This may come as a shock to you but criminals have rights too.
Sure they do, but when the author is an associate of the same criminal front group the defendants were using to further their criminal operation, that doesn’t speak well to his subjectivity.
Now, what rights do you think these criminals had that were violated, exactly?
Of course criminals have right too. The right to a fair trial, the right to remain silent.
Personally I am happy to give criminal bike gang thugs the same rights they give their victims of terrorizing, intimidation, denying others the right to association, beating someone with a hammer for some ‘rocker’, murdered for ‘disrespecting’, selling kids the really bad drugs like crack/meth/heroin, stealing and destroying peoples property. Oh, and how about the rights of the girls they force into prostitution?
When they begin respecting everyone else’s rights, they can have theirs back. Otherwise as long as they and any of their sniveling groupies are presenting themselves in public dressed like and acting like hoodlums, they will be treated as hoodlums they so diligently try to portray.
