I assumed, and still am suspicious, that you were being condescending.
However, in a more-neutral way -- assuming you are not condescending to me -- I would like you to look this piece over, with an open mind that there may be much truth within. It may explain why Freepers vociferously defend the non-outlaw motorcycle gangs. I don't know that, I do not presume to know everyone's mind. But it could explain it.
Thanks for that link.
What is a non outlaw motorcycle gang?
As to the article ...
I pay my taxes so government will protect me from criminals like the MC patch wearers.
