewing circle is a saint. You can find criminals in any group of people large enough.

But I'm not asserting everyone at that meeting was a Bandito or Cossack, either. A minimum of due diligence would indicate that, or you can take the word of those who spew nonsense.
