“appears to have been a legitimate, organized gathering of motorcycle riders meeting to discuss political issues. “
Well, I have to admit, that almost sounds plausible seeing how many such events usually end up in some sort of altercation.
Not all bikers are members of gangs. Not even a large percentage. This was supposed to be a meeting of motorcycle riders, from all walks of life, to discuss pending legislation that would affect motorcycle riders.
Really?
And how many of these events have you attended?
Over the last 40+ years, I have attended hundreds and never witnessed an altercation.
