The bikers were criminals and thugs, and I’m not heartbroken that nine of them are dead. The Baltimore protestors who marched peacefully were not necessarily thugs, but the Baltimore criminals who rioted and looted stores were thugs. I’m disappointed that no looters were killed. In any case, the Waco gunfight was over quickly, while the thugs in Baltimore had time to bus in more looters and criminals. It’s much harder to get upset over violence that is over within minutes than over a multi-day series of riots with cheerleaders calling for more thuggish recruits to join in.
As for the morons who complain that we value property more than we value the lives of looters, they are right. With today’s ammo prices, black thugs, union thugs, and biker thugs are still worth a double tap, but just barely.
Have you ever followed the actual story of “thuggee” a cult practice that arose in 19th century India. In the name of one of the Hindu deities of destruction, it managed to style double-crossing to be a virtue. The British did not humor that (and neither did mainstream Indian religious practice).
Look at biker codes of honor and how they actually play out in real life. Who shot and knifed whom at Waco? Where are the crying families of dead innocent bystanders? (Crickets)
As for whom is heartbroken when anyone dies, you have to look above you to see that. Looking below you, you will miss it.
