Those are the sort of issues which arise.
They are proclaiming club affiliation. Some clubs have bad reputations, some are more earned than others. I am not judge and jury. Now maybe some are 'moral' enough to offend allies for no other reason than they are afraid that their character or reputation might be compromised.
I do not have those fears.
I know who I am, and those who know me know, too. My reputation for integrity speaks for itself, among a wide social spectrum.
“My reputation for integrity speaks for itself”
More power to you and I guess you have been luckier than the husband of the “wife of biker inmate: some arrested in Texas are innocent” . . .
which is the topic of the post; which I understood was HOW to keep lawful bikers from getting arrested when associating with known criminals. Not associating with known criminals was merely my advice.
I am not doubting your personal integrity, I am not telling you personally what to do or with whom to associate.
Furthermore, I read decades and decades ago in print media about outlaw gangs participating in gang rape. A horrible, reprehensible crime. I would not get 100 miles close to a group who participated in, condoned, or would not turn in men who perpetuated such a disgusting crime . . . much less sit at table with them to discuss “common causes” such as highway safety for motorcycles? Give me a break, will you? I did indeed try to obtain documentation for this common knowledge, but when you type in the search words, apparently what you get is porn sites which I will not click on. So no, I am not going to attempt to document what has been reported over decades, before the Internet would connect such an outrage against innocent women, to . . . mere porn. Prove it or disprove it yourself.
OF COURSE, you say, you and your friends would not chain or train rape! But you would sit at table with groups who do condone it?
Not going to convict anyone, just saying again I would not get knowingly within a hundred miles of the OUTLAW gangs, much less eat at table with them, AS THOUGH NOTHING WERE MORE IMPORTANT THAN AGREEING ABOUT HIGHWAY SAFETY FOR MOTORCYCLES? SHEESH. Give me a break again. Not buying it.
And Jesus said repent and sin no more.
